europe spent 400 years using slave labour in colonies to build their wealth, rebranded this extraction model in the 20th century and somehow their citizens still believe their social conditions is a result of some superior intellect rather than inhuman violence
Brazilians were on here a few months ago disparaging African Americans claimed they have more celebrations & are closer to African heritage. Now we have a holiday created by us for us & we're supposed to make it about everyone??? Y'all want ownership of it too?ππ
So the culture that African Americans had to create and passed down thru the years is propaganda? Culture that's that's been stolen and commercialized due to white supremacy? Y'all say anything
Happy Juneteenth to every Black American descendant of slavery. Ours is a story of triumph over adversity and I am so proud to share it with so many beautiful people.
@_faithskingdom Yes, everyone can celebrate Juneteenth. It's a federal holiday that benefits everyone. But you must recognize its roots and commemorate it's origins and recognize African Americans in the process.
@_faithskingdom This whole year I've seen everybody & y'all momma tell African Americans we have no culture & contribute nothing. Y'all distance yourselves from us so now we have a holiday specific to the AA experience & history, y'all want to strip it from us. Black Texans specifically.
@julsadventures I can tell you not from Chicago cause you'd know what stations ppl typically perform at. Chicago station never has performors cause it's narrow & busy.
A 1-year-old in Mississippi was shot and killed by police after a cop opened fire on a vehicle involved in an alleged shoplifting incident at a Walmart. An adult was also critically wounded.
A witness says they saw 2 women leaving the store with an infant, Kohen Kartier Wiley, and a box of diapers. Relatives deny that Wiley's mother and aunt were shoplifting, with some saying they had a digital receipt on a phone.
This is a national tragedy.
The officers knew about Kohen Kartier Wiley being in the car before they opened fire.
Firing into a moving vehicle in a crowded parking lot over a non-violent offense is both criminally reckless and completely unjustified.
RIP Kohen Kartier Wiley
Children should be taught reading, writing, math and ACCURATE history.
Thatβs not happening in schools now.
Theyβre being taught that white men destroyed their civilization which is a blatant lie.
I grew up hating white people, and the scary part is that millions of young Black men are being brainwashed into that exact same mindset today.
The education system feeds Black kids a steady diet of historical resentment until their undeveloped brains start picturing every single white person as the enemy.
Blaming the white man for modern community struggles is a trap that keeps people broke and angry.
Wanda Sykes says Bill Maher confronted her after she dissed him on the Golden Globes stage in January:
"He was like, 'What was that about?' And I was like, 'It's a joke, Bill.' He's like, 'Well, I mean, it wasn't even a joke.' I said, 'Oh, no, I heard laughter. It was clearly a joke.'" https://t.co/6Cicgmo7TZ
@_munchkinn Who the fuck are you to tell Black Americans what to do on a Black American holiday??
It's giving white ppl telling Black folks to "make your own" then colonize it anyways.
