Hey amber, did you know that my grandmother's birthday is on June 19th? Well now you do! Alice k Wilson of St Louis Missouri will turn 103 and counting!
Happy Juneteeth! June is the best month. :)
@@terryaustin2949 Happy Birthday to your Granny!!! The history she has seen. Have an extra slice of cake, you've more than earned it.
Happy Juneteenth, everyone.

A Solemn and Joyous Juneteenth to all!
✌🏼🖖🏿🖖🏾✌🏽
Seems we still struggle to be completely free, but we will stay the course and bring everyone with us.
Happy Father's Day, for those we hold in our arms and those we hold in our hearts.
My 8 year old made a point of saying (if front of a bunch of other white people), "Oh, this is the holiday that should have been a holiday a hundred years ago!". Ha!
Bless your young one! 🥰
👏👏👏❤❤❤
From the mouth of babes. Smart Kiddo.

You have a very smart son.
This line is everything and I hope more Caucasian people learn this lesson:
*"Try to enjoy something Without Making It All About YOU!"*
Exactly!!
Not possible... the only reason why it SUDDENLY became a federal holiday is to avoid reparations... trust me. Harriet Tubman on the dollar bill and a Haitian woman elected that's afraid to even mention reparations. In other words celebrate and shut up talking about receiving money.
She's the one who's obsessed with white people. Hate is an obsession by definition, and that Harriet Tubman argument is so illogical it can only come from hate.
Or claiming and renaming it!
@@tomboy5079 ...speak more truths...
The "How did we get here" videos should be shown in every school!!!
100% agree. I'm quite salty that I had to wait 46 years to learn my country's history from a comedian instead of learning it in the school system I was forced to attend for 12 years.
@@rowynnecrowley1689 me too!! I feel the same!
@@rowynnecrowley1689 ol Ron, in Florida, probably has already enacted a "don't say Amber" law!
Oh, that would be amazing. Great idea!
@KFC ManI see you're back trolling 🤡
I am a Texan and we have been celebrating this all my life. This was not new to us here in Central Texas. However none of my friends in other states knew what it was.
I'm from Detroit and we celebrated it here all my life
I'm glad to see Juneteenth getting national recognition, it's something Texas will never forget.
Same! I was raised in Galveston, and I, a Latina, grew up celebrating Juneteenth every year with parades, food, and performances. I had no idea it wasn't celebrated everywhere until I went to college.
Galeveston is ground zero for Juneteenth. The reason it wasn't celebrated everywhere is because a lot of other places had their own celebrations centered around their own hometown's emancipation day. Places like Detroit picked up Juneteenth because their state didn't have an emancipation day. There was a big argument over whether Juneteenth or Dec. 6th should be the national holiday. The wrong day won. @@alanacholmes
"You wanna promote something, promote my brother!" ok, not gonna lie, laughed the most at this part.
My brothers keeper
I love her "how did we get here"... it's "Schoolhouse Rock" for a new generation!! It should be required ed in schools!
I make my kids watch her!
Saturday morning memories.
Should be..but according to America's dumbest parents THAT'S teaching CRT. 🙄🤣🤣🤣😳😳😳 Ted Cruz
How true is that statement!! Congrats!!
yeah
Thank you, Amber, for once again teaching me more in 6 minutes than I learned in 12 years of public school.
What a true statement and honestly someone should definitely recognize the caliber of it besides me but I’m sure they won’t, but let’s continue to get educated and educate! Thank you Rowynne and thank you Amber!
"Learning" is just imagining things you want to be true and then just believing it.
@@lutherwright6413 No, you're not the only one who appreciates Rowynne's comment and knows it's important and valuable. Rowynne and the rest of us here (trolls excluded of course) do love Amber and do know her history lessons aren't just entertainment; they're a vital public service.
@@daftwod did u just learn that?
@@kushkingzoriginal Trying to figure out if you knew it was facetious.
Strangely enough, June 19th is Labour Day in my country and it’s also the first country to celebrate Emancipation Day 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
Interestingly enough, June 19th is also Father's Day in the United States every few years.
Give the writer that wrote the “ Stacey Adams” joke a raise!!! LOL!!!
It was Michael Harriot who wrote it, apparently.
Agreed!
Freeing people who should be free is something nobody should take credit for
Did you find out it was the Republicans that forced the democrats to give up their slaves?
Yeah who cares if hundreds of thousands of people died to free slaves right?
When the people that should have been free weren't free, it's something to be proud of even if it took a way too long and a war.
My employer decided to make Juneteenth one of their paid holidays this year!
Kentucky didn't free their slaves until December 1865 and the ratification of the 13th Amendment. They held out another six months past Juneteenth.
How is this produktive "Joshua"?
Do you feel proud to makke this announcement? Yes, we know this Nation is wikked
Being a Kentucky Native you are correct sir! @lucid dreams don’t get upset with the facts inform others🤷🏾♀️
So sad we'll have to live without new episodes for a little bit! Come back soon, we love you! 💕🥰
I saw the thumbnail and was like, "Labor Day?" I watched the episode and was like, "she right."
I did like that joke, but the correct day for the new "Labor Day" is Dec. 6. Her version of history is not correct.
4:00 THE STACY ADAMS SHOUTOUT!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🥲
So.. no cobbler, then?
* kicks wooden shoe and pouts *
So sad that history class will never go over this. Thanks for educating us!
The truly sad thing about that is that I learnt this in my history class, in Sweden.
No one cares
Considering how full of historical inaccuracies this is, it is truly sad that you learned this is Sweden. They need to do better there.@@Bookwright
"The after party for slavery". I am gasping for air, perfect line
@KFC Man stop being ignorant, bot!
Is everyone else just watching this to cringe?
I thought she was going to pull out a glass of Kool-Aid. What flavor you ask? Red! Some of that “House Party” Kool-aid!! 😁😋
I would have put money on grape soda.
I thought she was gonna be drinking MD 2020, Deuce Juice, or Alize.😂😂😂😂
Another home run! I learned something and laughed at the same time. Thanks Amber, you’re fantastic!
Learn another thing. The Juneteenth flag is Red White and Blue!
You're welcome
What did you learn other than that Amber doesn't know history?
“Walmart if you wanna promote something promote my brother” Juneteenth facts 😆
Firstly, Amber Ruffin is adorable. Secondly, this old white woman learns so much stuff I never knew from these “how did we get here” segments. I thought I was relatively well informed. I was not
I'm glad to read your comment. It makes me hopeful that maybe more ppl will be open to learning, understanding and embracing forgotten, or overlooked parts of America's history. Salute to willingness to listen, without judgment or condemnation.🤗
The 13th Amendment is not forgotten or overlooked by history classes. This is not obscure. That there wasn't a national holiday for the end of slavery was embarrassing, but it's almost more embarrassing that we put it on the wrong day and that every few years it has to share a date with Father's Day. @@tracyburris612
Preach Sister....PRAY for our CHILDREN. Amen!
It was celebrated in Texas is what I'm thinking because I live in NY, and we've never celebrated Juneteenth until recently. My South & North Carolina relatives never celebrated it, Never heard of Juneteenth until a.few.years ago.
South and North Carolina had their own Emancipation day celebrations that I'm sure like the ones that went on in my state on May 20th are being over shadowed by a holiday on the wrong day being promoted by people like Amber that don't know their history.
I love that Amber mentioned the 14th amendment. It’s my favorite and objectively the most underrated amendment.
So my Great Grandfather, who lost an arm, and his brother who lost a leg fighting with the 7th Iowa Infantry at the Battle of Pea Ridge had nothing to do with it?
FANTASTIC!
I knew some, I learned some.
😁
Thank you, Ms. Ruffin!
Happy Juneteenth!
💚🖤❤
Juneteenth colors are Red White and Blue!
I will ever be convinced that the haters are lying to themselves
How could anyone not enjoy this person and this show
Hate knows no boundaries my sister, it's deep inside of these cretins,do you think their lives are all a bed of roses?? Why do you think they're so miserable!! But of course misery needs company.
@KFC Man says the person not expanding on the whole truth she left out. But let's hear how you will make this about yourself, I am dying to know.
Well Flowers are pretty but so are Christmas lights and they look nothing alike. And some hate Christmas lights
So glad you were here to contribute, the Country is a better place because of it @@betwandet41
@@youknowwhoyouare2269 thank you! I like your hat :)
Ok but now I want to know, what all goes into a Junetini?
That's what I want to know!
Was about to say...looked delish
You’re free to do whatever you want!
Hot sauce , koolaid, and Hennessy
Preachin', Teachin' and makin' us laugh. You're a blessing Amber Ruffin.🤣💖
She may be funny, but Amber is very intelligent and very brilliant to fans, Amber is one of the kind to have greatness to us
She's funny, but she doesn't know history.
@@davidtookes1888
I don't suppose we could get the recipe for that Junetini, could we? Pretty please?
December 18th 1865 was the day the last slaves were freed in the US. Kentucky and Delaware had slwves until then.
"Walmart if you wanna promote something, promote my brother!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Ms Earl Gray T🫖 That was hilarious to me 😂😂
Your government can't even get THAT right. Thank you, much respect and many thanks to Harriet Tubbman!! Keep up the great work, Amber and Hugs from Canada!
The United States Government intentionally doesn't want to get it right. Why you think United States became a more powerful country than Canada. The men who devised this country and still at its helms are the masters of deceit.
Joyful Juneteenth everyone!
Amen!
At work, before Juneteenth became an official holiday, I'd wish my co-workers, "Happy Actual Independence Day!" (and explain it to the bewildered white people).
@@gardnerhill9073
You were doing them a favor by educating them.
@@makeracistsafraidagain if only the Holiday was recognized then, we wouldn't be where we are today
@@youknowwhoyouare2269
Oh, I think racists can ignore a National Holiday. They seem to treat our special day for Doctor King like it doesn't exist.
Juneteenth wasn’t historically celebrated everywhere. In Virginia, we celebrated Emancipation Day. That date depended on the area in which the celebration was held.
You are so right. I'm in Virginia, but didn't learn about it until the 1990s. Never saw celebrations until mid to late 2000s.
...maybe because you both grew up in virginia????? js
@@speedtopia2013 in actuality…in certain parts of Virginia the E.P. didnt apply since it was under union control. They weren’t going to reenslave anyone, but slavery still legally exist
Iconic! Amber is doing the WORK!!!!
Why would you make that up?... I love peach cobbler... especially with top n bottom crust !😋
I just found out today that I have the day off for the first time ever. ❤️
this. :D
🥾 @@amberlance182
A quarter of a million people still living in slavery didn't say on Juneteenth.
I can't get enough of this Sistah!!!... bring it!
Sparkling, informative,
incisive wit. So appreciated
I learn Sooo much about Our history from Amber! Thanks Amber! You're Awesome!
So you learn nothing.
I DO love that explanation of Stacy Adams!
Love the show, Amber👏🏽 You never disappoint🤗 Happy Juneteenth✊🏽
Word to the wise slavery never ended nothing to celebrate.
In Philadelphia we have The Odunde Festival which is a Juneteenth celebration.
Great commentary. Thank you.
Loved it! And we need some Juneteenis 🥂
Just showed up in my feed 10 days late, and I am a subscriber. Watch out, the algorithm is trying to get you.
I disagree with the celebration timeline. My mother (1923-2008), born and raised in Dallas until age 19 never heard of Juneteenth until she saw a poster in Berkeley CA announcing their 8th annual Juneteenth Celebration. This was on the late 90's.
What?
unlearn to relearn pay attention
So glad she’s back!
These are my fav segements!! Thank you for educating us! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 see you next season!! 💛💛💛
That's the reason why it SUDDENLY a federal holiday... trust me. Harriet Tubman on the dollar bill and a Haitian woman elected that's afraid to even mention reparations. In other words celebrate for a day or two and shut up talking about receiving money.
Dear Amber, I am now going out to buy my wooden shoes, let the peach cobbler elf know
I love that you take time to explain to white people what you're referring to.
Sadly, those who need to see it never tuned in, those that showed up were already tuned out
I grew up in West Virginia, and it wasn't until I moved to Texas that I had even heard of it. And of course it was from other white folks who, apparently didn't know the history. Thanks for teaching this white woman what it is really about!
365,000 Union soldiers died to bring about the 13th amendment but don't let the truth get in the way of your self-congratulation.
Okay, but can we get a Junetini recipe??
Another great lesson! Happy Juneteenth!!
We were taught that it took that long for news of the end of the war to reach TX
I'm not saying it was right. I'm just saying that's what they said.
It didn't make sense back then. But I'd already learned that school was not about being curuous. whatever answer they wanted I regurgitated. I just didn't want any trouble.
@@ludokerfluffle6232 If anyone has ever been to Washington DC and visited Capitol Hill, the US National Archives building is about a block from Congress. The 1942 USDA video *Hemp for Victory* was found in the Library of Congress in 1989 and has been officially listed in the US National Archives since 1990. There was a bill in Congress titled HR 3652, the *Hemp for Victory Act of 2019.*
Let's review: a video from 1942 was listed in the US National Archives in 1990, but didn't reach Congress (a block away) until 2019 (and still didn't become law because barely anyone has heard of it ).
Nothing makes sense because humans don't make sense.
We call ourselves a "free country" while we pay billions of tax dollars every year for police to wage war against our fellow Americans over the exact same "Marihuana" plant that was legalized to defend America during World War II, and video proof of this generations-old lie is on everyone's cellphones at an official government website but not even Senators have heard of it.
Don't think I'd want wooden clogs with peach cobbler --- but I LOVE peach cobbler. One of the first things my grandma taught me to make that I could make by myself.
I learn so much from your videos . Thanks
I love her "oh-kay" at 4:37
AMBER, I NEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDD a recipe for the Junteni, because that is a tradition that needs to exist!
is there going to be an announcement of a 3rd season soon? We ❤ Amber!
We need more Amber!
Let's all keep in mind that the 13th amendment didn't actually end slavery in America, it socialized the cost of slavery--instead of slavers buying actual people themselves the state would enslave ppl (prisoners) for them. Sorry to be a bummer.
Very true…
Just learned that recently..
about ppl in USA prisons
It's only a bummer to those who didn't already know.
@@AKing69: ...and a lot of people still don't understand/know that. That loophole definitely wasn't pointed out in the public schools I went to in the 70's and 80's, nor in my universities in the 80's and 90's.
@@pamelaj.betz-baron2420 Yeah, they didn't teach ME that in highschool. So many Americans don't know this and it's by design, the right screeching about CRT made it very clear they don't want ppl to know how unjust America really is.
This was one of my favorite How did we get here. Thanks Amber some of these things I didn't know.
You should try out for the Olympics, because those mental gymnastics were incredible.
I'm pretty sure she'd get disqualified for cheating.
Waiting for the salty saltines in the comments lol
It is never a long wait. They stay ready with the salt.
Stacy Adams are like red bottoms folks that catch the holy ghost.... 🤣😭🤣😭🤣😭🤣😭🤣😭
Amber Ruffin will give you critical race theory if you want it or not….And I’m here for it!
"PROMOTE MY BROTHER" 😆
Say it again for the ppl in the back 📣
One of the best poured Junetinis that I've ever seen.
I can taste it just watching.
So you know the recipe and maybe be willing to share and be the hero we know you have inside you?!
@@imtheonlykit Mine was an attempt at humor, was yours?
@@x1625 Mine was a desperate attempt to know how delicious the drink was and hoping that, if you knew, it'd be awfully kind to share a recipe with a group of people that are also wanting to know. Not humor, just a hope for answers
@@imtheonlykit In that case, Ask Amber.
@@imtheonlykit why ask UA-camrs, when Google is available whenever you need?
Well, those white soldier in the Union army might disagree with her.
Hawaii has a State holiday for every month when there's not a federal one. Like, King Kamehameha Day. (March)
"How did we get here" is the BEST!
Amber left out misconception #5: That June 19th, 1865 was the day the last enslaved people were "freed". There were still slaves in Delaware and Kentucky until December 6th because it was still legal in those states. People need to know that.
This was awesome! I really appreciate this video. Thank you!!!
“PROMOTE MY BROTHER!” Hahahaha
Vodka, strawberry, basil, simple syrup, and a splash of sparkling rosé
The way that 14th amendment shows up to correct the 13th proves what Chappelle mentioned one of his friends saying at the Mark Twain event "the next amendment is in case the previous one doesn't work out."
Always funny and enlightening. Amber is an absolute treasure!
Funny yes. Enlightening. No. This is full of inaccurate claims. She's a comedian, not a historian.
@@HercuLync Which part of what she said was untrue? Could you elaborate?
I want to know what is in a Junetini? I want to try it. 😂🤣😂😂
Thanks, sis!! Exactly!! 💯
I wish that this could shown before movies meant for largely white audiences. Love love love it.💯💯❤❤
The way they used to show a cartoon at the drive-in before the main movie?😁 I just told on my age😂. But, that is a great idea👏🏽👏🏽.
Walmart always want to promote something, promote my brother!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Happy Juneteenth babycakes!!!
Harriet Tubman saved 770 slaves. Who saved the other 1,999,230 slaves?
I'm so glad you're doing this. This rules.
Don't forgot about MayDay in the Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi. The troops reached these states in May and finally got to Texas in June... hence Juneteenth.
Thank you Amber!❤🎉💐💐
She used to come up in my feed, but I now I have to search her show every time. Dag nabbit!
A "day" that celebrates the freedom of millions of Americans is a day for all Americans to celebrate.
Thanks Amber!
Walmart if you w a nt to promote something... Promote my brothers and sisters 😄😄😄 that was hilarious 🤣 🤣🤣
Thank you for putting some straighten on that.
How do you make a Junetini?
I dont want to make a mistake and put something I shouldn't in it.
I can definitely think of a few wrong ways to make it.
Thank you Amber and your team for your labor.
They clearly did very little research for this piece.
"CRT: Caucasian Tom Foolery!!" Brilliant!!! That's so apt!!! And she ends the segment warning about Walmart's tomfoolery!! Amber!! 😍🍭
If what she's preaching is CRT, there is a reason people don't want it in the classroom. It's not true.
🔥❤️!! And this look is Definitely on my favorites list!! 🎀🧥
