The problem with Juneteenth being a holiday, like most things in this country, is it’s more symbolic than anything and costs them nothing. Federal workers get yet another day off of work but the racial wealth gap remains. #CutTheCheck #B1
💯
And just how are blacks that are part of the Great Society programs that have single mothers that fail to teach their children responsibility supposed to advance. Yes some get discussed with their situations and work hard to change their situation and many are successful, but they are in a minority. It is not a racial issue as much it is a lifestyle issue.😊
Give it back to Texas. We actually appreciate Juneteenth. Yall can celebrate January 1st.
@@quintinoutland676 Jan 1st?
I admit that I was REALLY torn about Juneteenth becoming a National Holiday because I thought that it was a holiday just celebrated by us Texans. Since I was a little girl, the Saturday closest to June 19th was always the most exciting day of the Summer for me, even with my birthday being July 3! We would buy our Juneteenth t-shirts in advance, and I would be ready to ride my bike along with my friends in the Juneteenth parade. There would be classic cars, beautiful horses (owned by a Black man named Joe Hardiss), fire trucks, floats, groups of people marching, and it was a spectacular beginning to the day. When the parade ended at the American Legion park, there would be a religious service. The barbecue pits would already be cooking up the best meat in Texas, and the sides were brought along too. The entire day into the night, a co-ed softball tournament would take place on the grounds at the park. This provided for a day of celebration that had not only the Black people from the local area, but local whites and other whites who came to participate in the softball tournament. There was music playing all day with dance competitions. People that you hadn’t seen in years would come and celebrate Black Independence Day in Texas. To me, the 4th of July never felt like “Independence Day” because I knew that my family members and other Black people in the country didn’t become “free” on that day. I didn’t realize that Texans who had moved North and people from other surrounding states like Louisiana, Arkansas, and Oklahoma celebrated Juneteenth too. Now knowing that, I guess that I’m ok with it being a National holiday. Like everything else for us, the fight to be treated as human beings isn’t over. So, I guess the benefits of it being a National Holiday won’t happen for years to come either. Happy Juneteenth everyone!!!
Wow❤
As someone from a Texas family African American, I too had feelings abt this. I’d always known or led to believe it was for Blk Texans to celebrate being that the storied told growing up abt Juneteenth always seemed so rooted in Texas. Or Atleast that’s how we was raised to know this. Nice thoughts
Our families weren’t all and always told that they were legally free yet for umph amount of time. Even some still purchased they freedoms and that of remaining family on the plantations(like mine). So the holiday always was poppin but with a hint of being messed up cuz of the whole them not knowing they was free or ever told in some cases.
You describe a fabulous day! I absolutely love your recanting from your memories.
I was born in Texas I grew up in Illinois and throughout High School and College I never knew what Juneteenth was until I moved back to the South
Happy Juneteenth! Go with God and God bless.
I was not going to view this. The problem is you have to listen to know what's being said.. Pretty much all morning I have been listening to folk who know nothing about Juneteenth try to tell others what it is, what it isn't, what it does and doesn't do, mean or say. The misinformation was disheartening. I am unsure if they actually have no idea, trying to misinform or just try to get views. You have done an AMAZING job here. Your research is clear. Your presentation well done. I wish there was a way to direct folk who want accurate, clear and informative information on Juneteenth could be brought here first. Finally, some "REAL" truth about Juneteenth. I would only like to add Juneteenth was the beginning of the end of slavery. By American troops arriving and standing up for and behind the law, mandating freedom in Texas, America began to be truer to itself... that all men are created equal and there for free. Until Juneteenth, American was a lie. (Fact)
Coming from call never heard anybody say anything about the holiday until 10-15 years ago
7:40 Might be a good idea to proofread before publishing your videos 😬. Otherwise excellent stuff. Thanks for the education.
🤦🏾♂️ 😂
Yes-the unfortunate errors in the text-to-speech really harmed this excellent video.
It's not serious at all. Pay attention to the message.
And I don't fully credit Abe, for the freedom of our people because many of our people also fought and died, for freedom.we can still celebrate Juneteenth, but we must not let them determine how and when we do so.
Another’s episode of *Historical Truth’s *being told 2023‼️
Loving this one thanks for sharing very information blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Thank you
This video was interesting and appears to give a pretty good explanation for how Juneteenth became a holiday. What is missing is an appreciation of how unique and significant the movement to abolish slavery really was and is! It shouldn't be a suprise that things didn't just change overnight. What is seen now as hypocrisy was often just the fits and starts and natural contradictions that attend all profound changes in a society. Slavery has always been a near universal among humans from the dawn of time. It was found in Europe, Africa, India, Asia, and among the indigenous peoples of North and South America and the Pacific islands. There are many parts of the world where you can still find slavery and there are also many activities like sexual trafficking that for all practical purposes are little different from slavery.
The move to abolish slavery didn't begin until the British Slave Abolition Act in 1833. The Russians didn't emancipate their serfs until 1861. The word "Slave" originally is thought to have come from the word "slav" as in "slavic" people.
So glad I found your channel
I am a new subscriber as of today. I can see this as becoming one of my top 10 Essential channels.
Awesome vid dude!! Very informative 👏

We as a People have never been totally embraced by either "side" of this system. Keep the Knowledge coming, my Melanated Kinfolks. ✊🏼
Thank you! Essential historical video and should every Black person who wants and need to know should see this. Peace
Peace & Respect right back to you. ✊🏼
I’m white and really wanted to know. I think all colors need to know.
Keep up the good work brother
SLOW DOWN BROTHER!! Enunciate & speak clearly! I had to play it 4 times because so many of your words were running into each other! Orherwise it was quite informative.❤
Slow Down Brother is correct. He is reading so fast that is hard to even keep up within the first three minutes of this 12min video. This is not the only video that he does this. Historical facts should not be covered so quickly.
I like these videos.
But: Are the subtitles intentionally wrong as a joke? My neurodivergent brain gets hung up on the dissonance between the meaning and the incorrect subtitles. I pretty much have to look away just to get through the videos, sometimes. But then I lose out on the choice of visuals.... It's not a pleasant choice.
Great narration, nice work.
The issue that Santis and others have with CRT is partially (a good portion) is that it will tell the UNFILTERED truth. Versus an image that is portrayed.
Thank you for bringing these important segments of history to light. I've learned a great deal from you.
I really enjoy learning about Black history through your excellent videos!
One thing though, the hard-coded subtitles are often incorrect, and in this video at 7:40 "emancipation day" is written as "masturbation day". Other than the subtitles, your videos are excellent and I really appreciate your efforts!
I noticed that too. I see that on other sites using closed caption where they incorrectly spell words used by Black people. Maybe some computer genius could invent a program that is used to interpret the accent and common words of us Black people, especially those of us in the South.😊
Thank you for this video.
Legendary words of history in o know
Yes.
Our ancestors are happy
Great video the original cause of the Civil War was states rights vs the federal government laws and expensive tariffs put on the states is what started tensions to start the civil war. The slavery issue came later as a tactic to destabilize the confederacy by freeing slaves in the North to fight on the side of the Union. Abraham Lincoln never wanted to free the slaves but he had too to win the war. Blacks would escape from the South to help Aid the North for their freedom. Abraham Lincoln didn’t have the Logistics to send all the free black men back to Africa so after the Emancipation Proclamation the 13th amendment was ratified as law to abolish slavery and involuntary servitude unless punishments of law. Just thank whoever fought on the side of the Union for are rights today and the Civil Rights act of 1964 through public law 88-352 which is 28 pages giving non white citizens Constitutional rights
CAN'T SAY TO GOD THAT I'M FREE AT LAST.
Ah brother man slow up on the reading - trying to comprehend and follow … thank you for your exceptional work …. But pull the brakes on the words.
What's happening worldwide can be found in Genesis 15;13&14 Read that then look worldwide and see the Bible speak.
Man African Americans,black people have been thrown centuries of pure he'll here in American and still is . Made it the richest . Fought every war. The most loyal. Now , still fighting for
reparations. Unreal., unbelievable.
Reparations is a must win fight!!
Wow 😮
Auto caption around the 7:45 mark called it masturbation day...
Slavery wasn't about people getting hung from a tree, it was more about the people working for their pay which is the same thing we do today
Slavery was about hanging slaves.
Actually in 99% of cases, they weren't even paid in monetary wages. 😢
@@Jordi7174 and today we barely get paid. In 2023 minimum wage is still barely $10 in most places
@@PhillyDee215 you gotta take like 1.50$ from maybe 2$ wen u say 10 gotta take sum away cuz the cost of living is horrible and also we gotta get our own business fr
Huh
SINCE 1983. !!
Dallas,TX has been celebrating Juneteenth since 1980
@@darrickwhite1986 I should have pinged my time it was around 14:50, Basically there hasnt been a new federal holiday added since 1983
You weren’t a slave until afterwards.
"Slow down your words." You're reading so fast that you can hardly distinguish between sentences. Speak clearly and slow down your words. Historical facts are to important to rush them.
So only texas slaves were freed
I WILL NEVER REALLY CONSIDER JUNETEENTH AS A HOLIDAY FOR AMERICAN BLACK 🖤 FOLKS. 😢
I’m black and I usually like to learn about black history. But I gave you a thumbs down because you speak too fast and I can’t understand anything you are saying? Are all of your videos like this?
