@Dawn Leigh You do know it’s just a coincidence, right? They aren’t both supposed to fall on the same day intentionally. Juneteenth falls on every June 19th. Fathers Day is every 3rd Sunday of June. Coincidentally, June 19th is that Sunday this year.
Juneteenth is a American holiday and should be celebrated by all American but if the hatred in your prevents you from celebrating end of slavery that fine too I know your ancestors and Satan are proud of you
You are correct. Juneteenth is celebrating the end of slavery...(on paper anyway) it was only one group of people who were enslaved as a mass in America right? So why would we celebrate other groups, if Juneteenth is the date ww choose to acknowledge the ending of enslaving a spe ific group of people?? Agreed. July 4th is for everyone. Even though we were still enslaved for the first couple of celebrations
Celebrating Columbus Day would be like celebrating Hitler Day if the Germans won WW2. Celebrating a genocidal monster is not cool even if it was the start of USA. 4th of July aka Independence Day was not a day of freedom for slaves in the south. June 19th was the day union soldiers marched into Galveston TX to let slaves know they were free since slaveholders kept this from them for all that time. If that’s not a day worth celebrating I’m not sure what is.
ABSOLUTELY atrocious! JUNETEENTH has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with African slaves. It's the government and MY nation, INDIANS...period! Do your research ppl!!! Peace
I agree with you ! I went to a Juneteenth fest in support and they played reggae music and even shouted out Hispanic and West Indians it was disrespectful! Y’all need to stand up !
Thank God for the emancipation proclamation and the end for the scourge of slavery. Now, for the FORGOTTEN tens of thousands of white soldiers from the north that sacrificed their life to force the end of slavery. These men are never mentioned anywhere in black history month or Juneteenth. Without the sacrifice of their lives, slavery would have continued for another 40 years. Remembering the human being that gave his life is as important as the white families that put their life in harms way operating the underground railroad. There was more to this story than just grandma Moses. Giving acknowledgment or honoring them is part of black history. If these young men lives meant nothing to the black community, then why did they bother. Remembering the people that gave their life for slavery emancipation in no way lessen the black struggle in America.
Well-written, George Kelley: Therein lies the ironic sequence of slavery saviors sending syllabus of subterfuge to society, sacrificing and getting scolded. Pigmented pedagogs do not acknowledge all of the entities who contributed to a community that would have still been oppressed if it were not for the real "forgotten" heroes.
Just hast have to make ish about y’all. Can’t stand black joy!!! Just scares you to death!!! Let us celebrate us in what we’ve been through. I am an ally of the lgbtq community, I advocate because that’s what I believe in. I don’t need recognition. Let them build up their community. Always trying to tell us how to protest and celebrate.
Imagine making profit off of skin color under the words "oh we care about you, we celebrate you" while they make billions off of your skin color. But no mention of those who also helped the slaves in the past get free.
Eventually, Juneteenth will be mostly about sales on various types of merchandise. Other than banks and government offices, most folks will still have to work.
@@pillowgurls6194 Your not understanding the obvious point, well maybe it isn't so obvious to you perhaps. 4th of July isn't about race, just shows that you either aren't an American at all or don't know what your talking about. Here's the definition of 4th of July: Also called Independence Day, the Fourth (4th) of July is a public holiday in the United States of America that commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, which declared the original colonies to be free from British rule.
@@pillowgurls6194 And just for the record most of family isn't even from America, infact I'm not white either. But hey assume things as much as you desire.

The things that anger white ppl the most is Black joy, love, happiness, success, and recognition. We don't have to do anything physical to white ppl to anger or hurt them, all we have to do is live our true selves, love our families, take care of our communities.
Don’t know how firearm’s got confused with firework’s. But, apparently many Juneteenth revelers of festivity, and freedom prefer 9mm aimed towards the same people rejoicing, & participating in the same jubilee……Go figure, & to each their own.
@UCHJDWX5aAVhmulgxzeXflLg Yeah, I will, as much as I would when sending my kids to school in e.g. white Texas to be likely massacred by some white psychos, often 'Christians'✌
Many of us deeply melanated people DID NOT have slave ancestry even though our ancestors lived in the South during and even before the Civil War. How many people know that NOT ALL people of color (aka. "African" Americans, called "Negroes" or "coloreds") at that time in the South were slaves? How many people of color have even done a family genealogy search by records to know who their ancestors were during and even before the Civil War that may have even been landowners themselves? There ARE records. Start with the US Census Bureau.
Juneteenth is just a celebration for black americans. why am i seeing all these non-AA’s celebrate Juneteente? what are y’all exactly celebrating? because if your not african american and you’re celebrating Juneteenth there’s really nothing for you to celebrate 🤦🏿♀️

@@inhimwelive3951 paying tribute to our ancestors who survived slavery is not racism or divisive. Sundown towns. Are devisive. Redlining is devisive. For me.

@Dawn Leigh juneteenth was celebrated waaaaaaaay before they decided to put fathers day on the same day. I'm sure people can celebrate both if they want to..it's okay. It is possible.
Juneteenth (short for “June Nineteenth”) marks the day when federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas in 1865 to take control of the state and ensure that all enslaved people be freed. Confederate General Robert E. Lee had surrendered at Appomattox Court House two months earlier in Virginia, but slavery had remained relatively unaffected in Texas-until U.S. General Gordon Granger stood on Texas soil and read General Orders No. 3: “The people of Texas are informed that, in accordance with a proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free!” The 13th amendment to the Constitution had been ratified a year earlier in the Senate but now it was up to House for final passage. When the final vote was held on January 31, 1865 in the House of Representatives, there were enough "Aye's" to pass. ALL BUT 4 DEMOCRATS OPPOSED yet guess which party blacks keep voting for?
So, this is the day we celebrate the 10s of thousands of white men who gave their lives in the civil war fighting to free the slaves held by Southern Democrat slave owners.
This legendary dude's right, we really gotta be teaching true history to the children. Colonialism and slavery cannot ever happen again, and visibility and education is super duper key. And gun violence, why is that still happening? Guns are for hunting not hurting people.
Dear Doyle Hargraves 2007: Now this *is* funny, the way they have tied all these together to give them a month to jostle over this: Gaiety, Fatherly, and Slavery. The masters back then could make anything happen!
This celebration couldn't come at a better time because it seems that half of America wants to turn the clock back on all things civil rights, and all things just civil. Shame. Even going back to segregation shouldn't be dismissed; totally embarrassed as a genXer. So, I hope African Americans won't mind having me as a neighbor sometime in the future with maybe Asian Indians. Probably Whites and Latinos in the other section is how it'll work. Warning to Black Ams: I dine on lots of sushi and sashimi. And mochi on holidays. (bump)
Dear Ridge Runner: Classic comment. I like the way you styled it, along with the irony of reality: Difficult for the purpose of the struggling to benefit not one cent.
I give more weight to the soldiers that fought and died for their freedom over the recipients of that freedom. Juneteenth should celebrate the soldiers sacrifice as well as black freedom. A holiday has to be inclusive for all Americans to be valued. Culmination means "the highest or climactic point of something, especially as attained after a long time". The Juneteenth Emancipation Notice, is that culmination of the civil war. I call Juneteenth "Civil War Day". The other issue, even though slaves were now free, they were not U.S. citizens, but illegal aliens. Only their children born after July 9, 1968, after 14th Amendment was ratified, were automatically U.S. citizens. Former slaves could have become U.S. citizens if they became naturalized citizens, but they did not go through any process to become U.S. citizens, so their status remained as illegal aliens and could not vote. I believe blacks that became soldiers (like the Buffalo Soldiers) were naturalized U.S. citizens.
Agree that the people who fought for it should be recognized, but The pathway to become citizens at that time involve some pretty tricky questions if you look at the history of it. They were written to purposely discourage and keep black Americans from becoming citizens. Look at some of the sample test questions from then - don’t take my word for it.
What I don’t like is the lack of support for Father’s Day. It’s like it just disappeared. Kind of like 80% of the fathers in a certian cultural demographic.
Omg. That's so true. The white population is dying off. And will be the minority soon. I see how fathers disappearing could be an issue. I'm not sure where you see lack of support for fathers. Maybe we don't need a day to celebrate Father's. But if u have to wait. Until June to celebrate yours. I'm not knocking you. Live your best life.
Happy Nigteenth to all you absent black baby daddies running from child support.
It's Fathers day.
The irony.
@Dawn Leigh You do know it’s just a coincidence, right? They aren’t both supposed to fall on the same day intentionally.

Yes!
I was made aware early in life of this days historical significance, since I was born in Waco, Texas on June 19th, 1969. ;-)
It is for one race not for all races. Columbus Day and 4th of July is for all races of all immigrants not just one race.
