I wasn’t paying any attention to him and after he left, the bartender told me he was griping about Juneteenth and how it shouldn’t be a holiday. It must have gone like, “Check, please…and I hate Juneteenth.” I was sorry I missed that comment as I would have inquired why he thinks Juneteenth shouldn’t be a holiday…and then perhaps I would have kicked him in the goober. Juneteenth was the day in 1865 that slaves in Texas discovered the Civil War was over. While Juneteenth is mostly celebrated by Black Americans, it should be recognized and appreciated by every American. What I don’t get is that people, like the Creepster, are publicly announcing that they don’t like Juneteenth.
