Should white people celebrate Juneteenth, the holiday on June 19 annually that celebrates and remembers Black freedom from slavery. Activist Shaun King is upset that a group of white people will be celebrating Juneteenth at a barbeque day.

Is it a holiday for white people to celebrate or stay out from?

I didn't vote on this one.  People of any color should celebrate whatever holiday they want to celebrate, just like they should honor whomever they want to honor.

An extra day off to barbecue and drink beer? And trash-talk the Confederacy on top of that? Count me in.

It's a Sunday this year, don't most of us get it off?  Like most holidays it's a meh to me and I will not be celebrating.

Uncle Gramps, when you work for the Gummit, federal holidays that fall on the weekend get moved to the next Monday.  For me, however, since my RDO (regular day off) is Monday... my Juneteenth day off is actually Tues!  Blessed be! 

And this white fella will absolutely be celebrating with my black friends, as Southern DEMOCRATS wouldn't have allowed me to have black friends if they had their way.

People of any race should be joyous for a paid day off of work, and hope there are many more.
