Well, call me old-fashioned, but since when do we need a whole new holiday and a government handout parade every time history decides to get a fresh coat of paint?
LOCAL TAXPAYERS FURIOUS OVER TACKY JUNETEENTH FLOAT BLOCKING TRAFFIC—WHY CAN’T WE JUST CELEBRATE COMMON SENSE AND KEEP THE ROADS OPEN FOR PEOPLE TRYING TO GET TO WORK?
I’m all for remembering history, but this “Juneteenth Jubilee” on Main Street turned our morning commute into a parking lot for three hours because someone thought a giant, inflatable “Emancipation Proclamation” sculpture needed a police escort. Read the room, folks—most of us are just trying to pick up our kids from school, not watch a re-enactment of a press release. If you want to celebrate, do it in a park, not by blocking the fire station. Common sense, people. It’s not a political statement, it’s how we keep the lights on, for crying out loud. SMH.
