Juneteenth (June 19th) is not a "holiday celebrating when news of the end of slavery finally reached Texas." No. Just no. Y'all make it sound like network latency! Like we were playing Fortnite, and all the Black players were lagging.🤡
Juneteenth is when the racist state of Texas took another very public L. Texas did everything it could to keep slavery going as long as possible. They gave up land to Oklahoma, so they could be below the slavery line. The Alamo was a victory for abolitionists.
Texas should look like Kid's hair. But it looks like Play's hair. Because Texas wanted to hold onto that racism just a little bit longer.
The Alamo was also a fight to preserve Texas's right to keep slavery going. They lost.
You can't just keep lying and changing how history is taught to hide the shamefulness of racism. If you want to be remembered as the good guys, maybe try being the good guys!
Otherwise, you'll just be embarrassed when your kids and grand kids learn the truth about you.
They teach you about the Alamo. But they don't teach you about the Nueces massacre. At the start of the civil war, almost a hundred armed German Texans (who opposed slavery♥️🙏🏿) tried to flee South to Mexico, so that they could make it over to New Orleans. The Confederate soldiers caught them and massacred them.
Robstown in Nueces County, was one of the last places to begrudgingly give up slavery 2 years after the emancipation proclamation.
This is the logo of the Robstown football team today.🤡
Why are white Texans who died bravely fighting to keep slavery going remembered as heroes? But white Texans who died bravely fighting to oppose slavery, forgotten and not talked about? 🤔
What are we really celebrating?
"Everyone was racist back then!" No. No they weren't. Stop saying that.
Sorry, we can't touch that subject on Mastodon in case the mods suspend our accounts.
Have you got any black or white fur cat pictures to share?
