#Juneteenth #Holiday #Celebrations
My former Boss(one of the best I ever had) Rhonda Walker a Librarian in Broward Counry Florida founded the Juneteenth Blues and Sweet Potato Celebration with song and dance plus poetry, gospel, jazz and history years ago. .R.I.P. Rhonda. The festival just celebrated it's 22nd year🎉 WOW🎉
I do not support segregation we are all equal
Segregation?? Thats cool that you do not support that but I am not sure what that has to do with this..
We're literally celebrating a holiday
They need to stop trying to capitalize on black people.
On Juneteenth we should all Thank The West for eliminating Slavery.
Though it was a great milestone in human history, there is still work to do.
There is Still Slavery n Asia and Africa.
We should encourage others to follow the lead of the west and eliminate slavery.
We should also eliminate serfdom. Especially with the push of the Woke Oligarchy to force everyone into serfdom.
You can go right now to Haiti and buy a 14-year-old girl from her mother for 12 goats or 80 chickens.
2023 Happy 157th Juneteenth Liberation Day Holiday Weekend, and Happy Father's Day Too.
What a ridiculous clip! A black woman saying she is just learning about the holiday. A (nameless) critique about mainstream brands attempting to recognize the holiday and mainstream it.
A comment on how companies need to learn how to "strike the balance".
The only thing missing is the Indeed ads for "diversity coordinators" for companies seeking to find answers to all these difficult questions! 😕
When you don't want to address real issues create a National Holiday!
Real issue being ? What ?
I've read up on the history of Juneteenth. It's an amazing journey, long and arduous. I support Juneteenth!
Not surprised at lack of history knowledge.
LAcK oF hIstRoy kNowLedgE why do you choose to be bothered by everything including what others are doing that does not involve you?
Why do they also involved Africa we are not Africans nor are we Immigrants. This is Foundational Black Americans homeland.
Over 50% in NYC and just under 40% nationally Black pregnancies terminated.
Just think 99% don't even know their heritage from Africa.
My heritage isn't from Africa. So this crap doesn't mean anything to me.
I'm just upset with the Post office being closed today.
@@sempergumby8734 Yep. The post office. But also bus service and state liquor stores here in Utah.
and we don’t care😂
Thats a made up stat and something you just assumed but cool if so...what does that have to do with Juneteenth??? Its a celebration of emancipation it has nothing to do with "knowing African heritage" and yes...thats what slavery does to people..
There was a mass shooting at a Juneteenth event in Washington DC.
Don';t hold your breath on hearing about it on the news!
What a bunch of B S
Just like July 4th is BS racist
a holiday that celebrates something real and has been around since 1866 is a "bunch of BS!"
@@grammaticalchainsaw7318
Yes it is
This is no holiday. This is a joke! Juneteenth... 😂
Suddenly Juneteenth which has been going on since 1866 just don't exist? Got it.
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.
Have you been to a Juneteenth or a odune festival I would love to invite you to one
You owe me gas money!
Ask putin !
@@feartheghostinme675 Yes its everyone's fault but Biden and his voters.
@@feartheghostinme675 Ask da worthless democrat administration that put restrictions on all the entire system.
*Now go drool.
@@feartheghostinme675
I didnt realize Putin was President of the US? Are you saying Biden is that weak?
@@mobilusinmobili8321 It might as well be Putin we sure don't have competent leadership in Washington DC!
Satanás tiene bastante trabajo para manos y mentes ociosas, es mejor mantenerse en algo productivo.
Hay muchas cosas buenas para invertir el tiempo en ello y no para invertirlo en ociosidades mentales.
Empujándose unos a otros para hacer mal al prójimo es uno de los frutos de la ociosidad.
ended in violence. a fedluhruh holiday
It's nice to have fun, but there's still 40 million slaves worldwide, many in the U.S. A quick web search will show. Maybe we should put our energy into fixing that.
but this holiday isn’t about them
@@sveoo6448 Exactly. We're celebrating freedom from slavery regarding only one group-- but not even raising awareness there's still tens of millions not free. In fact, the holiday makes people think slavery no longer exists at all. Like most everything else on mainstream news, they don't tell you the whole story. Not even close.
That sucks for them. Has nothing to do with these particular people AT ALL. Did you also ever stop to think about the fact that a considerable amount of those de-facto slaves also happen to be black as well? Particularly in the United States where the 13th Amendment's loop hole has been weaponized since the reconstruction to place black people especially prisoners into a position of modern de-facto slavery which also includes them in your "40-million" number. You do not care about any of those people though, and do nothing to quell modern slavery nor do you know anything about it. You just bring it up to spite ADOS. 😂
@@sterlingsubswait "slavery no longer exists at all" but there are also 40 million people enslaved? That makes no sense buddy
@@sterlingsubsand fyi none of this has to do with "mAinStReaM nEws" either...do you think we get our thoughts, opinions, history, and culture from the NEWS? Maybe you do and thats nice and all, but this has zero to do with that as well... emancipation days are also celebrated by other nations too. Shall we stop celebrating Independence Day because other geopolitical conflicts and revolutions have not been settled yet? No.
Just another appeasement. Sorry.
The Juneteenth colors are blue white red
We are American not African drop the Pan African colors
black American do not have no history of doing any African customs are culture we got are own customs and culture
Thats incredibly false, and while the Juneteenth colors are blue white and red, black Americans are apart of the African diaspora and white black and yellow are on their own flag as well.
@@grammaticalchainsaw7318 🤣 your so funny silly Pan African
Every holiday either marther Luther King Day Black History Month and now this what a joke
Well said.
