It's worth mentioning that the U.S. abolished slavery before any African king or oba or mansa abolished it in their realms. Sadly slavery continues to exist in parts of Africa and throughout the world in the form of human (sex) trafficking, forced labor (concentration camps), bonded labor (to repay debts). To think, it wasn't all that long ago that most of the world thought of this evil institution as part and parcel, so to say, of the natural order of things.
So Eddie why is it more important now when most peoples lives in western world are easier overall than they were several hundred years ago? And what is a strong man exactly because you sound like Andrew Tate and his cult
@@clayscloset2618 If you have to ask what being strong is, and not just for men, but for all people, you might not be that strong. You want an example of a strong man, Martin Luther King...

I give more weight to the soldiers that fought and died for their freedom over the recipients of that freedom. Juneteenth should celebrate the soldiers sacrifice as well as black freedom. A holiday has to be inclusive for all Americans to be valued. Culmination means "the highest or climactic point of something, especially as attained after a long time". The Juneteenth Emancipation Notice, is that culmination of the civil war. I call Juneteenth "Civil War Day". The other issue, even though slaves were now free, they were not U.S. citizens, but illegal aliens. Only their children born after July 9, 1968, after 14th Amendment was ratified, were automatically U.S. citizens. Former slaves could have become U.S. citizens if they became naturalized citizens, but they did not go through any process to become U.S. citizens, so their status remained as illegal aliens and could not vote. I believe blacks that became soldiers (like the Buffalo Soldiers) were naturalized U.S. citizens.

Jesus Christ saves from sin. Romans 3: 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Hebrews 9: 27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: Isaiah 64: 6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. Revelation 21: 8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. Romans 5: 8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. John 3: 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 14: 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Romans 10: 9-10. That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Jesus said John 5: 24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. 1John 5: 10-13 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.. Ephesians 2: 8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. Romans 8: 1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 1 Corinthians 15: 3-4 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: 2 Corinthians 5: 21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
Some of the schools in my area started teaching more in-depth regarding Juneteenth and the amount of parents pulling their kids from the teaching/learning of it is crazy. Even members of my family are pulling their children out of the teachings. I’m more so whatever with it 🤷🏽♂️ learn it, don’t learn it. I can’t relate nor is it my place to try to say that I understand.
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. ¿Libertad para hacer el bien o libertad para hacer el mal? ¿Qué tiene que ver la libertad con el grafiti y el vandalismo al que están acostumbrados cada vez que celebran esa fecha? La gente está cerrando los lugares donde trabajan en sus negocios, no para celebrar sino porque saben que corren peligro por la forma en que acostumbran celebrar esa fecha en las calles.
As a immigrant from Africa celebrating June teenth is about human freedom but I don’t support what is being made of color based celebration rather than American celebration and educating people about the slavery the significant contribution of the slaves to the American economy ,abolitionist both white and black ,soldiers who died to free the slaves last night I watched CNN and there was a program all the entertainers were black they excluded non black entertainers even though the headline was global celebration of freedom.
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.
If that's what you think this is, you're a clown. I'm sure you also hate St. Patrick's Day and Oktoberfest? Always hilarious when people like you accidentally out themselves.
So not celebrate the actual freedom day of the last slaves that didn’t know they were slaves 2 years after slavery ended. It’s like saying let’s not celebrate anything dealing with blk ppl
In 1971 we created a generic "Presidents Day" to celebrate the anniversaries of the birthdays of our two greatest presidents- Washington, a man without whom we very possibly would not have the republic we do and Lincoln, the man who saved that republic- to both ensure a guaranteed three day weekend and to reduce the number of federal holidays. Now we have a federal holiday celebrating a redundant military order. Whoopee.
They claim not to like us, blame us for all the wrongs in our lives AND theirs yet, they are always around and in our business. Anyone that doesn’t want to celebrate just don’t and mind your business when it comes to us.
@@bartonic777 Texas joined the Union in December of 1845. The Emancipation Proclamation freeing all those in involuntary servitude in the States in rebellion against the US was issued on January 01, 1865. That proclamation listed those States by name and included Texas. The essentially meaningless military order being celebrated as ending slavery in Texas was issued six months later on June 19, 1865. If people in Texas want to celebrate a military order that merely reminded Texans that slavery had been banned that's fine but declaring it a national holiday is just plain dumb.
@Kevin Kincaid My typo aside, you seem to be saying, "The Emancipation Proclamation was meaningless since it only ended slavery in Confederate States and then only symbolically because none of those States were under Union military control." There's an argument to be made for that view but then one has to consider that almost a full year passed before President Johnson declared in April of 1866 that the insurrection was over in all the former Confederate States - EXCEPT Texas. The insurrection in Texas didn't end and Texas wasn't under Union military control until late August of 1866. Anyone may celebrate Juneteenth as much as they wish but formal national holidays should not celebrate a rewriting of a nation's history just to make people feel good.
@@Greghh1960 it's about all Americans celebrating the day that all Americans were finally free. I guess YOU don't have to celebrate, but most Americans actually love freedom, and any reason to celebrate that! Go be miserable alone
Africans need to apologize to the world and pay reparations to the rest of the world for starting, promulgating, and to this day practicing the institution of slavery. My ancestors were slaves in Africa for 3k+ years..
Overall, I really liked the June 19, 2022 Juneteenth piece that included genealogy and interview with someone who remembers picking it like my ("white") mother. Yet, the nice young man, heading a Afro-American chamber of commerce in Waco, stabbed me when he said the holiday commemorates when all people became equal. Are women not people?!?! I reach out to the quote of Justice Thurgood Marshall that the original Constitution did not include him (a free Afro-American). You could add a note that CBS network realizes the young man's comment was not accurate and that the network recognizes women of every "color" STILL could not vote or live equally as men. (I rant some here but for the sake of teaching!) In 1970, my newly-single parent mother had to fight for credit so she buy clothes for us to attend school. Although my father's administrative career allowed him to die in his million dollar home leave nothing to his children, my computer operator mother left half her life savings in a trust for me to survive my disabilities. Even my dad's 2nd wife left me her entire life insurance policy. (Still living and married the 3rd time, dad's widow doesn't communicate with us stepchildren of her 2nd marriage).
If enough women of color and enough women of white descent grow to a place together, maybe we can eventually have a movement together to establish something in recognition.
You mean the 99% of mass shootings by white supremacists reminds you of the cancer that was partially destroyed back in 1865 but still keeps coming back? Hopefully the immune system of America sends some antibodies your way.
Happy Juneteenth to American Descendants of Chattel Slavery. Just curious, CBS why didn’t you use the official Juneteenth flag in the segment intro? It’s a symbolic red, white and blue flag, not red black green yellow.

"There is only one race, the human race, there is only one home, Earth." Came here to watch racists come out of the woodwork. I hope you all feel better now that you can look down on someone or something so you can feel superior. Keep the divisions up, way to go society.
You may be a monkey but not me
Hardly anyone actually remembers General Granger. RIP
Unfortunately but traitors like Lee and Davis stiil get talked about.
Lol true
Hardly anyone actually remembers Soupy Sales. So what's your point?

Yes
all holidays are fake

What's a "real holiday"?

Every single group of people are equal, and all groups shall recieve the same treatment. Jesus created all people equally in His image, and we all will be judged as we see others either better or worse than ourselves. I am a human being created by Jesus, i have no allegiance to any one group of people. I am a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven, and all people are my brothers and sisters and no one is better or worse than me, and no person or group of people throughout history in any location on Earth, is more worthy of compassion or repayment, because of any suffering or injustice, than any other person or group of people. Praise Jesus, Thank You Jesus, Maranatha Jesus.
Jesus created who??? Didn't Jesus come from Mary??? Who created all the people before the birth of Jesus???
@@kipwonder2233 Jesus is God, He has always been, and will always be. read John 1:1-5, 14 :In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Beautiful!!!
2023 Happy 157th Juneteenth Liberation Day Weekend Holiday Now & Forever FREE.
Freedom is worthy of joyous celebration. Some observe it on July 4th, others on June 19th. Either or both is fine with me.
There would be no June 19th were it not for July 4th.
@@rentslave 🙄 he’ll you right we wouldn’t have been slaves
@@rentslave There would be no Easter without Christmas, who cares?
@@yhaswalker9151 oh there still would be slaves, only British slaves instead of American slaves
@@Woopor that’s y’all damn problem you don’t understand y’all created black and white and all those concepts slavery wasn’t like that before you Europeans got a hold of it
They should change the Date to Dec 6th!
Joke
Whoop ha ha
Celebrating this is a great day for America - a vivid reminder that all people are created equal. Now we just need to continue to work to fulfill the promise of freedom for all people.
they aren't slaves..most don't even work.
@@SunRise-lr7ch that’s just dumb.
Blacks are still enslaved by the Democrat party. I will celebrate the day blacks finally get their independence from Demoncrats!
@@padseven according to the latest civiqs poll they still approve of Biden so. You can check the website.
@@SunRise-lr7ch just like that Baby Daddy Donald Trump your Lord and God on earth
As a Black person, I treat it as a regional holiday.
The Thirteenth Amendment ended slavery in America.
How long have you been celebrating it? Do you pray for the 330,000 White Republican Union soldiers that gave their systemic racist lives to free Back slaves from their White Democrat owners?
Except for the incarcerated
Not true
What will the next black holiday be...? Al Sharpton s birthday!
5:21 When Sunday Morning continues the NYC doctors on the frontlines of COVID
Dumbest holiday ever
Wrong flag for Juneteenth!
Happy Father’s Day!
I always make sure to keep a EBT card and a piece of chicken when I go out on days like this,
Yep especially knowing there are more whites on welfare than black.

I"m a white Texas Republican and I'm very disturbed by the salty and logiphobic response I saw to this holiday yesterday. Although I'll never submit to the lies of BLM, it is unsettling to see how ingrained racism still is in our culture when people came make obviously biased objections to this holiday. I fear for the fabric of our nation.
Lies of Black Lives Matter?
As a black man I've been telling people for years racism is Not going anywhere.
@@1990758 First, who cares if you're black, second, we can do something about that. Racism isn't normal, nor is it natural. Racism as we know it has only been around for a few hundred years.
@@deltabot6550 I could care less what you think about the color of my skin.I understand your frustration but your comment is reckless.Let me educate you racism and segregation has been here since slavery.We have been divided that far back and we always will be racism is never gonna go away I don’t care who’s in the White House how many people you see on television.Don’t you remember Jim crow don’t you remember segregationist slavery.We will always be divided as a country always don’t ever forget that racism isn’t going anywhere the same thing with the homeless problem
@@1990758 frustration? Reckless? My comment isn’t reckless. If you literally think the way we view racism is an axiomatic foundation of our world, there’s nothing to argue. You are flat out wrong. That’s all there is to say about it. I don’t care if the US has always been racist (which it has and is) that is not an argument for its continued racism. Also, don’t ascribe positions to me that I have exhibited.
This is a great story.
We should NOT be underwriting IGNORANCE !!!
June come before July but ok … I guess
🤔
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
God, the idiots that are waisting our oxygen supply never fail to disgust me with their petty micro aggressions and racism
Hahaha October is now Honkytober .
Really?
Octoberfest
That's racist 🤓
no... juneteenth, americas propaganda day during propaganda month
I still have to go to work. It's not counted like Memorial Day or July 4th at 96% of companies.
Don't believe me ask around. Most companies will laugh at you.
Cry more
Most people have to work on July 4th and presidents day and flag day and father's day and many other holidays.

Jesus Christ saves from sin.
Romans 3: 23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Hebrews 9: 27
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
Isaiah 64: 6
But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
Revelation 21: 8
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Romans 5: 8
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
John 3: 16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 14: 6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Romans 10: 9-10.
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Jesus said John 5: 24
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
1John 5: 10-13
He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God..
Ephesians 2: 8-9
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Romans 8: 1
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
1 Corinthians 15: 3-4
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
2 Corinthians 5: 21
For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
Some of the schools in my area started teaching more in-depth regarding Juneteenth and the amount of parents pulling their kids from the teaching/learning of it is crazy. Even members of my family are pulling their children out of the teachings.
I’m more so whatever with it 🤷🏽♂️ learn it, don’t learn it. I can’t relate nor is it my place to try to say that I understand.
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.
¿Libertad para hacer el bien o libertad para hacer el mal?
¿Qué tiene que ver la libertad con el grafiti y el vandalismo al que están acostumbrados cada vez que celebran esa fecha?
La gente está cerrando los lugares donde trabajan en sus negocios, no para celebrar sino porque saben que corren peligro por la forma en que acostumbran celebrar esa fecha en las calles.
🙄 - none of which are still alive but now we have yet another reason to sow division - congratulations.
The comments on rhis post are horrible. So many racists. Happy Juneteenth!
We needed another Charles. My day gave us a Katie 🙏 third time we got freedom.. least we forgot the crown 👸
As a immigrant from Africa celebrating June teenth is about human freedom but I don’t support what is being made of color based celebration rather than American celebration and educating people about the slavery the significant contribution of the slaves to the American economy ,abolitionist both white and black ,soldiers who died to free the slaves last night I watched CNN and there was a program all the entertainers were black they excluded non black entertainers even though the headline was global celebration of freedom.
In America every thing is about color unfortunately
But the people who are freed are African Americans not white Americans like on July 4th which is why it’s about color
Is the idea of representation REALLY that hard for you people to understand?
Juneteenth has nothing to do with Africans.
@@davidd4696yuh it does with African Americans no one said African people where talking about the race
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.
Whatever.
I'd rather not bother celebrating one race over others. Happy father's day
You rather not celebrate the emancipation and freedom of people from enslavement?
Lol, white snowflake, scared to celebrate truth
Then don't
If that's what you think this is, you're a clown. I'm sure you also hate St. Patrick's Day and Oktoberfest? Always hilarious when people like you accidentally out themselves.
So not celebrate the actual freedom day of the last slaves that didn’t know they were slaves 2 years after slavery ended. It’s like saying let’s not celebrate anything dealing with blk ppl
@@manifestoraclease9446 we have July 4th. How about celebrating independence for all.
🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮

My family. Wow!!!
❤️✝️
In 1971 we created a generic "Presidents Day" to celebrate the anniversaries of the birthdays of our two greatest presidents- Washington, a man without whom we very possibly would not have the republic we do and Lincoln, the man who saved that republic- to both ensure a guaranteed three day weekend and to reduce the number of federal holidays. Now we have a federal holiday celebrating a redundant military order. Whoopee.
@@bartonic777 would it offend you if someone is racist?
They claim not to like us, blame us for all the wrongs in our lives AND theirs yet, they are always around and in our business. Anyone that doesn’t want to celebrate just don’t and mind your business when it comes to us.
@@bartonic777 Texas joined the Union in December of 1845. The Emancipation Proclamation freeing all those in involuntary servitude in the States in rebellion against the US was issued on January 01, 1865. That proclamation listed those States by name and included Texas. The essentially meaningless military order being celebrated as ending slavery in Texas was issued six months later on June 19, 1865.
If people in Texas want to celebrate a military order that merely reminded Texans that slavery had been banned that's fine but declaring it a national holiday is just plain dumb.
@Kevin Kincaid My typo aside, you seem to be saying, "The Emancipation Proclamation was meaningless since it only ended slavery in Confederate States and then only symbolically because none of those States were under Union military control." There's an argument to be made for that view but then one has to consider that almost a full year passed before President Johnson declared in April of 1866 that the insurrection was over in all the former Confederate States - EXCEPT Texas. The insurrection in Texas didn't end and Texas wasn't under Union military control until late August of 1866.
Anyone may celebrate Juneteenth as much as they wish but formal national holidays should not celebrate a rewriting of a nation's history just to make people feel good.
Isn't 4th of July redundant by that same logic? Washington fought for independence and already has his own holiday, so why do we need two?
Happy Juneteenth! ❤
Thats because they don't celebrate fathers day. ( For obvious reasons).
@@Greghh1960 who's "they"?
@@kylaarmstrong-benjamin8066 -> Who do you think Juneteenth is about? White Amish Farmers?
@@Greghh1960 it's about all Americans celebrating the day that all Americans were finally free.
I guess YOU don't have to celebrate, but most Americans actually love freedom, and any reason to celebrate that!
Go be miserable alone
@@kylaarmstrong-benjamin8066 people who are Americans don't separate themselves out by color or race
happy Umpteenth: a celebration of baseball umpires across the decades.....
Happy let everyone know you're a racist day: a celebration where people like you go mask off.
😂
That would explain the huge crowds celebrating and three people that know what a juneteenth be.
What about Native Americans enslaved to reservations. My GGG grand parents were slaves to all
Go ask Pocahontas the democrat lady in the senate. she is native american right?
Indigenous peoples day is in November!
Today is Corpus Christi Sunday, we celebrate the Presence of Jesus in Holy Eucharist! May we never forget or take Him for granted.
The Eucharist is just a cookie.
@@TheresaPowers Archie Bunker to Edith: "Did you eat a cookie?!?"
Hasn't all races been slaves at one point in history
The black race still is!
Feudalism is not the same as chattel slavery but yes. Many European slaves in the Ottoman markets.
We live in America so we are concerned with our own history. Pretty simple.
Haven't all races been oppressed by monarchs at one point? So I guess no more 4th of July.
Happy fathers day. For you kids who don't have a father happy juneteenth.
Happy Juneteenth Day.🎈🎈🎈🎈
This holiday commemorates the gratitude that black people have for being freed from bondage by white people.
@@shlepmessing8703 lol
People forget they were white slaves as well. 🥴
Happy Father's Day, happy Juneteenth, and happy Pride Month. Have a magnificent Sunday. Thank you and God bless. 🌈
Africans need to apologize to the world and pay reparations to the rest of the world for starting, promulgating, and to this day practicing the institution of slavery.
My ancestors were slaves in Africa for 3k+ years..
Happy Fathers Day. We do not recognize this ridiculous Juneteenth
Idk who this 'we' is, but America does.
We don't want you to
@@deltabot6550 no America doesn't. Indoctrinated foolz who are bent on spreading division celebrate this made up date
Who is "we"? Pretty ironic calling yourself peace loving.
@@padseven yes it does, cry about it more. Also, Juneteenth is almost 200 years old.
Overall, I really liked the June 19, 2022 Juneteenth piece that included genealogy and interview with someone who remembers picking it like my ("white") mother. Yet, the nice young man, heading a Afro-American chamber of commerce in Waco, stabbed me when he said the holiday commemorates when all people became equal. Are women not people?!?! I reach out to the quote of Justice Thurgood Marshall that the original Constitution did not include him (a free Afro-American). You could add a note that CBS network realizes the young man's comment was not accurate and that the network recognizes women of every "color" STILL could not vote or live equally as men. (I rant some here but for the sake of teaching!) In 1970, my newly-single parent mother had to fight for credit so she buy clothes for us to attend school. Although my father's administrative career allowed him to die in his million dollar home leave nothing to his children, my computer operator mother left half her life savings in a trust for me to survive my disabilities. Even my dad's 2nd wife left me her entire life insurance policy. (Still living and married the 3rd time, dad's widow doesn't communicate with us stepchildren of her 2nd marriage).
If enough women of color and enough women of white descent grow to a place together, maybe we can eventually have a movement together to establish something in recognition.
@@lisaschooler9992 Please, doesn't the word "women" cover them all? Do we need to do DNA samples of everyone to decide how to categorize them?
So funny that it's on father's day
Read why this day in description.

This will go over the head of most naive white people!!!!
Only in USA.

Not a real day, unless you want to use the anniversary. I
We are reminded of Juneteenth everyday on the news from all the crimes.
You mean the 99% of mass shootings by white supremacists reminds you of the cancer that was partially destroyed back in 1865 but still keeps coming back? Hopefully the immune system of America sends some antibodies your way.
Happy Juneteenth to American Descendants of Chattel Slavery. Just curious, CBS why didn’t you use the official Juneteenth flag in the segment intro? It’s a symbolic red, white and blue flag, not red black green yellow.
Red green and yellow what you see most often
@@hardrocker796 yes, I realize that. But since it’s an official holiday now I was curious as to why they didn’t use the official flag instead.
You know this date and event was not the end of slavery in the US, right? Somehow, it has become a false version of history.
No it is NOT. They were showing the CORRECT FLAG!
@@marque235 because it has NOTHING to do with that racist flag that was created while Blacks were enslaved in this country.
