@a7x-isbetter-thanu You can say that about a lot of holidays.

There’s no reason to celebrate Christmas or Easter if you’re not Christian.
There’s no reason to celebrate Thanksgiving if your ancestors weren’t a part of the English Colonists.
There’s no reason to celebrate Veteran’s day if none of your family was in the military.

It’s worth celebrating if you don’t only see America as a previously slave-owning country. Jews were slaves during the Nazi era, but they don’t say there’s no point in having a comfortable bed because their ancestors didn’t have one.

@InvalidBandit Bad? How so

@Duchess It’s- history about our Country! It’s a day to celebrate independence.

And while I realize that, my experiences in the world are gonna be different than yours and I’m reminded of that constantly.

Just because I don’t celebrate July 4 it doesn’t mean that I don’t appreciate being in America

@InvalidBandit Uh…I know. If you didn’t get the point I was trying to make, I was getting that you can’t really say “there’s no point in celebrating because my ancestors…” because you can say that about many holidays that people still celebrate. Hence the list.

For me honestly, in my family we celebrate Juneteenth like july4

I love celebrating Independence day. It’s an important holiday, no matter where your ancestors are from or what they did.

@a7x-isbetter-thanu Well, that’s not what I said at all.

@a7x-isbetter-thanu Wow. You don’t- okay.
