Yesterday was Juneteenth. Five years ago, you would’ve never known. But now, it’s a federal holiday.
I don’t pretend to know the ins and outs of how that works, but it’s still wild to me. We just … made something a federal holiday. Hilarious. I guess that’s how things become holidays, though. They don’t just appear out of thin air. Someone has to declare them a federal holiday, so here we are.
Anyway, that’s not the point of this. Bubba Wallace – easily the most polarizing driver in NASCAR – pressed send on a Juneteenth message to all of his social media followers across all platforms, and lit up the internet like the Fourth of July (hey, another federal holiday!).
Look, I actually don’t see much wrong with it. I’ve seen worse. And again, the whole Juneteenth thing is so new/weird that I won’t even pretend to know if this is right or not. Don’t care, frankly.
