"Lawd a'mussy y'all, here comes that ol' Kwasi agin, always attacking our sacred Black institutions like the Church and Islam, and he even attacked our beloved Chriatmas. Now he's railing against Juneteenth. Ain't he got no respect atall for Black folks cherished things?"
Actually, I have tremendous respect and love for Black people and our culture. I'm one of us; I'm not a Black CON trying to please the euro by jumping things Black. I'm from the hood, born to a newly divorced Mother, in a rat and roach infested shack, po' as a chinch, who successfully reared 5 young'un on her own. That experience taught me early on to see life as it is, not as it is portrayed to be.
I'm not trying to spoil your Juneteenth fun; I'm trying to get us back on track because we have lost our way. For years, I have been teaching those who would listen that Juneteenth is based on erroneous historical premises, and that despite this fact, many Black folk tend to see Juneteenth as sort of a Black 4th of July. Little did I realize how true that was until I recently heard a representative on satellite radio talk about a Black-led National Juneteenth Commission that is pressing to have Juneteenth declared a national holiday, the Black Independence Day! This group of Negroes, who literally wear the euro red, white and blue across their bodies, are pushing the euro party line that Lincoln freed our Ancestors via his proclamation! That is an outright gross distortion of factual history as thoroughly documented in Lerone Bennett, Jrs. book, "Forced Into Glory: Abraham Lincoln's White Dream".
NowI could really support Juneteenth if we acknowledge and focus it on the historically verified facts that our own Ancestors took up arms and literally fought against the south for their freedom. But, can you imaging these Negroes asking the euro for a Black national Juneteenth holiday based on the history of Black people actually killing white men in the Civil War? Naw! they ain't got the "balls" to do that (pardon the expression) even IF they were inclined to do so.
We DON'T NEED A BLCK HOLIDAY AT ANY COST. Especially if it calls for demeaning the heroic contributions of our own Ancestors, and glorifying Lincoln instead! But, more likely, they buy into the "white lie" that they were taught in school that Lincoln was the Great Emancipator who set us free. Why is that? Why do we willingly believe lies instead of truth? It's similar to a new born infant who is reared on imitation, bottle-fed "milk" Similac, or cows milk. That child will learn to love that manufactured "milk" so much that if will vehemently REJECT its own mothers natural, nourishing, Creator-blessed breast milk, as well as reject its mothers own breast which is a vital part of her body out of which it came, for the fake bottle stuff! I'm trying to get us off the bottle and back to our selves, back to our own culture, back to our own history.
Thus, I have attached my proof that our Ancestors freed us, not Lincoln. Usually, I only send my research out on a fee basis, because it costs me time, money and effort to compilethese original papers. I may have shared parts of this essay with some of you before; others have never seen it. Read it, check out the information presented for your self. If you agree with it, then you should take the appropriate action. If you dis-agree with it, then feel free to attack it. But, if you do, I'm going to tell you like Shaq used to tell the opposing team on the court: "This lane belongs to ME! If you come down this lane, you better come strong or I'm going to make you eat that ball!"
