Yes. And those who believe everything on the internet are not igonorant. If its there it must be true!

Don’t use strawman arguments mixed with sarcasm, it doesn’t help anyone. Not everything on the internet is a lie or propaganda.

Wikipedia is reliable enough to lookup what Juneteenth is, if you were really curious and not just complaining about the name.

I get that you're reasonably new here, but we need you to understand that this style of commenting on Hacker News is unacceptable. It's not what the site is for and it destroys what it is for. Please read and observe the guidelines, particularly these ones:

Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes.

Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.

When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."

Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community.

Eschew flamebait. Avoid generic tangents. Omit internet tropes.

Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples curiosity.

> America's latest attempt at making themselves feel better about their barbaric cultural history

This isn't a new phenomena. Juneteenth has been celebrated for well over a hundred years now.

The American ethnocentrism is real and in FORCE when racism is involved. Not surprising for an American holiday relevant only to Americans.

Genuinely curious--what's a country that doesn't have a barbarous cultural history?
