@Savage Dogg Stop using the internet to say stuff you wouldn't say to our brown faces. We all know inreal life if black folks are minding their business talking to each other you wouldn't come in the middle of us and start talking that trash.
I love this guy. His explanation of the importance of Juneteenth to the Black community is brilliant. He discusses the historical facts of that period. It is critical that people include the 13th and 14th Amendments when we discuss the Emancipation of slaves. I think that it is important to remember that this is not a holiday that the government gave us. It is something we have been celebrating forever.

@William Rockwell not only that I want the anti lynching bill SIGNED, so we can get these bad cops locked up. Don't play dumb, they oppose everything else but this juneteenth holiday. That's not enough,👎🏿, I'm not impressed
@William Rockwell unreasonable? Getting justice is unreasonable now? Look a Juneteenth holiday doesn't threaten anything, it has no substance, therefore I'm not impressed!
@William Rockwell I'm not impressed! This is a distraction from getting to the real issues, we need legislation that protects US as Foundational Black Americans!
As a Black Texan we celebrated every Juneteenth in honor & celebration of our ancestors, family freedom, struggles, n joy. This holiday is a day of action, it energized us to continue the fight for our freedom. I hope this Natl holiday will energize my brothas & sistas to continue the fight to knock down all the barriers that KKK, politicians have put in our way. To found blk joy, love, & respect for each other, stop being the slave, Willie Lynch experience these racist white ppl want you to be. Self Love, Black Love, BLM forever.

Totally agree 100%. Just don't buy from them for 24 hours. See how that Stock Market fail. They know they have to keep us dumb for their agenda to work. That goes for the trumpets too thats getting robbed and trumped.
We are SO easily misled. Lincoln didn't waste his time, though. It made it appear as if he did something good then and now. Listen to all the black people talk about "freedom" from a speech-proclamation that did nothing legally.
The next great storyteller , just what we need, another great storyteller , all talk no action, you can keep holiday and give us what you owe, Reparations, this country owes a blood debt and will be consistently reminded B1
Black Light, my Brotha', YOU are a Black leader. In our own neighborhoods and communities, we as individuals can network and lead! Then collectively we are a POWERHOUSE!

People don't seem to get that slavery ended long before Juneteenth. For a while, those slaves were simply not told. That's supposed to be a more solemn day for that, on top of the slavery.
@@battle-techs - They weren't told because Texas was in a totally different country that Lincoln had no control over. Texas was in the Confederacy. The Civil War did not end until April 1865. Once Texas was under Union control, slaves were freed.
I’m from Texas I had an ancestor who was Hung in the mid-1800s and yes it’s on record💯💯💯of all my mother and father side is from Texas my blood really runs deep here in there is no liberation on Juneteenth just a funky ass holiday that we have to share with everyone a slap in the face where is the anti-lynching Bill Where is all the land that was stolen from my people down here in Texas so no there is no liberation on Juneteenth we have always celebrated Juneteenth and now it’s going to be watered down my other communities Because they’re thinking this is just a holiday Other communities will be able to get tangibles and all we get is a holiday we are sick of celebrating where are the tangible that’s what you all need to be saying
Two non-descendants of chattel slavery in the United States discussing the importance of a day that has no significance to them whatsoever. Unless you count that they are able to benefit from what we keep fighting for.
Off the top Tis The Land of Thee I see we cheering with all smiles As we smile in celebration... For Juneteenth, but underneath We still have no liberation....... No preparation for our reparations An yet it's still up for discussion..... So pump our fists, as they dismiss while no repercussions..... For they're past actions, they smile while laughing, stomp their feet and hands their clapping..... Thinking we should be happy but killings daily but truly this shouldn't be happening... wow... So we buck and praise and hide and shame ..... Knowing damn well whose the hell to blame..... Liberty is a word of thee, not damn well for you and me...... Cause truly I've never been free , but expect me to smile for Juneteenth.... damn...... My people please wake up, please stand up and please face up..... liberation was not given to thee, the constitution wasnt for you or me..... So quit jiving and lying acting like this is ,.....tis the land of thee. Off the top
We have to ask ourselves who this holiday is really for? The enslaved or the slavers. It seems to me that white america wants to celebrate the fact that THEY freed the slaves and not have to own up the fact that they committed one of the worst acts in human history
What I don't understand is why June? It's said that Texas was the last state to be reach, so that would mean other states would have different dates as well. Why not January when the legislation was written, or December when Kentucky and Delaware freed it's slaves? It's odd to me that we'd choose June as the month of celebrating freedom when there were 2 states that held slaves legally until December of 1865.
We should commemorate Juneteenth and use as a way learn about our past. We shouldn’t celebrate it because we don’t need another reason to party. When you celebrate, you loose the true significance of the holiday, it becomes commercialized. I remember Juneteenth celebrations from 1988 when I was sixteen, but I didn’t know about the meaning of the celebration until about 10 years ago when I was 39, because it was just a celebration. There was nothing planned to commemorate the day, so there was no learning about the day taking place. I thought it was a day to celebrate teenagers! There was no conversation about what it was really about, it was just a day to party and have fun! It took me 39 years to start to understand what it was about!
Oh wow, that's messed up that the organizer did not educate you all about Juneteenth, my community, we were taught coming out of the womb. Take the opportunity to educate others on our history. We can't stop!
I Love both you 2 wonderful brothers. I sincerely appreciate you both and other wonderful brothers like you. YAH bless each and everyone of you from the crowns of your holy sa red heads to the soles of your beautiful foots. Amen.
Juneteenth is first and foremost a celebration of the heroic struggle of Afrikan people against Chattel Slavery. It is this spirit of tenacious struggle that we must absorb and emulate in 2021, because as Dr. John Henrik Clarke said: “All history is a current event.” In the spirit of our Esteemed Ancestor Dr. Amos N. Wilson, all commemorations must lead to transformation of our consciousness and of the power relations on this planet. False definitions and narratives hinder this process. We must become more original and creative in defining who we are, what we have done, and can do. Juneteenth must be viewed as part of the Afrikan struggle for liberation and empowerment. That is a worthy celebration.
Were there not 225,000 Africans still enslaved in the United States of America on June 19, 1865? Thus it cannot be celebrated as the end of chatel enslavement of African people in the USA ala Emancipation Day in the English speaking Caribbean. The day that marks that in USA is December 6th, 1865.
@@bAkra60 The first Juneteenth was held June 19, 1866, after the 13th Amendment was passed. Thus, all formerly enslaved Afrikans were legally no longer enslaved in June 1866, unless they were victims of Section 1 of the 13th Amendment. There is a massive struggle to define what Juneteenth is; This is my contribution to that struggle: countynews4you.com/what-juneteenth-is-and-isnt?fbclid=IwAR1qVDICOLn9PZc6bBoVOZE2mB10K1uIXWE5L0btRzEbpwexCuhjoKgHdnA
@@hasanx4637 Freedom: Free from restrictions and limitations placed upon you by others. Emancipation: the transference of property from one owner to another. If they actually freed us, why not just use the word freedom instead of emancipation?
Thanks for the great info. And it is interesting that Dr. Carr terms the Juneteenth celebration a "ritual." Because General Order No. 3 does nothing more than recast(e) Blackfolk as "The Help."
Puleeeeeese, we do not need another holiday, anything to not have to deal with reparations. America is not your home, it was never created for you, and it never will be. Black people, stop settling for the crumbs off massah’s table. A holiday is not going to do it, self determination will. A holiday won’ t do it.

Emancipation: the transference of property from one owner to another.
If they actually freed us, why not just use the word freedom instead of emancipation?

And it is interesting that Dr. Carr terms the Juneteenth celebration a "ritual."
Because General Order No. 3 does nothing more than recast(e) Blackfolk as "The Help."
Puleeeeeese, we do not need another holiday, anything to not have to deal with reparations. America is not your home, it was never created for you, and it never will be. Black people, stop settling for the crumbs off massah’s table. A holiday is not going to do it, self determination will. A holiday won’ t do it.
