I'm an Hispanic male and I am happy that we have this new holiday. It's important that we have a day for our country to celebrate an end to slavery. I also feel that it should include a great big thank you to all of the white people who saw the horrors of slavery and knowing that the black man could not do it for himself, gave up their comfort and their lives to see it end. I am grateful, as we should all be, for the determination they had to make this country free for all.
@@PracticeMakesPaper they are grateful that their ancestors were freed. if it was not for the civil war in which whites fought against whites for the freedom of blacks, african american people would still be slaves today. although this may still be a racist country as many believe, but blacks are doing way much better today compared to other minority groups in other countries around the world.
Because this is just a hussle for you to buy, buy, buy and spend your revenues. Just give it a few more years and watch em come up with another celebration like: "Jesse Jackson Day". LMAO 🤣

Watermelon?? Black eyed peas?? Sausages?? What, no collard greens? Jeez... she had ONE job.. ONE job.. If you don't eat collard greens than you didn't vote for biden...
Starting on June 1st, I think ADOS should fast during the day (up until like 6 pm) and pray or give thanks to whoever your higher power is(or ancestors) or whoever. Then on the day of , you FEAST.
@@HudaKhan17 It really has nothing to do with religion. That’s what drives people away ultimately. It’s more of a tradition type of thing that we could start. You would ultimately be giving thanks to the ancestors. Thanking them and honoring them for their many sacrifices
What or who are ADOS? And why tf would anyone starve themselves like that? We’re not Muslims on that one holiday Ramadan where they starve themselves lmao 😂
If you're white, just give all your money to the first black person you see and say, "I'm sorry, and you deserve this. Because long ago, there were people I never knew that look like me, that did awful things to people you never met, who look like you."
@Sara Mill yep and I am to pay for the worst deeds all the people who looked like me through history did. But I get no credit for the good and charitable things people who looked like me did in history. Nobody cares about those deeds. That would mean someone owes ME money. For some reason no one finds that approach to be of interest lol
I’m telling you, now just make it all about family gatherings with food and don’t actually talk about what happened. I will not remember The Tulsa Massacre by celebrating with good food. This takes away from what took place that dreadful day and I feel it’s a disgrace to the families memories. I wonder if the families were asked how they wanted to honor that community.
This seems such a basic spread. Apple pies?!? I'm being asked to buy tickets to a semi formal Juneteenth banquet. I have a feeling that my hopes are too high.
Why have they remixed Juneteenth a holiday specifically for Foundational Black Americans to now include people with sexual agendas, Africa, and Spanish speaking immigrants……Extremely disrespectful but we see you!!!
When I think of Juneteenth, I think of the soldiers that fought and died to liberate a race. Some focus on the negative of slavery, but where else in the history of the world, has a people fought and successfully liberated a race. Then General Granger delivered that message.
Thats not what they were fighting for. And even after this, many went back into slavery. Dr Claud Anderson has a good history lesson for you, check out his channel here om youtube
@@Exiria Slaves were essential workers for growing and harvesting crops for human and livestock consumption. They fed the nation. In Northern Louisiana, the slaves left and there was a food shortage and starvation with no one to harvest crops. They wanted to avoid starvation in Texas, so they payed them to keep working the same jobs to prevent mass starvation. They didn't recognize it, but as slaves, they were given all the essential skills of the day, to thrive. They were taught to manage crops, manage livestock, make cotton cloth and clothes, cook, blacksmithing, and carpentry skills to build houses and wagons. They were given training in all the technology and essential skills, of the day. They did lack skills in reading, writing, and mathematics, which is essential to run a business. The government should have followed up with a national education program.
@@WalrusesAreTheOne Slavery rescued a starving and dying people. They are still starving in Africa and most would be dead without the world's charity. Slaves were trained to produce and harvest crops, to raise and manage livestock, to make cloth and clothing, carpentry skills to build housing and wagons, blacksmithing, & cooking. All the basic skills to thrive in the 19th century. They did not get training in reading, writing, and math, which are essential skills to run a business.
I don’t understand passing of the plate & dancing. Shouldn’t they be saying a prayer for the lives lost & blood shed, let’s not forget they were free 2 years before & did not know it. Celebrate by giving reparations for the racial divide that disenfranchised the black family for centuries & that destroyed the Black wealth that some did achieve.
Submit your live to Jesus Christ NOW people. All of this is cause by SIN and he will return to eradicate SIN for good. No SIN or Evil will be in the New Kingdom to come. Confess your SINS to him and claim him as our Lord and Savior, repent daily and you will be been Saved from Judgement and Reign with Jesus and Almighty Jehovah in Peace, Happiness and fellowship FOREVER. Please spread the good news 🙏❤
I hate this. I wish we would stop going on these people shows. Or, if we do go qe go more authentically and actually display the Juneteeth flag instead of the pan-African colors. Africa didn't do anything to help us for hundreds of years as we built this country. The rbg flag doesnt belong in a junteenth celebration all front and center the way it is displayed here. It's as if this segment was done to entertain Europeans. I hate that. Ijs. They're commidifying our celebration to mak themselves $$ and thats why each year since they started involving themselves with Juneteenth, it has been qatered down and changed to a rally to vote blue no matter who. Shame on us for falling for the okie doke over and over again.
Its my reminder of my victimhood! Its a reminder that i can never be more than my ethnicity! It's a day of keeping racism alive! Because if racism ever died a whole lot of people would be out of work!
@@punnymoney3692 how does it promote victim hood. It is a truth that should fuel you to be the best “free” American you can be. Also if we don’t talk about slavery we may forget and if we forget it may repeat it self.

Freedom to do good or freedom to do evil? What do freedom have to do with graffiti and the vandalism that they are accustomed to every time they celebrate that date? People are closing the places where they work in their businesses, not to celebrate but because they know they are in danger because of the way they are used to celebrating that date in the streets.
I’m going to observe Juneteenth by breaking the law, be a nuisance, disrespect everyone, take something from a dollar store and have a funky smell about me.
God, you really need to get out of your small town and meet people. Touch some grass. I find it funny (but not surprising in the slightest) that those with the least experience with other cultures and a lack of curiosity, intelligence, and openness make the most ignorant assumptions - especially groups of people they've never interacted with in their entire lives. The only kind of exposure they get is through extremely biased and uneducated media. What a pathetic, saddening way to live one's life.
