We're literally celebrating a holiday

On Juneteenth we should all Thank The West for eliminating Slavery. Though it was a great milestone in human history, there is still work to do. There is Still Slavery n Asia and Africa. We should encourage others to follow the lead of the west and eliminate slavery. We should also eliminate serfdom. Especially with the push of the Woke Oligarchy to force everyone into serfdom.

You can go right now to Haiti and buy a 14-year-old girl from her mother for 12 goats or 80 chickens.

They need to stop trying to capitalize on black people.

2023 Happy 157th Juneteenth Liberation Day Holiday Weekend, and Happy Father's Day Too.

Over 50% in NYC and just under 40% nationally Black pregnancies terminated.

What a ridiculous clip! A black woman saying she is just learning about the holiday. A (nameless) critique about mainstream brands attempting to recognize the holiday and mainstream it. A comment on how companies need to learn how to "strike the balance". The only thing missing is the Indeed ads for "diversity coordinators" for companies seeking to find answers to all these difficult questions! 😕

Not surprised at lack of history knowledge.

Why do they also involved Africa we are not Africans nor are we Immigrants. This is Foundational Black Americans homeland.

I've read up on the history of Juneteenth. It's an amazing journey, long and arduous. I support Juneteenth!

When you don't want to address real issues create a National Holiday!

Thats a made up stat and something you just assumed but cool if so...what does that have to do with Juneteenth??? Its a celebration of emancipation it has nothing to do with "knowing African heritage" and yes...thats what slavery does to people..

It's nice to have fun, but there's still 40 million slaves worldwide, many in the U.S. A quick web search will show. Maybe we should put our energy into fixing that.

@@sveoo6448 Exactly. We're celebrating freedom from slavery regarding only one group-- but not even raising awareness there's still tens of millions not free. In fact, the holiday makes people think slavery no longer exists at all. Like most everything else on mainstream news, they don't tell you the whole story. Not even close.

That sucks for them. Has nothing to do with these particular people AT ALL. Did you also ever stop to think about the fact that a considerable amount of those de-facto slaves also happen to be black as well? Particularly in the United States where the 13th Amendment's loop hole has been weaponized since the reconstruction to place black people especially prisoners into a position of modern de-facto slavery which also includes them in your "40-million" number. You do not care about any of those people though, and do nothing to quell modern slavery nor do you know anything about it. You just bring it up to spite ADOS. 😂

Suddenly Juneteenth which has been going on since 1866 just don't exist? Got it.

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.

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.
