@UnspokenDee @AzPetrich My point is people need to stop saying Juneteenth was the end of slavery when it wasn't. They should have left it as a Texas holiday where it belonged. If we want a national holiday, let's do a 13th Amendment day in December.

@DukeOfBeringia @AzPetrich While I do agree. Lincoln should have done more. Those states were non-confederate did not take part in the rebellion. It gave them room to make their malicious maneuvers before the 13th was ratified. But they were upfront about it. Texas was just devious.

Here to remind you again that Juneteenth isn't the celebration of the slaves being freed. It's the celebration of enslaved Texans finding out they were free TWO years after slavery was abolished....so.....UNTIL EVERYONE IS FREE, NO ONE IS FREE.

@cointel__bro Their ancestors probably sold your ancestors into Slavery... Also, Slavery was legal in New Jersey, Kentucky, and Delaware for 6 months after Juneteenth. Just sayin'

I went to the Juneteenth Celebration in majority Black Prince George’s County. I had to get the F🤬ck out of there! Why are there NIGERIANS mcing the event? And they are playing traditional Nigerian songs. WTF does this have to do with Juneteenth? The disrespect is too much.

@diananotdirty The child molester is your go-to?

Never forget the greatest entertainer of all time is Black American!! Happy Juneteenth

@RoyIsThaTruth As opposed to most other days?

imagine if every black person in the US didn’t go to work for Juneteenth . 😮‍💨 😈

@49ers Slavery was legal in New Jersey, Kentucky, and Delaware for 6 months after Juneteenth.... But ok.

This Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom, history, culture, and progress. We honor the resilience and legacy of those who came before us, celebrate the joy of today, and continue the journey toward a more equitable future. Happy Juneteenth ❤️🖤💚

@SluttiePanda Slavery was legal in New Jersey, Kentucky, and Delaware for 6 months after Juneteenth.

Juneteenth = Made up holiday to make black people feel important

@realStockes Maybe because Slavery was legal in New Jersey, Kentucky, and Delaware for 6 months after Juneteenth.... But ok.

In case you needed another reason to like the guy, Thomas Massie voted against making juneteenth a federal holiday.

@ingelramdecoucy Slavery was legal in New Jersey, Kentucky, and Delaware for 6 months after Juneteenth.... But ok.

The thing that annoys me about Juneteenth isn’t that it exists, like if they’d just said “hey, we’re making this niche regional Texas holiday a national thing” we could have had a conversation about that, but instead they just declared that it has always been a thing and if you admitted to never having heard about it before it means you’re racist

@4thOfJuly365 Slavery was legal in New Jersey, Kentucky, and Delaware for 6 months after Juneteenth.

Juneteenth is a fake-ass history holiday for people who hate the Fourth of July. Slaves were freed in 1865 by White men who died in the Civil War, not by some Texas messenger two years late. Stop pretending it's your independence day, parasites.

@Freexone_ Slavery was legal in New Jersey, Kentucky, and Delaware for 6 months after Juneteenth.... But f those slaves, I guess.

Juneteenth should be a paid holiday for all Black people

@SarahisCensored Slavery was legal in New Jersey, Kentucky, and Delaware for 6 months after Juneteenth.... But ok.

REMINDER! Before the libs decide to try and create their own definition of what Juneteenth is, allow me to help you all out with a short history lesson. It’s the day when black individuals found out that the first Republican President had signed the Emancipation Proclamation freeing them from the physical bondage of the Democrat Party. It was two years later, on July 4th 1867, that 150 of those same Black men met in Houston and established the Republican Party of Texas. The Democrats, in response, established the Ku Klux Klan. Today, the Democrats are economically enslaving Blacks and have turned inner city communities into modern plantations of welfare and economic dependence. Juneteenth is a celebration of why the Republican Party was established in 1854, the abolition of slavery. Only a flaming incompetent idiot would give the party of the donkey any credit for Juneteenth. Hope this helps!

@BookerGWash Slavery was legal in New Jersey, Kentucky, and Delaware for 6 months after Juneteenth.... But ok.

Juneteenth is not just about Black Texans. It is also about the Black soldiers who liberated themselves, kicked Confederate ass across the Deep South for 2+ years, marched to Galveston, Texas, and liberated folks there, too. Nothing in Black history happened in a vacuum.

@FrankieVtotheD Also... Slavery was legal in New Jersey, Kentucky, and Delaware for 6 months after Juneteenth.

Juneteenth is for Black Americans, specifically Black Texans. You are welcomed to host an event but if it is not catered to Black Americans & Black American culture, don’t label it a Juneteenth event. So no, afrobeats/dancehall/etc. should not be the focus of Juneteenth events

@SenSanders Slavery was legal in New Jersey, Kentucky, and Delaware for 6 months after Juneteenth.... But ok.

Today, on Juneteenth, we remember the lasting legacy of slavery. We recommit to creating a future where Black Americans live free from oppression and to rooting out systemic racism wherever it exists. That is not the work of a single day, but of every day until it is reality.

@prmade313raised Slavery was legal in New Jersey, Kentucky, and Delaware for 6 months after Juneteenth.... But ok.

Juneteenth is more than a celebration…it is a reminder of the strength, resilience, and perseverance of Black people. Even after enduring slavery, segregation, discrimination, and every obstacle placed in our path, we continue to rise, create, lead, and inspire. Today we honor those who came before us, those who fought for freedom they were denied, and those whose sacrifices made our progress possible. We celebrate Black excellence, Black culture, Black joy, and the unbreakable spirit that has carried us through generations. Freedom was delayed…but our strength never was. Black history is American history. Black excellence is forever. Have a beautiful Juneteenth, and continue walking in your power, purpose, and pride. ✊🏾🖤❤️💚

@Cjpearson False. Slavery was legal in New Jersey, Kentucky, and Delaware for 6 months after Juneteenth.... But ok.

Happy Juneteenth, America! A day celebrating when Republicans forced the Democratic Party to free their slaves.

@mehdirhasan Probably because Slavery was legal in New Jersey, Kentucky, and Delaware for 6 months after Juneteenth.... But ok.

Just a reminder of who he was

@Southside_Gunn Slavery was legal in New Jersey, Kentucky, and Delaware for 6 months after Juneteenth.... But ok.

Juneteenth is our day… don’t let anyone forget that

@KathyHochul Slavery was legal in New Jersey, Kentucky, and Delaware for 6 months after Juneteenth.... But ok.

The joy, pride, and community felt at the Buffalo Juneteenth Parade is a powerful reminder of why we honor this history. It’s always the right choice to recognize and celebrate freedom as we march forward in our fight for racial justice. Happy Juneteenth, New York! 🖤❤️💚
