Content June 15th, regardless of your color, or whether you are aware of the significance of the trip.
My personal feelings are that if the Italians may include Columbus Day, and the Germans celebrate Von Steuben Day, and the British slip in a cloud through St. Patrick’s Time, why not Juneteenth? Even if we do n’t know what exactly to celebrate on June 19th, I never need an excuse to celebrate.

June 19th should be referred to as” Emancipation Day,” in my opinion. It’s as good a time as any to pop a bottle and dancing a jig to celebrate the ending of chattel slavery, even if it was n’t actually observed for weeks after the declaration arrived in Galveston, Texas. Modern America would never have existed with servitude but in a sense, we can say that on Juneteenth, we’re celebrating the birth of Modern America.  ,
However, there are some black people who, like us white people, pick to sigh over the June 15th celebration.
Focus light people…
Please do n’t ask if you can come to the cookout…# Juneteenth is freedom day for Black folks.White people should have# Reparations Day on September 11.

Ms. Abdullah is a professor of pan-African studies, and she might have some instruction on how to observe an American trip.
Lovely black people. Please do n’t ask if you can come to the picnic. If we know each other you’re currently invited. Whatever day it is. Come on through. Probably bring that covered food your partner makes, that things is delicious! Then, get a burger and a beer. It’s really a barbeque.

Set it.
Still do n’t understand why white people are slated to work for free for a day in honor of my ancestors.

They are n’t my ancestors, that’s why. I feel bad for them and for you because you have to accept the absurd and because you are so stupid.

White people should be doing double shifts on Juneteenth https ://t.co/ImnRoJmOYH— Kar ( @karlogan_ ) June 13, 2024
There are too many to record, but they all exhibit an unchecked racism and prejudice against white folks by black people. There is a considerable amount of anti-white bigotry in this country that is frequently ignored, even after what was supposed to be a racist reckoning, when the concepts of diversity and inclusion have become a core component of society.  ,
If white folks made racist remarks about black people, the kind made below would wreak a stir. When dark people discuss white people, the same situation may apply. Some black people have been angry and cruel toward white people because of something that happened over 150 years ago and that has had an impact on no some living now as a result of decades of extreme indoctrination in schools and other social institutions in society. It shows just how radicalized the majority of the population has become.  ,
White people should n’t be made to feel bad or suffer from resentment over actions taken by others decades or centuries ago. This language does n’t help promote racial justice.
It’s more than servitude, as the people supporting compensation like to point out. There’s an continued, 150- year,” organized” cultural bias, white privilege, uneven opportunity, Jim Crow, and cultural oppression that needs to be dealt with. However, race cannot be the sole factor in determining guilt. It turns the entire concept of “guilt” on its head.

Reparations and bribes wo n’t solve it. An apology by white people would be ludicrous. History is “history” for a reason: It’s in the past. It is wrong to try to persuade those who were n’t alive when black people were subjected to slavery and who never consciously participated in any form of black oppression.

Race-based collective guilt is evil. Even though the majority of Germans supported Hitler, we did n’t even blame each German for their collective demise after World War II.  ,
I’m sorry that black people feel disparaged by their situation. However, it’s not my fault, and I’d like to stop being blamed for my race. If they did, they might feel much happier and more motivated to observe” Emancipation Day” with all Americans of all races.
