Will this holiday help end the narrative that peeps were stolen from africa? Peeps were sold. They were already slaves and then were sold. Now, you might get mad at this, but really think on it. Had they not been sold and brought to america, those blood lines would have ended... why would they have ended? Because slaves were already captured by warring tribes. In those tribes no one would have been allowed to sleep with each other. The captured women would have only been allowed to sleep with the tribe that captured them, not with the men(husbands) they were captured with. Which in turn would have completely destroyed their blood line. By being sold and sent to america their bloodline had a new chance to exist... no tribe would have allowed slaves to have babies from the men they captured. Therefore the only way American slaves could have a current genealogy is by coming to america. Being bought and brought to america literally saved your bloodlines that would have been smothered out by the tribes that enslaved your families to begin with..

Great video of Juneeteenth.

[@keepcalm1224]

The ending of slavery ON PAPER is what Juneteenth is about and yes, while some were actually freed, many weren't, especially in the South. Anyone who has studied the real history of this country knows that many slaves weren't even told about the Emancipation Proclamation, much less freed from it. There were still people in slavery well into the 1900's. Some of the last recorded slaves in this country were found in Lousiana. There were 20 of them at a place called Waterford Plantation in St Charles Parish. They were there into the early 1960's. The last recorded slave was a 14 year old girl named Mae Louise Walls Miller. She did not get her freedom until 1963. So for those who continue to say that slavery was just this thing that happened a long time ago that people should just move past and forget about, NO slavery was an institution that started before the US was a country and lasted 100 years AFTER the Civil war. Slavery didn't end on a paper. It ended when the LAST slave was truly free. Which was less than 70 years ago. THATS when slavery ended.

And if you don't have to pay for your farms and things to be kept properly running. You can keep that industry going no problem. The war on woke is gonna keep people stupid; have a great day. P.S. You act like slavery started in the 1800s when you talk about immigration. Trans Atlantic Slavery has been around since hundreds of years before the beginning of this country near the end of the thirteenth century, the fourteen twenties. It was only after they became free, and you had to take care of your own fields. that's when they became lazy expletives, and thugs. And since that happened in 1865, the grudge against black america has always been @ full steam like a locomotive. And now that i've said what I said... I don't care what you believe or what you don't believe it's been said.

But who made you slaves? Do you hate your African ancestors? I highly doubt so.

[@ravellxivrobinson4979]

@@ilovebirds3157 It's easy to try to justify it when you're conflicted.

Yet, my employer and so many other employers, still have us working today. We even work on mlk day. And i work with many african Americans 🤷‍♂️

There is nothing SPECIAL OF THIS DAY

[@SeniorMoostacho]

July 4th is the ONLY Holiday needed for ALL to Celebrate Freedom for ALL in the USA!! I imagine in the very near future it will be Junteenth week and they will create an African flag for the event and raise it above the American flag. Give em an inch......

[@haveaday1812]

They started the June Teeth celebration off with a real bang here in San Diego. Buy shooting each other at a concert lol.

[@jennifercuffy801]

Fun FACT. Young black males are being shot and killed by other black males, NOT white people.

[@sdfasdfadfasdfadfasd]

We're up to what? 40 shooting casualties .... In St Louis, Chicago and Detroit. But keep drinking the Daily Show Kool aid.

Or as Juneteenth is taught in the south: 😉

[@silencemeviolateme6076]

Chicago and Newark had to be forced by the supreme court to allow blacks to vote.

[@tedjones-ho2zk]

Juneteenth is all well and good, but the Black race also has Black History Month. How about celebrate the veterans for a month, or fire fighters and police for a month. These people put their lives on the line everyday and get no respect, but we know how Juneteenth was celeabrated in illinois, by gun fire. One killed and over 20 injured.

[@tedjones-ho2zk]

I guess since they can't celebrate Father's day they celebrate Juneteenth.

[@oppressedspeakeroftruth6558]

Juneteenth! 🤣 pure comedy. Any re-enactments of how their freedom came to be?
