The Truth About Juneteenth | Black History Explainer (Unique Coloring)

[@mrgmurphy2000]

Key Phrase in the video... Juneteenth is not a day of celebration but of REMEMBERANCE... This was a very sad and difficult time in our history. Many of the institutions and underlying concepts the formed the foundation of slavery are still in place, to this day. This should be a day of solemn reflection, planning and intelligent discourse on how to help our people remove their mental chains and make real progress in this nation that our ancestors helped build!! 🙏🙏 We dont need another reason to have a PARTY! 🤬🤬

[@dglorious1269]

You are so right! 🎯 It's why I can't bring myself around to attend any of those "celebrations". I thought about attending, but it was just a fleeting thought because something in my soul just didn't feel right about it. Celebrating what I asked myself. The so called "freeing" of enslaved human beings that should have been free just like anybody else on this God made planet?! That was the plan. And then there's the commercialization of it all just like 'Christmas', and Opal Lee claiming that it's 'not a Black thing, it's for everyone'. Nah, I don't agree with that at all. 😚'

[@robertpundsack1363]

Point is, they were free. Forget about the countless white dead. Ungrateful. Blacks do not have clean hands. Ask why American blacks ignore truth in slavery. It was legal in the world. Yes prior white slavers, Africans. Enslaved Africans . Once found out could make money from slavery. Enslaved more Africans. Sooooo will greedy black sue Africa. Hypocrtes

Except it's not like an uphill or downhill trajectory... The first black governor came from this era ... Ocoee... Tulsa...

Right after the emancipation proclamation was pretty good... So everybody thought...

[@charlesyoung7436]

There are two errors in the first four minutes of this video. 1)General Lee's surrender in April, 1865 did not end the Civil War or the Confederacy. 2)The Juneteenth proclamation ended slavery in Texas, which was the last Confederate state to be occupied. At that point, the Emancipation Proclamation (an early executive order) became moot, because there were no more states "in rebellion" that could trigger it again. Slavery continued to exist in the US after Juneteenth in two states and one territory. This fact is what caused the anti-slavery Republicans in Congress to pass the 13th Amendment to the US Constitution to legally complete the abolition process. The film "Lincoln" depicts what happened quite well. It took until early December, 1865 for the necessary three-fourths of the states to ratify the new amendment (Georgia was the state to put it over), but the ratification was not certified until December 18, 1865. There had been four slave states that did not join the Confederacy, Maryland and Missouri abolished slavery in 1864. Kentucky and Delaware did not abolish slavery before the 13th Amendment was certified. This left only the Indian Territory (now part of Oklahoma) as a place where slavery existed until early 1866. Some of the tribes there held slaves and actually fought on the Confederate side, but they were also considered as sovereign nations. Apparently it took a while to let them know that the Thirteenth Amendment applied to all US states and territories. I believe Juneteenth is an important historic event, and worthy of being a holiday. Its first anniversary occurred after full emancipation had been achieved, and is thus the best date to celebrate it. But watch "Lincoln" as well.

[@thelmamundy7392]

Grateful for another account of Juneteenth. As a West Indian the history of slavery is very important to me and even more so as a teacher living in Florida where the current governor has restricted us to teach our history. We will continue to find ways to teach and learn about our past. Blessings.

[@audreywitko1445]

Thank you for sharing this information here! As an almost 70 year old white woman I was never exposed to Juneteenth until the past decade, and was just told that it represented the slaves in Texas being the last to be notified 3 years following the Emancipation Proclamation, which is bad enough. I am sorry that even more cruelty was inflicted as shown in this very educational video. We have so much ancestral negativity to overcome. Hate is not inherent in humans. God does not create Hate. Hate is handed down. We must all work to be the living spiritual sparks of the Creator. Only Love can conquer Hate. Hate comes solely from Fear. We need to join together to educate each other to break this cycle of Fear & Hate. Jesus taught that the most important thing we can do in the eyes of God is to Love one another. Let us be the Light.

Happy Juneteenth everyone As a retired history teacher, I took great pride in constructing and offering my version of US History during February's Black History Month. I set aside the text and conducted daily lectures from the History books and journals authored by black historians. Factual. I was willing to face termination by circumventing school district curriculum in order to tell the true story of black history articulated by black historians. Such as comparing the Black Panthers of yesteryear to today's movie line and not only the blood line of blacks but the great yet hidden amazing accomplishments of blacks. I brought all my books into my classroom for the students to check out as each was given an assignment to read and write a summary of the book they read due before March 1. The exam was constructed from my lectures. All students were offered note-taking lessons as well and were permitted to use their notes during the exam. The surprise by most of the students were accompanied by their joy of finally learning Factual historical events actors by black historians and ancestors of the race.

Thank you so very much for your commentary and your wonderful historical summery. As an African-American whose lineage goes back to Texas. My mother was born in state of Texas in my family is from Texas. It is quite liberating and at the very same time bittersweet that the old Confederacy continued its tyranny against our people, even though the emancipation proclamation had been implemented even after Lincoln 's Death . The Confederacy though defeated continued its tyranny and and terror upon black people creating indentured servitude, wage slavery, and continued captivity towards us. To rebuild the damaged economy and intwrtructure update antebellum South thoughout reconstruction and Jim Crow . Juneteenth symbolizes spirit and tenacity of our ancestors in their dream to rebuild new lives for themselves and for future generations of African-Americans.

Gee what some blacks ignore is they were free. By the blood of countless union dead. Ungrateful. As well ignore there were free blacks throughout America history I'm the North.

That the Irish were discriminated , the Germans Chines Japanese, but note how some blacks need narrow it only to poor me I'm black. When in truth, any American who puts self worth , effert in life. Makes good decisions has privilages over those who do not. White people were hung when helping blacks. You won't teach truth. Hypocrites. Wage slavery was even when the pilgrims landed dah. Oh wait, some black don't study white history. Hypocrites

What do you mean by re building the south?? When the great migration happened in the 1960s, the northern cities eventually got ruined. People came to the northern states and ruined cities. That's not having any respect for having anything. That is rotten of people coming up north and doing this to things, Detroit, Chicago, Baltimore, the majority is a ghetto. People traveled north to work, not live on welfare and not having 6 kids per Family. Obviously people left the cities down there horrible. People don't even know how to live, not like animals. It was very nice until the 60s what a shame.white immigrants were indentured servants too, Ellis Island was full of them. People wanted to build a new life?? What on welfare?? There are so many ghettos in Michigan, Maryland, NY. It's sad. Why couldn't people stay down there and build a new life?? It was beautiful and safe. Not anymore. I didn't have my kids in public schools. There was too much fighting after segregation was lifted. So every Democrat city is pretty much in shambles.

I view all of us, Black people as one people, because we all arrived at this wilderness of North and South America, as well as the Caribbean Islands at the bottom of the slave ships in which we were sold and captured from the countries of Western Africa. I am not interested in celebrating or acknowledging this JUNETEENTH holiday due to its distorted, condescending, and contradictions as well as falsehoods in its history! I prefer to celebrate January 1st, 1804 which is the year that my powerful and proud people got their true independence by conquering White supremacy and slaughtering our oppressors! That history is more important to me than anything! Toussaint Louverture and Jean-Jacques Dessalines are my heroes. Haiti is suffering economically today as a result of my ancestors overcoming the brutal and evil scourge of slavery!

[@ceciliavillalobos5044]

I just feel that with true knowledge taught and understood it would bring change and these days it seems change for the better is threatening some Americans who want it to be said that they are being abused or forgotten that they are losing their standing. The change that education of truth can make people use common sence or gain humanity morals and such. Just like them coming out saying you will not replace us. Well the change that's dangerous is the country has turned away from truth and facts because they themselves feel that the truth makes them look bad but if they could use their brain they would see it can be referenced as a mistake corrected and it can make us better to remember the bad instead of Making it less tragic. So change is dangerous because there are some willing to fight instead of growing from history. It is history and it's made bad when it's hidden or lied about. Obama as president was a proud day but instead of bring us together in growth of a nation they feel its a threat on their superior beliefs. Dumbing us down to control us is what is in the works of those fighting against change and growth.

This was very informative and unlike a lot on KZbin, accurate.

The EP only applied to southern states that were in rebellion. There were four that were not. Kentucky, Maryland, WV and Delaware. Although some of such states ended chattel slavery on their own after the EP, Delaware was forced to end slavery by Amendment 13 being properly ratified on December 6, 1865.

Thank You!

As a 59 year old Black Man. Never new about this until recently. Black Americans are still not free today. Or together as a race, enough to be educated about their own people.🤎❤️🙏🙏

[@l.b.1974]

"Black Americans are still not free today" NONSENSE. You might want to start living rather than wallowing in the victim mentality that the left is obsessed with. "their own people". Sigh do you even hear yourself. We are ALL people of the human race. Obsessing about skin color is incredibly shallow.

In which ways are Black people not free today?
