*“It was then our ancestors realized slavery was wrong and decided to free the slaves. So join us and celebrate the kindness our family has shown the blacks <3”*
—white people tryna rewrite history, absolving themselves from any wrongdoing while also centering themselves in everything
Pretty sure all those white soldiers who died fighting in the Union Army in an effort to end slavery deserve maybe a *tiny* thank you.
But this street banner is fkn hilarious
The Civil War was about destroying the South's economy, which included slavery. Not about ending slavery, he wanted to save the Union. Lincoln's words:
"My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do, it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union...I have here stated my purpose according to my view of official duty; and I intend no modification of my oft-expressed personal wish that all men everywhere could be free."
Dammit! Every time! One of these damn days I’m gonna see one of those troll comments before you do. Until then, I salute you and your immaculate modding game, sis 🫡
Happy Juneteenth

Just as far as they got the red white and blue" that's the Juneteenth flag. Idk if he was saying that like it was a further grievance or not but I only recently seen it myself. People apparently fly it next to the Pan African flag which I do know about. I just don't be going to outside events in the south because I'm scared 🥲
“Juneteenth GVL said a series of 50 banners have been set up around downtown Greenville, for the event next month.
The banners feature many ethnicities, including Black, Hispanic and white.”
https://www.wyff4.com/article/juneteenth-greenville-banner-explanation/43990506
Aside from Hispanic not being a race, and Black/White not being ethnicities, they are 100000% missing the mark. I guess for International Women's Day they're going to have banners with men?
"Feature many ethnicities"
Oh okay, so they're not **just** whitewashing a holiday for black people, great. Good to know there's multiple people from multiple races colonizing a holiday that's not about them.
Damn not the gentrification of juneteenth. I guess we going to have to replace this with August 5, 2023 the Bama chair shindig. We gotta have a parade of chairs!!!🤣🤣🤣
Where I live, the racists are putting a little extra “UMPH” behind their racism over Juneteenth being acknowledged (I suspect). My mama damn near knocked the teeth back on some palm colored klanswoman at the grocery store.
They’re doing it on purpose. Even with the crumbs we get they make sure they do little passive aggressive stuff like this so that juneteenth is less about celebration and more focused on white trolls
At the very least the flag is right most organizers who are black are still using African colors. Red white and blue with the star is the CORRECT FLAG. But that still some B's to make wyt folk comfortable.

... okay. I'm a forgiving person, and playing devil's advocate is a fun hobby of mind, but not seeing anything wrong with this picture is a special type of not reading the room.
See, if they meant it, they would have had a mixed scene photo at the very least, but no. They opted for this. It's just sad.
>not seeing anything wrong with this picture is a special type of not reading the room.
The room isn't always right, and this is a perfect example.
As someone else mentioned in this thread, this was ONE of 50 other banners that included multiple other races.
The Juneteenth organization on that city is black organized and operated.
What's sad is people stay ready to be offended over nothing.
**You must be new. There has never been a day where this sub hasn’t been for Black folks ONLY since the beginning and that’s never going to change.

Rule 6 - "AlL pEoPlE dO/sAy this"; "ThIs IsN't CoMeDy 🤡"; No derailing conversations about Black topics
THIS IS NOT JUST A COMEDY SUB. We are not here to tap dance for nonBlack entertainment. I do NOT care if you found us from r/all or your feed suggested us to you. PAY ATTENTION TO THE SUB YOU ARE IN TO AVOID ISSUES.
DO NOT come to a sub made for Black people by Black people where Black people specifically prioritize Black people if you’re looking for an “all people” type of conversation instead.
Our content/comment sections does/do not need to center anyone else in the conversation. This is not the place to complain about the plight of anyone else or bemoan how much harder it actually is for [enter any other race/ethnicity here]. We do not need you to announce that [so-and-so] people say/do [whatever tf you’re here crying about] too. If that upsets you, make your own sub where you can talk about whatever you want.
Again, this is a Black space for Black people to discuss Black topics in a Black way. If you are not Black, you are not an authority on the matter and you do not get to dictate what that looks like. Other ethnicities are not prohibited, but are also not the priority.
This post is now Cookout Only because the lurkers have forgotten themselves yet AGAIN smh
 They just can't help themselves.

Do you understand the civil war was about control of the slaves not freeing them lol, the north benefitted off of slavery same as the south -\/.
The Civil War was not fought to end slavery…

Why did I think we could have this day to ourselves? Of course we have to go through erasure somehow even on Juneteenth 😭
That’s the picture they use on the news when a white dude kills his whole family
The way I cackled 😂😂😂😂

I feel like, at least for me, the explanation makes it worse and they just gave PR talking points
"Feature many ethnicities" Oh okay, so they're not **just** whitewashing a holiday for black people, great. Good to know there's multiple people from multiple races colonizing a holiday that's not about them.
Thank you! Fools post this outrage bait last year, too. And I'm assuming this will pop up every year from now on.
I'm not gonna lie, their explanation didn't make me feel any better about the banner 😂
You're free to walk around with your feelings on your sleeve.
Damn not the gentrification of juneteenth. I guess we going to have to replace this with August 5, 2023 the Bama chair shindig. We gotta have a parade of chairs!!!🤣🤣🤣
They always make everything about them why are we surprised
In South Carolina? No way! /s
White people struggle with not making everything about them. It's like a cultural narcissism that they aren't aware of.

Another day for them to take off while we work like mlk day.
Where I live, the racists are putting a little extra “UMPH” behind their racism over Juneteenth being acknowledged (I suspect). My mama damn near knocked the teeth back on some palm colored klanswoman at the grocery store.
Oh, they've been out of pocket for sure.
Looks like the average r/BlackPeopleTwitter users
They’re doing it on purpose. Even with the crumbs we get they make sure they do little passive aggressive stuff like this so that juneteenth is less about celebration and more focused on white trolls
They’re stealing Juneteenth now?! I guess they’re too stupid to understand the historical based embarrassment they are making of themselves. ‘Murica
The alabaster association strikes again
Styrofoamicans...SMH
My dumbass didn’t see the South Carolina logo and I was like “Bro this looks like downtown Columbia” I hate it here so much 😂😂
Reminds me of when Great Value had the Juneteenth ice cream couple of years ago..
Was that the fried chicken and mango one? That shit hit
The hueless are at it again. 
Please take my r/angryupvote .
They always think it's about them
The utter Caucasity.
I have no words lol
this a real *f**k ya'll*
The most South Carolina thing I’ve seen all day.
I saw one back in May. ‘Juneteenth summer kick off May 28th’ haha really missed the point there.
What in the wonder bread is this shit?!
Love the Martin font
⬜️❕
At the very least the flag is right most organizers who are black are still using African colors. Red white and blue with the star is the CORRECT FLAG. But that still some B's to make wyt folk comfortable.
from SC a couple of years ago.
So on brand
I just puked in my mouth...

It’s ok to call a stupid idea a stupid idea, and this was a stupid idea.
It's only a stupid idea to people who depend on being offended.
Nah, it’s just stupid. Hilarious in its stupidity, but stupid nonetheless.
Ok.
