as a paid ... holiday?
Juneteenth is great, I hate slavery as a secular definition. So this is a great holiday to have as a reminder that ungodly slavery, which encompassed a certain group of people, ended this day.
However, please somebody explain this to me:
"Multiple companies have announced that they will either honor or recognize Juneteenth as a paid holiday for their employees this year, as a sign of support for the Black community."
Article: Here's a running list of all the big companies observing Juneteenth this year
Someone I know went to work today and was told by their company that (in so many words) only black people will be getting time and a half.
Someone explain to me how this isn't "racist"?
Note: I do not believe in racism, it's a secular view; however I do recognize it as a secular definition. I believe the proper word to be "tribalism" or "nations" as God puts it. Nation against nation, as an example.
Also, if this isn't the right forum, I apologize. Move as needed.
