White guy here, and I have never heard of "Trucktober"..

I'm also going to my local Juneteenth events (in Oakland).. that said, I did have to look it up a few years ago.

EDIT: Yeah, downvote me, I replied to the wrong sub-thread post. Made more sense w/r/t resistance to Juneteenth naming.

You must be some sort of communist! There's a Trucktober question on the naturalization test, right before the one about Thanksgiving.

I don't know what your point is. You know Frappaccino? So his point stands? Regardless of his examples, we deal with no end of made up nonsense words, rarely anybody bats an eye until it sounds black and has to do with black people.And yes, this is a thing, this thread is the umpteenth one I've encountered today with people undermining and questioning the name for what amounts to it sounding black.

So your anecdote isn't useful. Kind of the opposite.
