LMAO, AITA for thinking Juneteenth will just be another day corporations use to sell me overpriced watermelon soda and a new grudge-holding holiday to virtue signal about?
TL;DR: Just saw my local grocery store roll out a “Juneteenth Freedom Feast” meal deal for $49.99, complete with a cardboard cutout of Harriet Tubman. Meanwhile, my HOA sent a passive-aggressive email saying we can’t fly the Juneteenth flag because it might “upset the aesthetic” of the community pool. So yeah, the holiday went from “finally, reparations for 400 years of trauma” to “hey, buy this red velvet cake mix with a 30% markup.” Peak capitalism, amirite? 🫡
