      The 13 colonies had the least amount of slavery compared to the rest of the America's under Spanish rule.

      Chinese value family, hard work and education, so they succeed in America. People who graduate, get a job and raise their kids to do the same are successful in this country. Strange how that works right?

      @priceshollylopez3313 Why is it you're finding it so hard for Black people to have their moment, without you reminding us of other people's journeys? Juneteenth is about Black people's freedom. You can't be a part of everything.
