Blacks should be celebrating December 6 instead because that’s the date slavery was actually abolished.

 Happy Juneteenth. Take the chance to appreciate the day that black people were finally freed from slavery but also understand that we still have a long way to go. Truly without black people the world would be an increasingly worse place. #blackpride

Dawg don’t call us blacks. That’s derogatory. Also Dec. 6 was when it was signed true but the last legally recognized slaves were freed in Galveston, Texas June 19th, 1865

The reason Juneteenth exists is that the emancipation proclamation took years to actually implement. Juneteenth is when the last area of Texas not yet subject to the emancipation proclamation was freed. It’s really easy to google this.

U realize Juneteenth isn’t the celebration of the end of slavery…right? It’s a celebration of when the last slave got the news they were free. Also, don’t call us blacks…

It makes more sense to celebrate 12/6 or new years. I still don’t understand why y’all do it on the 19th lol. And i don’t remember this even being a thing until George Floyd happened or am I tripping?

I don’t mean it in a derogatory way. But I just feel like it’s like someone celebrating the day thier parents told them when they were born and not their actual birthday

You are a fantastic dipshit. How about mind your fucking business and let us do what we want? You could have fucking googled this.

The 13th amendment means nothing if there were still black people enslaved. At that point it was just a piece of paper.

It’s the same with July 4th. Sure it may mean a lot to you and others but to black people it was another getting beaten.

It’s not a celebration of the abolishment of slavery dude…it’s a celebration of when the last slaves were told they were free. Idk if yk this, but news traveled hella slow in the 1860s. As much as I love horses and horse back riding, they aren’t an efficient way of getting news across a state let alone the entire South.
