Corporate executives and celebrities are rallying behind calls to make Juneteenth a national paid holiday.. It marks the date when a Union army general arrived in Galveston, Texas to enforce the Emancipation Proclamation.
The Grammy-winning singer, television host Ellen DeGeneres, "Black-ish" creator Kenya Barris and CNN's Van Jones are working with Global Citizen and consulting firm Teneo to help galvanize companies and state governments to recognize Juneteenth as a paid holiday.
Pharrell So he’s pro capitalism? I’m so confused
Pharrell This is a gesture, just like talk it’s cheap
Pharrell Thats fine if companies want to recognize a day nobody had even heard about a few weeks ago. I’m all for recognizing the abolishment of slavery, but you really lose me and other Americans when you say tax payers owe reparations to others due to skin pigmentation. GTFO!
Pharrell Screw Juneteenth!

Pharrell I wonder how Pharrell celebrated Juneteenth last year 🤔
Pharrell I said this first. I think.
Pharrell Probably would be best if paid holidays were instead for national voting.

Pharrell What does that do? Another day off for lazy americans, yay
Pharrell Who dat?
Well Shit! Blackpink broke Youtube record (most viewed in 24 hours) with their new song on Friday. We should also make that a paid Holiday! Now, how you like that?
While were at it, lets add election day as well.
Why don't you pay everyones salary. Why isn't the day the Emancipation Proclamation was signed not a 'holiday'? Because Juneteenth was the 'last date' that slaves were Fred? This was a Texas specific event, and making it a holiday is absurd. Why not VE, VJ Day, Kristallnacht etc
I got a buck that says a month ago he had no idea what Juneteenth is!
Never existed until this year. Wasn't even on digital calendars until this year. But I can always use another paid day off from work.
Why not just make it one continuous holiday from Juneteenth through July 4?
