“We want to acknowledge some feedback received regarding our Juneteenth celebration,” Pezzuto said in his letter obtained by The North Carolina Beat. “Although our intent was to celebrate this nationally recognized day, some of you voiced your concerns regarding the associated food choices.”

In other words, we’re sorry you were offended.

      Hey everyone! I don’t understand racism in the slightest but I’m sure going to tell everyone my opinions on it!

      Fixed that for you.

      Racism has very little to do with being offended. It goes much deeper than that. If all racism entailed were a few people being offended then we wouldn’t have a holiday based around the freeing of a enslaved people. If people continue to tell people to get over it, nothing will ever change because the healing can never begin.
