Juneteenth

Juneteenth is Thursday.

My office is having a Juneteenth Potluck. Two of the four black people who work in my office are going to be out that day...planned well in advance.

I'm white. I kind of feel like Juneteenth is the kind of holiday where people like me should tread lightly. Maybe wear a t-shirt that says, "You're right, we're kind of assholes."

I don't think that it's a day when 40 white people should sign up for a pot luck with items like "good ole' cole slaw" and "mammy's fried chicken."
