just letting you know it& #39;s okay if you weren& #39;t really hip to juneteenth until very recently. you& #39;re not alone, no matter what your timeline tells you.

and for white people awkwardly trying to figure out what they& #39;re supposed to do on juneteenth, the answer is always "make a brisket."

one quick thought on the idea of making juneteenth a holiday...

i remember my dad saying he only cared but so much about making martin luther king& #39;s birthday a holiday. cuz whether it was a holiday to them, it was a holiday to him, and he was gonna take it if he wanted to.

which is to say, i don& #39;t care that much about juneteenth being validated by the state. never needed it before. don& #39;t need it now. guess it& #39;s cool to have or something like that, but really not necessary.
