My fiance is a chef. I showed her this and told her that if you're ever having a day at work that at least you're not having this day.
They have either had this day or will have this day
And I send my love bc I have had this day and I'm not even a chef -

did you say the quiet part out loud or did you forget to take off your hood before you commented?

you mocked a holiday that is a celebration of the abolition of slavery in the US by calling it a "weird" holiday.
what's weird about it?

In case you're being genuinely naïve, both your comments read as something a racist would say.
Calling Juneteenth a weird holiday implies it makes you uncomfortable. I personally wasn't raised celebrating the tradition - but it only took a quick web search and reading a few articles to quickly find plenty of reasons to like the holiday. What precisely do you find weird about the holiday?
Your follow-up comment was even more damning - you were asked if you wore a hood (like a Ku Klux Klansman) and your reply was as though you were asked if you wore a hoodie (cliché stereotype).
Are you like openly racist? I'd ask if it is some misunderstanding, but you're swinging zero for two so far.

Well for me I guess I would've liked voting day to be a holiday before we got to any others. It felt like a vibey culture war win rather than actual progress.
But like it is a thing worth celebrating. Much better than Columbus day lol.

That was way more explosive than I expected.
If anyone else see this can they explain how wanting voting day to be a national holiday before juneteenth is so touchy?
Like having voting day off would be a tangible benefit to everyone, especially any folks that live paycheck to paycheck or have more abusive employers. It would literally swing our politics in the favor of our most vulnerable.
To me juneteenth is important, but more in a historic and emotional sense. Which is cool, but like if we were gonna do just one I'd pick the one that helps the most folks.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]It's not unusual, it's just more recently reached a more widespread audience. It's a massively important holiday celebrating an extremely significant turning point in your country. It's an absolute shame it took it 150 years to become more widely recognized by those other than whom it directly affected.
Also, just say you're racist, bro.

All holidays are weird. Half are choosing to celebrate some minute facet of human life and the other half are some facet of human history (often blown up into legend)
In a world where we have holidays for a fertility god long since swallowed up by mystery cult god with the symbol of an oviparous hare, and we invite children to openly impersonate devilry each year in the autumn, or how we celebrate Columbus for their "discovery" when the continent itself was named after Amerigo Vespucci (and both events glossing over the indigenous people living here already) … and you think Juneteenth is the unusual one?
What do you find so weird about the day? (Enough to go out of your way to advertise your discontent in social media) - I'm genuinely curious.
