Well if Juneteenth a Holiday now then we should be off work with Holiday pay. Treat it like Christmas, New Years, Thanksgiving. Etc...
I see a lot of hate in the comments 🙄 Happy Juneteenth ❤️
The Kkk and them other white racist are big mad 😠 😡 😤. 😆 🤣 😂 😹
Happy Juneteenth!
Happy Father’s Day!
@@AmericanBarber82 happy Chinese new year!
These people celebrating not even thinking that some clown or clowns may start shooting any minute. Me, i staying home & watching it on tv.
I think like you do-@home with no potential crazy.
Not everyone is a coward. You're acting like they were out doing something that is actually dangerous. Celebrating a holiday isn't dangerous in of itself. Just because you think the sky is falling doesn't mean everyone else should have the same kind of mindset.
@@apexone5502 ok Einstein you go right ahead-enjoy.🤣
@@3x3mm hey, I support your right to be in perpetual fear because of the boogey man that lives in your mind.
@Malcolm Best. Just remember this is in Atlanta. Most of us stay armed at all times and if someone starts shooting we shoot back. Just saying.
Happy Juneteenth
I love it. I tried to make it & it was so backed up. But I love the participation
Ummmmm ....nice try but no it wasn't .....maybe 100 people
@@Newberry-hk4fx was you there? Because I was in the traffic downtown
@@kaynetinnermon7638 yes I was there....
@@Newberry-hk4fx so stop with the lies 🙄. It was 100 people in traffic at a stand still on centennial trying to get to the park still at 2pm when I was there & it was already filling up then.
Blah ...blah...blah....and how many shootings and murders took place during this celebration?
I believe everyone has the right to believe and celebrate whatever they chose because this is America. I don't care what you say or what you think because I can actually think for myself. I was there and on the news it actually stated the turnout wasn't what was expected. It wasn't the fact people didn't want to celebrate, it's the fact that most people can't enjoy any celebration because 1 or 2 idiots have to ruin it for everyone else. So say whatever you want....call me a liar, call me whenever you want ...the facts are simple the turnout was very low. I have seen the Atlanta streets during other celebrations and as I said there was NOT that many people there. It was actually sad to see. I was hoping that everyone could enjoy and celebrate Father's Day and Junteeth but it just wasn't something that happened. So nice try with the gaslighting ....how about actually stating facts. Just because I said the turnout was low you got offended. Why? Ridiculous and that is why no one will ever take you seriously. Truth earns respect. Have a great day!
Wish I was there viben wit these glorious mighty beautiful shaded MOSTHIGH people ✊
Great for the Culture and Children alone.☯️
Happy Juneteenth!!!!
Happy #Juneteenth Freedom Day!
✊🏾🖤💚❤✊🏾
I love it ♥️💚🖤💛
Why are you using these colors Juneteenth is a Black American holiday not an African holiday. Black Americans have a different Heritage and Culture and history we have absolutely nothing to do with Africa or their people.
@@bobbyblue46 We have to gatekeep our holiday to a degree because other groups are trying to CO-OP it and tie in their own random AGENDAS. Also be careful how you spend your money because other groups and entities see this as just a money grab. There are non-black people selling JuneTeenth flags and probably don't even support REPARATIONS specifically for Black Americans.
@@bobbyblue46 that’s probably the dumbest thing anyone’s ever said
💙🤍❤️ are the Juneteenth colors, you must be a boomer/gen-x stuck on pan African bs
What's up with the color red black green. You freshly came from Africa?
🇱🇾🇱🇾🇱🇾
Happy Juneteenth and Birthday ATLANTA 🥬🍠🫓☮️🌱🍉🍋🎂
This was great!
I Love You' ll
Cold beans ayee and collard greens ayee
Awesome 🥰
I love to see the young people perform! We need to celebrate them.
Edit: I was referring to celebrating the young people. Of course we're celebrating the liberation of Black Americans (which more than 200,000 AA troops contributed to also.)
Isn't their a black history month?!
@@dwindlefoddl7225 1. I'm talking about celebrating young people. ! I like seeing them doing something constructive instead of video games & social media all the time. 2. Unless theyre rooting for the Confederacy, EVERY AMERICAN should celebrate the preservation of the Union which more than 200,000 Black soldiers (not counting the sailors in the Navy which was integrated) fought to free themselves in league with the constitution, to win the war & preserve the Union. Even members of the Confederacy stated that the Union would not have won without its "Colored Troops". Check out the Ted talk by Hari Jones. He has other presentations, this is the shortest..... if you're interested in knowing more about ALL of American history.
@@jamedraa8472 Wow..so without black soldiers,the North would have lost the war?! I better alter all the History books...smh
@@dwindlefoddl7225 Like I said, if you really want to know the truth you'll find out for yourself. Like I did. I'm sure you consider yourself a patriot, so make the effort to learn of it's history. . I got that information by reading a letter written by a C.O. in the Confederacy. If you took even 20 minutes to follow up on the historian I mentioned, you'd see that he cites only first hand accounts. Likewise at the Af. Am. Civil War museum, only first hand accounts are displayed in the exhibit. Not what other people "said happened". Images, letters & newspapers from that time are included in Hari Jones' presentations. But....suit yourself.

Everyone in America has the right to believe what they want. All of the people on here that are making comments about people dying for freedom ...have obviously forgotten that no matter the color of your skin, culture, sexual oreintation, values or beliefs, freedom is freedom ...period. So next time you want to be so abtuse with your comments, feel shame for yourself. We all have the same color blood....Red.
Ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,
@@arkybaldknobber8062 what are you laughing at yourself.....oh yeah that's right....YOUR FREEDOM LETS YOU .....SO HAHAHAHA YOUR RIGHT IT IS FUNNY ....
Beautiful people!!! ♥️♥️♥️🖤🖤🖤💚💚💚

Happy Fathers Day!!
Hey, let's make up another 'holiday'.
It'll have a really vague meaning and no one will care as long as they have the day off..., with pay. 🤑
Somebody take out the trash, you know what color it 🗑 is.
How come they are starting this year? Something is strange here…
Good news story and celebration. However, was there a strong educational presence about slavery and emancipation or freedom from slavery?
👋
What I don't like is the lack of support for Father's Day. It's like it just disappeared. Kind of like 80% of the fathers in a certian cultural demographic.
Say that
Actually studies show that Black men are the most involved with their children compared to other groups here in America. So you're wrong there.
@@apexone5502 that is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. Provide a source or stfu smooth brain.
truly inspiring...
MAGA 2024!
Beautiful!

Screw Juneteenth, it’s Father’s Day !!!
Due to the way that these two holidays work, it’s both.
Only GOD can free a slave. Not a man
Coming next... National Handicapped Parking Day.
Do you mean that's the day when POS idiots will actually be fined or arrested for parking in handicapped spaces? I'm all for it.
Juneteenth the day that black gays were told they could come out of the closet
We know what color this trash is… somebody take it out it smells badly.
@@NS-ju7vz "no amendment is absolute" Joe Biden. Remember that 😉
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@backdoorletsdothis I guess Father's Day is a white privilege. Lol
@@shizzlestix66 the most confusing day in Harlem is fathers day
Already
But we still is in slavery we are in modern day slavery because we still have to go to the other nations that had us in slavery for all the things that we need on the Facebook right now
No. YOU'RE the one who's still a slave. Not me.
The African-American Dysporia is not free, dress it as you please news people..
🇱🇾👍🏼
None of these people are from Atlanta, and Juneteenth happened in Texas.
We know what color this trash is…somebody please take it out because it stinks.
WHERE ARE THEY FROM? 🤔
@@INFORMATIVESITUATIONS CALIFORNIA AND NEW YORK. They aren't native Atlantans.
@@Armistead_MacSkye As long as they are foundational Black Americans then they are fine. WHAT ARE YOU BY THE WAY?
@@Armistead_MacSkye just let them have their holiday. Most of them can't celebrate Father's day because most of them don't know their dads lmao. So this is to make them feel included.
Juneteenth (short for “June Nineteenth”) marks the day when federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas in 1865 to take control of the state and ensure that all enslaved people be freed. Confederate General Robert E. Lee had surrendered at Appomattox Court House two months earlier in Virginia, but slavery had remained relatively unaffected in Texas-until U.S. General Gordon Granger stood on Texas soil and read General Orders No. 3: “The people of Texas are informed that, in accordance with a proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free!”
The 13th amendment to the Constitution had been ratified a year earlier in the Senate but now it was up to House for final passage. When the final vote was held on January 31, 1865 in the House of Representatives, there were enough "Aye's" to pass.
ALL BUT 4 DEMOCRATS OPPOSED yet guess which party blacks keep voting for?
If you know your history so much you will know that the two parties changes what they are back in the 1960’s
I ain’t voting for none of them.. all this crap is lies.. nothing but lies I’ll keep voting for God💯
@@Gatorgetfresh - These are many of the same liberal loons that spat on our soldiers returning from Vietnam, they've just done a better job of keeping it to themselves but now they are treating cops like our Vietnam soldiers.
And the Democrat Socialist of America and what they want to do to this country?
@@Gatorgetfresh
P.A. - If we are erasing the names on buildings, roadways and everything else that is offensive due to past history, shouldn't the Democrat Party be renamed?
@@joed9491 maybe 🤔
We need a white celebration, "equal rights"
July 4th
Enjoy 4th of July weirdo.
Yes! Equality is a False God Indeed! Antiwhite Indoctrination (CRT) Crumbles in the Absence of White Guilt, of which I have ‘Zero’.

No wonder Atlanta has such a smoother of eeeeerieness when your driving through with all your vehicle s doors locked, they celebrate anything BUT if they knew the truth about what was signed by potus they would not celebrate DECEPTION.🙏🏽🙏🏽👋🏽
They rather give us another damn symbol/statue/celebration but no reputations 😂celebrating the day we were free from what?😂😂😂 we are still enslaved.. um done✌🏽💀 let me know when they pass a law for no more white privilege holiday .. untill then unity is the only solution for blk Americans and blks across the globe💯💯💯
🧐 Ok??? You need to define some of those pronouns, if you want to have an open dialogue. Therefore, offer additional information.
It's tomorrow 😑

Wait fi it y’all , turn inna gay movement soon … bloodclott
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.
I see your point but remember that July 4th was just the day the U.S. declared it's independence, that didn't automatically make it independent from Britain right then, there was still a whole war for independence to get through. It's simply the day a declaration and a promise that it would become independent was made and adopted by the Congress. You're adding a lot of nuance to the celberation of Juneteenth but you ought to also acknowledge the nuance to the other independence day, which isn't inclusive of all Americans (considering all of the amendements that had to be added in the centuries to follow it). The dates and holidays to come with both are just a mark/birth of independence.
Besides, Juneteenth doesn't exclude people from other cultures from celebrating with black americans, I don't think it's fair to take value away because the people who were freed didn't fight for their freedom (though my understanding is that there is substantial nuance involved there). Especially since Americans weren't officially Americans just because Thomas Jefferson and the Congress said so. It took years and a war for Britain to even acknowledge the U.S. as a country with its own citizens. Again, it mostly marks the beginning of indepencence. So why can't Juneteenth do the same?
Oh well sucks to be the buffalo soldiers, hope they rot in hell, Indigenous Peoples, Mexicans and Puerto Ricans as a whole need to do some research and learn what those black colonizers did just for some “citizenship” no better than their Anglo masters.
That's what Memorial Day, which was started by Black Civil War soldiers, is for. You only have a problem with Juneteenth because it has something to do with celebrating Black people. It bothers you that there's any celebration for Black people but you don't want to admit that so you act as if you've come up with a noble form of reasoning on why the day should be dedicated to Union soldiers.
@@apexone5502 I thought MLK day was the black holiday. Don't know why MLK is a holiday. Bill Cosby did more to assimilate black people into society than MLK ever did.
@@apexone5502 Hope the Union falls apart, and the southwest is united with Mexico. Gringo
Rename June 19th to “Paternity Test and Child Support Day.” See who celebrates that 😂 😳🫵🏿
Lmfao....no one would show up...
