for my non clickers, juneteenth is a holiday to commemorate the ending of slavery in the US...tho i like to fold global slavery into the get down as well.
slaves in Texas didnt find out we were free until 2 years after the emancipation proclamation (NO black ppl came down from Louisiana to tell us? smh)
and if you think you partied in your life? imagine THAT party.
and i know some people are going to say how can you celebrate now in the wake of all thats happened?
motherfucker, thats precisely WHY we should party! that bowl cut having bastard did what he did because he felt that Black ppl were taking over the country...guess what?
hes right! - og maco
we aint taking it over NOW its BEEN ours. our ancestors literally paid the price in blood, sweat and tears for centuries. its ours. from sea to shining sea. and today?
we remember them. and we celebrate them. because had they not done what they did? had that ancestor NOT gone thru the abject debasement they did...? WE wouldnt be here.
so you gatdamn right we gonna party.
in whatever way you see fit.
personally im desperately trying to find a rebel flag to take & burn.
but you do what you do.
denmark vesey we remember you. harriet tubman we remember you. fannie lou hamer, we remember you.
