It is also now a holiday for the large corporation for which I work.

That's fine. Black people should be free.

If the Republican Party had any brains, they would use the occasion to reach out to, and then register middle-class black folks into the party that ended slavery, as opposed to the one that defended chains first, and segregation next.

"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Juneteenth is a Republican victory!
It is the day Republicans told Democrats that they can no longer hold slaves.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.
