Take on Juneteenth

As Juneteenth finally got it's official recognition, I'm shocked to hear that there is anything remotely controversial about it. The day to commemorate the end of slavery is a day worth recognizing and the fact that it took 150 years to make it an official holiday is all you need to know

The argument about creating another summer holiday is incoherent and idiotic but what does bother me is that it will take a few years to completely bastardize the day with mattress sales, long weekend on the beach and more commercial nonsense.

Like Veterans Day, Memorial Day or Martin Luther King day..these days should almost better served with kids actually going to school to learn about the importance of the day
