Pretty funny that this is getting so much traction on the (recognized) Juneteenth holiday during Pride month. Tell us how you really feel…

  So people should hold back their opinions during specific celebrations or they are homophonic? That is… an insane stretch to say the least.

    No, I'm just saying that if it was a rainbow or Juneteenth flag that made you mad, then say that. Don't over-generalize, tell us how you really feel. I'm being earnest.

      I’m pretty sure they told you how they feel. Why are you assuming things not stated? How is that helpful? Also, there is a Juneteenth flag? It’s a full time job to keep up these days.

        >I’m pretty sure they told you how they feel. Why are you assuming things not stated? Again, was just pointing out that this article about 'Political Activism' is getting a ton of traction on the one day of the year when we (in America) recognize the historical oppression of both LGBT and black people. Am I missing a trend of app icons that recognize other 'political' causes? Because if the author is mad about rainbow or Juneteenth coloring of their apps, they should just say that and not self-censor to the point of ambiguity. If a bunch of apps are changing their icons to support random propositions, then I agree with them, but I don't think that is what is happening. >Also, there is a Juneteenth flag? It’s a full time job to keep up these days. Keep up with what exactly (By the way, no one is asking you to take on this job)? Flags? Because I can guarantee that the rate of flag-designing is multiple-orders of magnitude lower than it was even in the early 20th century.

          “Am I missing a trend of app icons that recognize other 'political' causes?” Yes.

                1) Oh, supporting Ukraine is 'politics' to you? Say no more. 2) None of those apps actually changed their icons for Ukraine, except the one based in Ukraine

  That is called to have a "hidden agenda". Nowadays, articles get a lot of criticism for having "an agenda". That has never been a bad thing, everybody one way or another has an agenda. Nothing wrong with that. But in that noise it has been lost the idea that "hidden agendas" are bad. Someone pushes for an idea, but in reality they are pushing for some effect that has nothing to do with that original idea. "Hidden agendas" are bad because make dialog, understanding and getting to agreements difficult if not impossible.

  What the hell is a Juneteenth?
  • parrellel 4y ago
    It's African American's name for the day slavery effectively ended and as of last year(?) a federal holiday.
    • yessirwhatever 4y ago
      Ok, thanks for clarifying.
      • parrellel 4y ago
        No problem.

      It’s the day that it was announced to have ended in Texas. Slavery was still practiced in Kentucky and Delaware until the ratification of the 13th Amendment.
