Juneteenth "National Independence Day"

What was originally a great idea for a national holiday was ruined, to my mind, when they decided to officially name it "Juneteenth National Independence Day"...2.5 weeks before actual Independence Day.

   It makes no sense to call it an "independence day." "Emancipation Day" would have been more accurate. And the "national" bit is just absurd. 

  This is clearly another blue-team shot across the bow against the U.S. and its traditions, an attempt to supersede the Fourth of July. Something like an attempt to create a progressive analog of / substitute for the 4th.

   It would make much more sense to celebrate the Emancipation Proclamation. A practical problem is that it was issued January 1st ('63). But a preliminary version was issued September 22nd ('62 I guess?).

   Ok, 6/19 was already an established holiday of sorts among black Americans. So going with that date is fine. But there's simply no excuse for the nonsensical and provocative "national independence day" nonsense--especially given the date.

   "Weaponizing" this holiday is pretty despicable.
