Repost via . Happy Juneteenth friends! In case you aren't aware, June 19th marks the actual day enslaved people in America were freed.
Although Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation in January of 1863, there was resistance in Texas and slavery continued there for another 2.5 years, like nothing ever happened. On June 19th, 1865 a Union General arrived in Texas with enough troops to overpower the resistance and the remaining enslaved were finally freed. June 19th became an annual day of jubilant celebration and the name "Juneteenth" was coined.
Over the years, the importance of Juneteenth became stifled for many reasons, including the miseducation shared in classrooms which only cited Lincoln's 1863 proclamation as the formal end of slavery. Thankfully, there has been a resurgence of Juneteenth celebrations in recent history but it's still not widely known (granted, I didn't grow up in the US but I never learned about it in college and didn't hear the term until well into adulthood).
In 1980, Juneteenth became an official state holiday in Texas. I think it's time other states follow suit!

Repost from STOP. POLICE. FROM. MURDERING. PEOPLE.
Reposting this piece from 2016... Again... If you’re more outraged by the news of looting and rioting than you are by the police who murdered than you are part of the problem. Police have tough jobs and I acknowledge and respect that, but they need to be held more accountable for their actions when they MURDER PEOPLE. We can do better y’all. .

Repost from TL;DR - You should read this. ⁣
⁣
Every time a black person is killed by the police, or hunted down like an animal while running, or shot in the safety of their own home, it hurts. Deep down. It’s that sinking feeling right before I always say to myself “here we go again.” ⁣
⁣
But sometimes, I move on and after a few days life returns to normal. But sometimes, it just hits different.⁣
⁣
I was talking to a friend recently about why that may be. Why is it that sometimes, I get a little upset but other times, I find myself alone in my room in tears? I think it’s because in some cases, my sympathy truly becomes empathy. I can FEEL it. Those are the scenarios that I see myself in. The ones where I say to myself “damn, that could have been me.”⁣
⁣
It could have been me that had the police called on them for what someone thought was a counterfeit $20 bill. It could have be me that was pulled over and shot for reaching in my glove box. And it could have been me that was simply running down the street in a neighborhood that wasn’t “mine.” Those are the situations that hurt the most.⁣
⁣
While I know it’s typically done with the best of intentions, seeing a video/image of a someone that looks like you, begging for his life to someone that was supposed to protect him shared millions of time over the internet simply adds to the pain. Repeatedly saying to yourself, “that could have been me.” It’s heavy. It’s another weight that you have to carry as a black man living in America. It’s a burden we carry with us every day. ⁣
⁣
While you may forget as soon as the news stops covering it, or when the protests stop, I will not. Images like that are burned into the eyes of every black person living in this country. Every time someone calls 911 in a park or at grocery store or even at your own home.⁣
⁣
“That could have been me.”
