Trump used Juneteenth to denounce ‘nonworking holidays.’ Some political observers say it wasn’t a coincidence
For social justice activist Glenn Harris, President Donald Trump’s statement on Juneteenth, arguing there are “too many nonworking holidays in America” costing the country “billions of dollars” was no surprise.
For social justice activist Glenn Harris, Donald Trump’s statement on Juneteenth, arguing there are “too many nonworking holidays in America” costing the country “billions of dollars,” was no surprise.
Harris said the comments coming on the federal holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the United States were consistent with Trump’s most recent policies and practices working against people of color.
“In many ways it’s just a continuation of this administration’s attempt to erase the civil rights, free speech and literally the history of Black and brown people,” said Harris, who is president of Race Forward.
He is starting a war on Christmas
Fucking duh.
I’d go a step further and say that this was intended to paint black folks as “nonworking” and lazy. Most likely a dogwhistle cooked up in the diseased brain of Stephen Miller.
Stephen miller probably the laziest person on staff after trump. The deputy chief of staff
It's part of republicans' War on Juneteenth.
Its funny how they still play word games with Trump's blatant racism.
Cancel Christmas first. See how that goes.
Buncha lazy chrizzos sitting around and shutting the markets down for a couple days when we could be trading crypto, I tell ya
You know, I'd expect he'd love holidays. Since He's a lazy bitch and enjoys spectacle.
It’s not a coincidence, Trump is and always was a fucking racist.
Golly, ya reckon?
It was not a coincidence.
We have the most heartless system for workers and these scumbags want us to work more days and more hours and only live to make them richer.
If you're working, a holiday is not much of a holiday, now is it?
Also, I don't really trust on Trump knowing what good or bad for business, because we all know he's not as good at it as he implies. Him not being able to make money on holiday sales sounds like a skill issue.
Lol, some. The other "political observers" are fucking idiots.

“Some”? They’re racists who don’t deserve discretion. Name names.
