I hope it covers the name cause it's a pretty dumb sounding name like if I had to guess everything would be focused on the 16th since june is the sixth month

It's literally just a portmanteau of June Nineteenth.

Portmanteaus are super common and lots of fun. I have no idea why you'd take issue with this particular one.

[-] danc4498@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Portmanteau is a fun word as well!

[-] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Using the 16th would also be a portmanteau but the nineteenth is almost rhyming which might be some other special thing

It’s not like the day was chosen randomly. June 19th is when the emancipation proclamation was read in Texas, the last state to hear it.

Why am I supposed to know this stuff already, I hadn't even watched the video yet

It’s ok not knowing stuff but you’re coming in with a false confidence saying the dumbest shit. I hope you’re trolling.

[-] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

What false confidence? I don't know what I'm saying that sounds confident

A Lemmy classic. Commenting on the content without having looked at the content.

I was just saying I hope it's something covered since I couldn't watch it at the time, honestly I've only started hearing about juneteenth in the last couple years

[-] Venator@lemmy.nz 2 points 1 year ago

I ain't watching a 19 minute video about it, I'm in the comment section for the summary...

[-] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

I just like using comments like bookmarks because I always forget about stuff I save or star
