Juneteenth!

Dear (Your Personal Identifier Here) People,

I’m a black dude. Not sure if you knew that, but if not…SURPRISE!

Today is June 19th! In case you didn’t know, back in 1863 a little thing called the Emancipation Proclamation was passed in an attempt to weaken the southern military forces by declaring all of the slaves free. However, it wasn’t until June 19th, 1865 (2 Years Later) that the last remaining slaves were informed of their freedom in the great state of Filthy Ol Texas.

What does that day mean to me? It actually means a lot. I’ve never been the type to be bombastic with my afrocentricity, but people should know it exists. I’m 100% proud to be black. I don’t celebrate the 4th of July. Don’t get me wrong…I’ll slide through a cookout for a burger or two, but that’s about the gist of it. I’m not against the fourth in anyway. In realize the importance of the day to many of Americans. I just realize that when the US got that wonderful independence, my kind of people had to wait about 89 more years to hear about the concept of freedom. And then it took another 100+ years to actually start tasting it.

But I’m not here to bait anybody. I’m just here to say HAPPY JUNETEENTH to everyone that visits the site. I’m hoping that everybody enjoys their day and doesn’t do anything racist. I love you guys. Be good.

      • I need to actually plan my blogs again. I’ve been pulling these out the deepest parts of my ass lately. And I do mean the deepest. I’m talking the area on the other side of the tracks. Nobody ever wants to travel that deep…lol.

      • I want to travel to those deeper, innermost areas of your thoughts. You never know who you can touch or change someone’s perspective on a similar situation. We are spirits living a human experience after all.

    • Lol…you should’ve commented “First and Only.” Lol. I’m pretty sure I’m losing followers by the day now. Your blog is so popular! I’m gonna have to provide some incentives to get you to move over to The Thought Renaissance.

      • Well, the rules are no pleading for wishes, you can not wish to be God, cannot ask for love or bring love ones back from the dead, i.e. zombies. There is also the rule that you cannot ask for someone to die, but perhaps the rules are sketchy on making someone ill…lol

      • You can grant your own wishes through your own words of power. I know I have asked for someone loving and kind as myself for some time now, and the universe has made it that they have crossed my path. Words of power takes consciousness, because what you put out there in the universe will come back to you.
