Another excuse to stay home from work and get paid. For the unfortunate few trying to run a business another poke in the eye. The fact that the House and Senate voted unanimously for this shows how both sides of the aisle knows where their bread is buttered. Follow the herd. |

My point is how many spineless politicians held their noses while publicly endorsing this. Would you risk all the perks that go with their job and vote with your heart? Wall to wall health benefits, pensions just to list a few. So much easier to hold your nose with one hand and vote Aye with the other. Disgraceful representation regardless of where you stand on a particular issue. |

I have a moving picture of private employers insisting that their employees show up for work on Juneteenth. Or not paying them double time for showing up. You really think that’s gonna fly? Federal workers already lining up at the trough. I’m sure they’ll spend the day in quiet reflection. |

The US is below the average of the G20 nations in number of public holidays. Feel free to trade places with the vast majority any time....US workers do not have strong protections, and holidays and vacations are below average and we don't have mandatory health coverage. Feel free to trade places with the majority any time.... |

Yes, Bill I agree with your observation of the continued bastardization of the English language. June nineteenth just had to be “shorted’ to Juneteenth just to rub it in. Is it necessary to play ‘catch up’ with our former European allies by declaring every “who really gives a shit day” and proclaiming it a National Holiday?. Groundhog Day can’t be too far behind. |

No, we needn't play catch up, by the way, the UK is well behind us on holidays, some of the highest numbers are actually S. American. But at the same time we aren't overflowing with holidays or time off, so it shouldn't be seen as a catastrophe either. |

I wish someone could come up with a dollar figure. Because, let’s face it, it all comes down to money. Whether it’s a slip and fall in a Walmart or reparations to former slaves, people who were related to former slaves, people who thought they may have been related to slaves, etc. I’m fucking sorry. If I had been alive at that time(but I wasn’t) I would have never owned slaves. But please, just tell me how much money do you need from me so I never have to have to listen to this undeserved pity party again. |

I think the reparations thing has expanded beyond anything that could possibly e considered reasonable. A huge number of the people in the US today have no ties to the 1800s on either side of the story. |

Paying a whole lot of people to sit home and collect holiday pay for doing nothing is a veiled form of reparations. Evanston Illinois is the first American city who at least has the balls to call reparations what they really are, a feel good handout. 400k handout to qualified households with a commitment to 10 million over 10 years. When Evanston tied the giveaway to mortgage reduction and home improvements slave descendants had a shit fit. They want the money unfettered by such restrictions. Just give us the money. |

Holidays are commemorations for everyone, trying to equate it to reparations is ridiculous. Millions of people don't get paid for holidays. When they don't work they don't get paid. If you don't want to pay people to work on holidays, here's a novel idea. Go back to when most businesses were closed on holidays (and often on Sundays) But too many businesses are afraid they might leave a nickel on the table...I live near an Orthodox Jewish (modern, not Hasidic) the businesses are all closed Friday night and Saturday. And believe me they have a lot of holidays. |

So forced and unpaid labor recovery is a handout? LMAO!!! People who say silly stuff like this do not understand finances at all. Reparations is literally just money owned to the descendants of African-American slaves by the government in unpaid wages that are owed to our families for our ancestors' labor, it is a payment on a bill that is about, say, a few hundred years past due.If you truly believe that it is a handout, then be about mentality and lead by example. Tell your employer that you're now a volunteer and that they can spend your salary on whatever they please. "Handout", LOL, call it what you want, it's still owed. |

I'm sure there are some traceable descendants, but any effort to figure out realistic numbers is futile. So many people have come into the country since then, and marriages across succeeding generations likely results in today's population having miniscule percentages of slave lineage. The greatest majority of the population have no traceable roots to that era, either as slave owners, or even as residents of the country. Do you think people who may have had ancestors that died fighting against slavery should bear any financial responsibility. Dream on. Do we owe money to any of the other groups who suffered under racial and ethnic discrimination they endured? |
