Damn I leave and the peaceful fukkery arrives to those that booed
Juneteenth is not a Texas thing
It's not a Black thing
We're talking about freedom for everyone
Everyone was not enslaved only Black people
12/6/1865.I don't care about a superficial neg lol
I know the history, we're not talking about freedom for everyone.
It's freedom for Black Americans who were enslaved in America.
12/6/1865.
Keep exposing yourself.
Not sure that's senility, until this year 90% of White people had no fukking clue what Juneteenth was.I didn't check that guy's profile.
The video is the important part, though. Without a teleprompter, Biden is a senile old man.
I'm not exposing myself lol
I quoted exactly what Opal said during the end of the video you dumbass lol....Watch the video of her talking you fukking idiot lol
"Juneteenth is not a Texas thing

Do you think juneteenth is only celebrated in Texas?
Do you think we should ignore Spanish, Mexican, native American, and Anglo-American involvement in the slave trade? Or when we discuss slavery is it only limited to black folks without acknowledging those who enslaved us?
Not just black people were enslaved, despite us making up the extreme majority of slaves. Not sure why this is controversial.
You're a goofy.
Native American slavery was a thing and was more prevalent the further you went west and outside of the deep south.Ol Lord
So you guys got it right and Mrs. Lee got it wrong?

This article was published in 2020 and was updated on June 18 to reflect President Biden’s signing of a bill that made Juneteenth a federal holiday.
When Opal Lee was growing up in Texas, she would spend Juneteenth picnicking with her family, first in Marshall, where she was born, then in Sycamore Park in Fort Worth, near the home she moved into at age 10.
She and her family lived in a predominantly white neighborhood in Fort Worth. When Mrs. Lee was 12, a mob of 500 white supremacists set fire to her home and vandalized it. The structure was destroyed, and no arrests were made.
Experiencing that hate crime pushed Mrs. Lee into a life of teaching, activism and, eventually, campaigning. In 2016, at the age of 89, she decided to walk from her home in Fort Worth to Washington, D.C., in an effort to get Juneteenth named a national holiday. She traveled two and a half miles each day to symbolize the two and a half years that Black Texans waited between when Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, on Jan. 1, 1863, abolishing slavery, and the day that message arrived in Galveston, where Black people were still enslaved, on June 19, 1865.
As Mrs. Lee approached 93 last year, Fort Worth celebrated Juneteenth with multiple days of festivities, including a parade, a walk/run 5K, a breakfast of prayer, art exhibits, a gospel festival and the Miss Juneteenth Pageant.

Doesn't change anything about White Supremacy, chattel slavery and their lasting affects on Black Americans. We don't have to monopolize grief to still be entitled to reparations
I've already mentioned native Americans also were slave traders. This doesn't discredit the fact that they were also enslaved.Ol lord
Did the Native American generate the wealth of American
Also the Native Americans enslaved Black people...the fukk are you talking about and they also refused to free the Black slaves. The Native Americans were also slave catchers
Also:
I've already mentioned native Americans also were slave traders. This doesn't discredit the fact that they were also enslaved.
But most importantly, this doesn't discredit her statement, which is about declaring juneteenth a federal holiday to codify the ending of slavery in America in general.
Put your kufi away. I'm not here for kufi babble.
amen....Black people need reparations not some holiday
