Happy Juneteenth everyone. One of only 11 U.S. Federal Holidays, it celebrates one the occasions in history when America did something truly positive.
Notably, the current inhabitant of the White House did not mention it at all, even though in the last week he took time out to acknowledge Flag Day, which is not a federal holiday. What could be the reason for this?
One explanation is that he is a dyed in the wool racist who thinks the U.S. made a mistake in abolishing slavery. Another explanation is that he is just an idiot.
I would go with the explanation that best fits the facts. Unfortunately, they both do.
