Happy Juneteenth

When I woke up this mornin', I heard a distubin' sound.
I said, When I woke up this mornin', I heard a disturbin' sound!
What I heard was the jingle-jangle of a thousand lost souls! I'm talkin' 'bout the souls of mortal men and women, departed from this life.
Those lost angry souls roaming, unseen on the earth, seekin' to find life they'll not find, because it's too late! Tooooo late. Yeah! Too late, for they'll never see again the life they choose not to follow.
Don't be lost when your time comes!
Don't be lost when your time comes!
For the day of the Lord cometh as a thief in the night!
 
What's interesting too is that on probably every college campus there are student groups for every race and nationality except the lowly Caucasian. There's also several women's groups. No men's groups. Definitely no white guy groups.
It's called the Dean's List

As much as colleges and universities preach diversity it's my opinion they would be better off getting rid of the groups that put everyone, except white guys, into their own little boxes and have groups based on interests. No more East Asian Civil Engineering Group. Just Civil Engineering Student Group

Statement. When it comes to race and racism. Sports is the great equalizer.

As a team no one cares if you are white red black or yellow just be good and beat the other team.

I learned of Juneteenth back in the late 80s from my wrestling partner. He had just moved from Texas and was surmised we didn't celebrate it.

In my opinion we should not celebrate it.
We should not celebrate black history month
Asain America month
Native American month. Which really isn't a month anyway.

the celebrations or what ever they are makes us more separate than the same.
We are all Americans. Forget everything else.
Not saying to forget your heritage ordont celebrate individualism.

why should blacks or asains or reds have a month?they are the same important part of our society 365 not 30

Ps I am more red than anything else. Don't want a month. Want the whole damn year.

Don't forget we have an entire month dedicated to perverse deviate sexual behavior to be proud of.

A sinful lifestyle that can only be made right by turning away from it and no longer doing it. This is if you believe in God.


My great grandmother on my fathers,fathers side was supposedly full blooded Cherokee.
Though my grandfather and father still had piercing blue eyes.

Everybody else is German.

I would never in a million years claim any type of Native American status.


The truth is if you go back far enough we are ALL related.

Interesting take and I appreciate your feedback.

I don't think eliminating the holidays and celebrations will "meld us tighter, as a nation"; because, while some may think this next statement is speculation or even racist--- until we can 'fix what's being taught AT HOME' the divide will remain. This is in every home in the nation.

People teach their children or family their opinions and that is why there is division because of the fear/anger/shame/hate that someone in the house/family has for others that aren't like them.

Until we fix that - it doesn't matter if you take away every holiday or celebration - our mentalities need to be cleansed...

We have never met but I consider you a friend. Assuming you are black?

Does having February as a month mean anything for you?


If it does PM me and we can continue this conversation

Giving a month to a race is wrong. Give 12 months to Americans and what ever race you are.

I don't recall my parents teaching me to hate anyone.

I was born in the first 100 days of the first Eisenhower administration in the city of Champions. My wife and I are corporate brats, much like military kids are army brats. Interestingly, we live together in each of our 25th addresses. I'm Yankee. She is Southern. We have seen lots of families including our own, all over the country. We've lived on both coasts and in between.

Neither of us experienced any form of racism 'being taught' in any household growing up or since. In fact it was quite the opposite. It doesn't exist. There's nothing to fix. White people are simple folk that live and let live, and want to be left alone. The ones that don't are recent generations that have had their minds and souls crushed by the phenomenon we call 'education', happy-talk for marxism.

Thirty years ago, we thought nothing of buying a lot next to a black family and building our home there. Years later we relocated and bought another home, this time between two black families. Utterly horrible neighbors. Bought another home in another neighborhood, this time next to another black family. No plan here, just luck of the draw. These people, while on the outside were Ward & June Jefferson, turned out to be another horror story. He (Lets call him Bob) regularly beat the @#$% out of his wife. His son was forbidden from seeing his kids so his kids lived with Bob and his punching bag. Bob abused his grandchildren in ways that wouldn't occur to white people. Occasionally Bob would bring home a puppy, nice puppies, expensive puppies, and abuse the hell out of them. Bob's grandsons are all growed up now. Bob III is 21ish and serving life for 1st degree murder - blow'd up somebody at a party, and on and on and on. Bob sold and moved. We don't know where he buried his punching bag. Bob sold to (lets call her Zelda) an entitled nasty single black , er, woman who regularly 'entertains' a variety of 'gentlemen'. She immediately told us we should sell our house and move. Since then the house on our other side sold to another black family. Similar sentiment. I could elaborate. I won't. Suffice to say, this was once a very nice golf neighborhood. Now it ain't.

The only racism I see in America comes from blacks and their shills. Our neighbors hate us. I didn't know what hate is until I met these creatures. But I'm learning.

The 'schools' breed this. It expands exponentially with each generation. Obama set race relations back 200 years. The George Floyd extravaganzas another 200. The only thing that is going to change it is y'all need to fix your houses and eliminate the bull@#$% being taught at home and in the 'schools'.
 
Blazing Saddles taught me not to associate with the Irish.
Yep. There is that advice I got from Mel Brooks and Austin Powers taught me not to like the lousy, stinking Dutch.

It was a joke.
You mean you’ve never heard the expression “white guys can’t jump”????
Or maybe you just missed the part I put in bold which was your opening remark?…”Vincent, I'll jump in here.”

I like the way Morgan Freeman put it.

Mike Wallace’s eyes look black! It’s true! The Jews are the devil!
This should be in the TV show Paranormal Caught on Camera.!



What a stupid question by Wallace. “Then how do you get rid of racism”?
You can start by getting rid of black history month.

That is a great interview! WOW!!!

Yes @BLITZ we are friends and I am of a chocolate hue...

The month, in particular, doesn't mean as much as it use to - I understand Morgan Freeman's answer to Mike Wallace; some AAs, choose to 'want to honor the achievements that are overlooked in the lesson books of elementary/middle school/high school/college'. I get that too.

Here's my honest take, as I have never really pulled punches on my thoughts, if we had a school curriculum that was well-rounded and not skewed (this is another topic that might beat the Dri Archer thread) - I think many people, regardless of their race, would actually feel included.

As a veteran, I took an oath to protect EVERY American regardless of their beliefs - we are honored twice a year for those sacrifices. We celebrate our President's w/ a day. As a country, we celebrated the 4th of July - for, er, ah, independence (from England). I can go on and on but I'm sure my point is being made.

How many of you have heard the statement "40 acres and a mule"? I always wondered 'what would America have been like - had the government given those slaves, each, the 40 acres and a mule?' But then I ask myself - what did the government promise the Native Americans after they took the land from them? Do you see the vicious circle that has been created? In short, the Native Americans were here first. Fact. Christopher Columbus (what a joke of a story his is) and the first frontiers bamboozle them to give up the land and then they (not the Native Americans) import slaves and indentured servants to work the land - moreso the slaves.

So, how could the government promise 40 acres and mule to the slaves if the land truly should have been given back to the Native Americans???

Yeah, obliterate ALL of the damn holidays - we don't deserve them...

Interesting that you bring that up. Circles back to the OP.

At the end of the war, General Sherman, of no political affiliation I'm aware of, issued 'General Order 15' which was to allocate lots of former confederate lands (not to exceed 40 acres) to newly freed slaves to have something on which to build their lives. Further, he ordered the army to loan each recipient a mule for the obvious. Lincoln's successor Andrew Johnson, a $#@&^%$ dim rescinded the order. Poof! No acres. No mules for you people. The true spirit of the dims. Then and now.

Why, again, do AAs vote for dims?

Oh Vincent, that is a touching story (from 1995)...

The only racism I see in America comes from blacks and their shills.

I had to take a moment and let this sink in---because I initially took it as ******* racist; but, thick skin, so I'll respond.

Before I go on a tangent, I was playing Madden 25 on my Playstation 5 today and I choose to play a game online using our beloved Steelers and I was matched up w/ a young child, who was obviously Caucasian. How do I know? I usually play some smooth reggae in the background, not too loud, but it calms me and the dogs.

The kid, let's call him "Billy", turns his mic on and instead of greeting me with "hello" or "what's up?"; Billy says, "turn that jungle nigger music off".

Let that sink in.

I didn't even respond. I just played the game and beat him soundly. 45 seconds before the game ended - I turned on my mic and asked Billy, "why did you think it was ok for you to say, "turn that jungle nigger music off"? He responded, "my dad said that is ok for me to say that to all of you".

Now, as I said before, things are being taught INSIDE of our homes that continue to feed the fire of racism, in 2025. Yes, in 1995, there were many radical AAs, who were dealing w/ a lot and I make no excuse for those in your story; but their "shill"??? Not every AA is a con man or swindler. Some of us are quite educated and would like to just 'be a man/woman' not a Black man/woman.

Your last paragraph crosses a line that I would rather not respond to.

These days Black history month seems to come and go without much fanfare.

1995? I don't follow.

That behavior didn't exist when we were young. Or when our kids were young.. As I said, it is recent. What can I say? @$$holes beget @$$holes. @$$holes gonna be @$$holes. Although, I would add that Whitey doesn't own assholehood. It's an equal opportunity.

I' stand by the last paragraph. It is my personal observation. Little Billy is a case in point. Its OK to disagree. We can still be friends.
 
It's kinda funny I am Cherokee Indian, NOT Native American just plain American, I do not need a month dedicated to celebrate my heritage and I don't think anyone else does either this includes the LBTQTRMLBBTTXOP or what ever the hell they are called anymore. I am not white nor I am I a person of color That being said I don't give a rats *** what anyone thinks about my opinion as a matter of fact it's really none of my business as to what anyone else thinks of me...... My Cherokee Grandmother thought me that..

The problem is people today really don't want to know the truth about racism in this country so I'm gonna lay it out for you. Racism is nothing more then propaganda for our government to use to keep us fighting and separated from each other. I grew up in a almost all black area went to a elementary school where I was the closet thing to a white guy, JR high mostly black, high school about 50/50 black/white bet you can't guess who I hung out with. I dated black girls went to a lot party's that were all black except me, my best friend from third grade to this very day.. black dude who is the best PERSON I have ever had the privilege to know and call brother.

Now here is the kicker I was a teenager in the 70s graduated in 79. my black friends and I would party like crazy and words like redskin, chief, injun, scalper ect were a lot of "nic names" I got. never offended me but I also never got beat up or lost a friend over throwing back **** like spear chucker, porch monkey or nigger. we didn't wear our feelings on our sleeves and what was good for the goose was good for the gander. Black comedians can get on stage and call other races anything they damn well please and all is good, let a white person do that and this country loses it's mind, whats the difference?

I dated the most beautiful girl you could imagine when I was in high school and she just happened to be black. My senior year I got jumped by several black dudes basically because I was with this girl. long story short it was my black friends that jumped in and saved my ***. Later we was all smokin weed and and joking when one of them said that I got jumped not because I was a damn Indian boning a black girl but because everyone know's "Injuns" Got huge peckers and I was ruining the black girls for the rest of them. we still laugh about that when we get together.

I guess my point in all this drunk rambling is that we are all the same.....People, just people. so why does anyone need a month of separating themselves from everyone else? The bottom line is this, if you're a ****** person you're a ****** person color doesn't mean a thing. if words bother you maybe you should look in the mirror you may just be the problem. my question to those of a dark pigment on this board is this. does the word nigger offend you when other black people say it or just when someone of a lighter complexion does. My life long friends say that if it doesn't offend you in a rap song or when another black says it, it shouldn't when someone else does, and if it does you're just using it as a crutch to hold over their head.

I don't personally look at people as Native American, Mexican American, White Americans or African American. All I see is Americans, Good Americans and bad Americans but Americans all the same. Any one of you can come to Warriors house break bread and drink fire water anytime you want.

you want something to be offended about it should be when someone bogart's the joint. puff puff pass dick heads.

Warriors has a lot more wise **** to pass onto to all you cretins but I can't drink again till Thursday. Oh ya **** dunk Coolie long live drunk Warriors.
