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

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.

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?

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.
