Juneteenth is a U.S. holiday commemorating black emanicipation and power that originates from Galveston, Texas, where, on this day in 1865, Union General Gordon Granger proclaimed all slaves in Texas, more than 250,000 people, to be free.

Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of slave abolition in the United States.

    This is a hard question. How do we teach empathy to white people?

    I think the best way to combat this is to bring up white people from history who were actually based and not racist. Then explain if someone from 70 years ago during peak segregation/slavery/genocides/colonialism felt these were bad then there’s no excuse now. Basically having a list of white heros(ew) for them to look up to.

    They need their egos boosted a bit and can’t relate that well to ethnic folk.
