is it an american thing, what happened on june 10th?

 

[PaperEnterprise]

Yea but why dont he do something like this at the grammys? Essence awards...its all politics

 

[jeh]

It is to white people though. Anytime a black person express their black pride especially during a "white" situation, is seen as controversial. Meanwhile white pride, which is basically white supremacy is deemed normal and acceptable.

You a bytch fakkit

June 19th 1865

When slaves were "emancipated " ...

But know that centuries of oppression and white supremacist structures have had a hand in keeping Black folks enslaved

slaves were only emancipated in Confederate states. It didn't apply to slave states that did not join the Confederacy

That must be in 1863 that you are talking about...Slaves in confederate states (that weren't already taken over the Union) were freed (Emancipation proclamation)

It was business as usual for states that already took an L to the union... the EP was a war tactic... Nothing more

It wasn't until in 1865 when the 13th amendment came around that slavery was "outlawed"
June 19th is a specific date for Blacks in Texas when some general proclaimed that they were free...

So it is the day that we generally use to commemorate African-American Independence

juneteenth



my neighborhood always has a BIG ass juneteenth festival, it's always so damn crackin



even the rival gangs come deep as hell and kick it

 

[R.E.N. Spells Ren]

powerful statement

imagine if black people across the nation celebrated Juneteenth like we did July 4th

Boston, of all places, does celebrate every year. It should spread across the nation.

Don't mean to be on some downer shyt but we gotta stop being forgiving so easily. Usher's done a lot of low key c00n shyt over the last several years. I'm not ready to give him a pass just because this stunt. I'm still hearing that bullshyt ass song promoting that stripper life to our community.
