Just to clarify things here, Juneteenth and The March on Pain are two very seperate issues for those that are un-aware of what Juneteeth is here is a bit of history behind this Holiday:

History of Juneteenth

Juneteenth (19/June/1865)

June 19th is an unofficial holiday observed by thousands of African Americans, primarily in some southern states. The holiday originated in Texas during the Civil War period, when news of the Emancipation Proclamation signed by President Abraham Lincoln in September 1862, to become effective on January 1, 1863, did not reach Texas slaves until June 1865. The slaves immediately left the plantations, congregated in the cities and began celebrating their freedom by praying, feasting, dancing, and singing.

Juneteenth originated in Texas and has now become a state holiday there as well as in Iowa, Idaho, California, Wyoming, and several other states. As Texans of African American descent have migrated across the United States and settled elsewhere, they have taken the observance of Juneteenth with them. More and more descendents of slaves in other states are joining in the celebration and seeking in some instances to make the holiday a legal one in their respective states. Observances are held to amore or lesser degree in Louisiana, the Carolinas, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, California and Illinois. Naturally barbeque, prepared Texas style, dominates the feasting. The festivities start at dawn when pits are fired up for the barbecuing and the heavy aroma of chili cooking fills the air. The celebrating usually continues until the wee hours of the next morning. Juneteenth is a Mardi Gras without costumes.

Why such a celebration would bother anyone is beyond me, maybe you just were not aware of what this holiday was about.
