First off let me say I have so much love & respect for both of you.. . I was once an ignorant person on these things. I went to jail for a night, the next day while I was waiting to get out a movie was playing & all the black girls were watching w their mats on the floor. I said whats this? They all turned & looked at me, one said get your mat & lay right here, this is the color purple. ... when that scene of Oprah getting ganged up on bc a white woman screamed, bout had me in tears. But I was in jail, so I couldn't cry. . Sitting on that dirty jail floor w these women watching this movie had me moved & it clicked for me. I didn't get to finish the movie as my name was called. I finished the movie when I got home & could cry. . Its a beautiful movie that tells a story of human resilence & spirit. All yall mfs need to watch that movie! ❤❤
Here in Brazil we have the Black Awareness Day, on November 20th, in order to remember the fight of enslaved black people and black leaders that fought for their freedom. It is a headache every year, because it is not a holiday, certain states and public facilities can choose if they are going to adhere to it or not. You basically have to say to your boss: I am not going to come tomorrow, it is Black Awareness Day and you can give me an absence, I do not care (of course I am privileged to have such a job, I don't recommend doing it if you can be fired!).
Facts! But if im not mistaken it will be considered a national holiday starting this year due to an presidential approval (don't know the term in English) signed on December 22nd.
@@marcobenevi I hope so! It is a day to celebrate black people, mourn and also fight for a better treatment of the ones that are always marginalized. It simply cannot go on like it is not real or important.
First time tuning into town hall, thank y’all for using ur platform for this education. I really only heard about Juneteenth when it became a federal holiday and I’m happy to hear some more about its history from two of my fave entertainers. Happy Juneteenth!
I was just sitting here thinking how lucky I am as a middle-aged white lady in Texas … that my mind is open and I could'nt wait to listen to this. Thank you, my gay gay son, from bringing drag to me ❤ Happy Juneteenth!!
I have freckles (meaning parts of my skin have more melanin than others). I remember learning in science that my freckles are related to melanin, but no one had anything to say about the fact that Black and Brown people have melanin in their skin. I think it was my first remembered experience of actively being white woman protected. I’m grateful for the discussion in school of something I couldn’t control (freckles) but it would have been awesome to have that scientific fact extended to everyone’s skin color.
Omg I have stumbled across we’re here .I have been working so much and haven’t been up in my Bob the drag queen :( ..I will honestly say I have never cried so much in my life …as a mom of 4 boys and so many grand babies I always have room for more …))))free”momhugs”(((((((((
Happy Juneteenth!!! Most worthy holiday we have tbh, what’s more deserving of celebration than freedom?? Can’t wait to stream the Ken and Friends Pop Out show 🎉🎉🎉
I think Juneteenth is a good thing. History cannot be forgotten. But we learn from it. And we grow as people. In 2015, I was homeless in Wichita, KS. It was winter and about 13 degrees out. I was lying on a sidewalk by the library about to freeze to death. A police officer picked me up off the ground and gave me a blanket. He took me to the hospital where I was diagnosed with serious hypothermia. I was close to death. But he got me there just in time. The policeman was a black man, and he saved my life. So how can I judge another person by their ethnicity? Juneteenth is beautiful. Keep it strong -- amen
Happy Juneteenth!!! I hate that Target dropped the Pride stuff. My store had none this year. I have a few really good quality shirts with cool graphics I’d gotten a few years back.
Juneteenth is a vibrant and wonderful holiday. If we’re going to celebrate lukewarm politics (a president who became president because he was a decent war-time strategist or a president who “granted freedom” to people who never should have been enslaved anyways) then we’re happily going to celebrate Juneteenth. And we’re not going to tell a person who they are just because we have a terrible memory.
The Clotilda was docked in Mobile Alabama not Montgomery. Mobile Alabama was the place where the last slave ship was docked. AfricaTown was created after that ship was docked by a man named CudJoe Louis established AfricaTown which is still alive today to celebrate Black history
So, as a white guy, how do i say, "Happy Juneteenth!" I'd like to. I agree that we're not free till were all free. But... the word "Juneteenth" is a very specific and cultural word and...I worry that it sounds... if i say it... appropriated? Not... typical? Trying? I think we need more Black people agreeing that everyone should celebrate this and say it outloud, before anyone outside the Black community feels comfortable celebrating it, much less, saying it outloud. I guess i need "permission" to say it without sounding... like a jerk.
Straight, white and 67 in Oregon. I celebrate with you. Proud to do so. I have a little rainbow ALLY pin on my bag. I fly my equality flag. I've waited for someone to say something so I can educate. Nothing but discrete positivity. I might be the youngest person in the over 55 neighborhood. I KNOW I'm the youngest minded. I happily label myself woke. Have apeaceful, safe and fun summer, everyone! It's gonna be soooo hot in some parts of the country. Even our Oregon summers have been a lot hotter in the last years. Love to all!
Ive always thought that maybe it was inappropriate to celebrate juneteenth because it wasnt white people's holiday and maybe it'd be appropriation but hell yeah i wanna celebrate juneteenth, will do!
I’ll never understand why ppl don’t celebrate things as well. Even if it’s not your demographic what’s the problem with celebrating. It’s a CELEBRATION 🎉 ITs meant to be positive and uplifting but you’ll always get those naysayers and negative Nancys’ crying about how they’re left out. It’s sad. 😂😂😂no matter what I’ll celebrate all holidays and walks of life. Peace love and happiness yall. Happy Juneteenth ❤❤❤❤
Nice to see you two lovely people talking about important issues. And Bob, you don't look like Titus Burgess, Monet or anyone else you mentioned. And Peppermint being mistaken for La La Ri? Just no.
I don’t think thinking someone is someone else in inherently racists however standing 10 toes down trying to gaslight someone into believing their someone else can be. 😂
It’s normal to find people from different ethic groups other than your own to look similar. I.e it is difficult to distinguish facial characteristics if you’re not familiar with or immersed in that culture. Not racism.
I’m assuming you skipped the parts in the books you read on cognitive biases or something called the “other race effect”. Good on you backing up your Idol though. I’m a Big fan of Bob too.
I’m event coordinator and a white company had a Juneteenth gathering for their employees. They have fried chicken, macaroni and cheese and watermelon. I was so insulted but I took the money anyway.
Ms Peppermint’s frickin cheekbones! Too much beauty, can’t deal 😍

I saw my white mormon father today and he said "Happy Juneteenth" haha I was shocked!
Happy Juneteenth!!!

Why is Bob not doing sibling rivalry anymore?
Bob I can't stop listening to not like us eitherrrrrrrrrr
And it's all eyes on me and I'ma send it up to PAC ay ughhhh

Bob is truly delusional . Saying he can see how he looks like Monet and not Todrick LMAO GURL 😂

Omg Bob does not look like Todrick in ANY capacity.
The best part of this video starts at 10:45 when they start their scripted exchange.
It’s normal to find people from different ethic groups other than your own to look similar. I.e it is difficult to distinguish facial characteristics if you’re not familiar with or immersed in that culture. Not racism.
It's normal in racism. You're proving the point.
@@PeruChris racism is a conscious choice. This is not. Every ethnic group is subject to this phenomenon.
@@StaleCookies You're wrong on every point. Read some books.
@@PeruChris I think it’s great fighting racism when it’s present but inventing it where it doesn’t exist actually counters your cause.
I’m assuming you skipped the parts in the books you read on cognitive biases or something called the “other race effect”. Good on you backing up your Idol though. I’m a Big fan of Bob too.
1st teehee
Juneteenth is the great conservative holiday which celebrates the Republicans finally freeing the last of the democrats’ slaves.
Change my mind.
