Not many people were shot, tho. That's a good thing.

In June 2009 the Obama Administration officially designated the month of June as "Pride Month", and with a snap of his fingers and billions of dollars in government subsidies, the concept slowly turned into a cultural plague, much like an annual flu that sticks around for three weeks longer than it should.
By the time Obama's Vice President, Joe Biden, entered the White House in 2021, pride parades were heavily funded events backed by federal agencies like USAID along with numerous corporations looking for ESG points and easy money. After the BLM riots, Democrats were looking for a way to cement the minority vote in their favor while also continuously pressing racial division.
The Biden Admin decided to federally recognize "Juneteenth", a "celebration" of the emancipation of slaves that no one had ever heard of until the Democrats made it official.
Rather than acting as a tool for racial healing, Juneteenth has become yet another attempt to incessantly inject racial conflict as its proponents assert that white Americans today need to pay for the slavery of centuries ago. Never mind that white Americans fought a bloody civil war in part to end the practice. Never mind that it's an institution that existed for thousands of years before the US was founded, yet progressives seem to think slavery is exclusively American.
No one in the west needs a reminder that slavery is bad.
The artificial popularity of these DEI events has been made evident this June with the erasure of bureaucratic handouts and a sharp pullback in corporate participation. Juneteenth has been a dud in 2025 and the political left is not happy about it.
