I don't even understand the point of this meme


It is called "satire."

Those on the left usually miss the point of satire. Limbaugh showed that hundreds of times. I just showed it again I guess.

Satire is usually based on reality though. Your meme was just stupid.

Limbaugh's entire existence satirized humanity.

Humanity needs to be satirized.

What a great meme. They want to burn the Confederate flag, tear down every statue that reminds that reminds us there was ever slavery in this country, and then celebrate the fact that there was slavery by having a national holiday. This is a perfect reminder of how insane the left is. They have no idea what they want or what they're doing. If you want to get rid of the memory of slavery and pretend it never happened, you don't set aside a national holiday commemorating it.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

It’s a national holiday celebrating *the end* of slavery.

Try to think of it this way: Someone mentioned Rush Limbaugh earlier. When we celebrate his death, we are not saying he was great man. We are celebrating the fact that HE’S DEAD.

Perhaps the baby trump blimp, or naked statue of Trump was a "celebration" of Trump. I just hadn't been thinking about it right.

This stupid holiday was imposed upon the people without their vote or opportunity to provide meaningful imput.

A stop gap political sop.

Juneteenth was originally celebrated in Texas, on June 19, 1866. It marked the first anniversary of the day that African Americans there first learned of the Emancipation Proclamation, more than two years after it was initially issued.Jun 18, 2021

At the beginning of 2021, there were three states left that didn't recognize Juneteenth as a holiday: North and South Dakota, and Hawaii.
