I saw this article pointing out the wave of shootings tied to Juneteenth celebrations. I thought that the writer was pretty naive. This could almost be considered an example of white privilege. Holidays entail certain traditions. Some of those traditions reflect ethnic or religious origins. Let’s review.

Is it racist to support the holiday traditions embodied by one ethnic group and decry the traditions of another ethnic group?
