Should Juneteenth be a holiday and should America recognize that slavery was a part of Its history and show and accept this truth as something America Is better than by a willingness to say I'm sorry For what the slaves went through by giving African Americans Juneteenth off work?
I believe it is time the people learn from other countries just what equality is. Here in Spain boat people from the Magreb countries and sup-Saharan Africa are taken in almost daily. The Africans who are black speak Castillano as though they were born here withno ghetto affectations whatsoever.
When I hear black English, those raised there, they sound no different fromthe white English.
Color is realy not anissue in most European countries, yet in the US the separation of peoples continues..
I believe there is a level of racisim in all peples in the US mainly due to the constan pointing out of races. When people do not want to assimilate they will not, and this breeds racism.
Do not make a holiday out of the shame of peoples from past epochs. Get over it.
My very best friend when I was about seven was hit by a car. I could seem him from y<dx, <nx he had ddddan enormouse bump on the right front of his forehead.. It frightenend me for his well-being. A nearby adult saw me crying and told me not to cry it was just a "nigger." I went into my house and prayed "God please forgive that man, he is not grown up." I wish all believed as children……..they certainly seem to in many countries.
