fukk a July fourth...this juneteenth my brothas.

Today is for my MIDDLE PASSAGE BREHS....my family is FIFTH GENERATION AMERICAN (at least....we have tracked to a photo of slave or daughter OF slave)...and my MIDDLE PASSAGE brothas...never forget...

We built America.

And today we celebrate the independence and emancipation that allowed us to begin to enjoy the fruits of our labor. :wow:

If your family been here since the beginning :salute:

Happy Juneteenth. A little bittersweet right now.
yeah, theres a lot of work to be done

Juneteenth wasn't a finish line

it wasn't even a starting line

if we are in a 'race', our feet were chained to the finish line while everyone else was running laps...then they cut the chain, but gave us one shoe...then they gave us both shoes, and we believed we were on the same playing field...not realizing that we're running in sandles and they have golden cleats.

theres work to be done but its proven we can do it

When I wasn't living in ATL for a while and was up north, I didn't realize they celebrate Juneteenth up there

I've never seen a celebration in ATL for it
we know about it, but lets just say i feel compelled to talk about it so much for a reason

seattle? :wow: i doubt its even a blurb on the news

Happy Juneteenth to the all of the brothers and sisters.

Let's honor those who suffered horribly and lost their lives so that we could enjoy the fruits of our labor. They won't and never will be forgotten.
