Juneteenth is about Black people who were officially technically supposed to be freed from enslavement. Nobody else. Nothing else. It's not a POC day. It's not a "freedom for all" day. It's Black folk, Black culture, Black emancipation, SPECIFICALLY. Any other observation for Juneteenth is gentrification.

[neshatriumphs]

Your Juneteenth reminder that just because they made it a "national holiday," it's still not. It's for the celebration of Black Americans being freed from slavery, finally.

It's from Texas. We been welcoming other descendants of the enslaved. But we close the gate and draw the line with "everybody."

Bringing this back on Juneteenth because making Black observations a national holiday didn't and doesn't end racism and the nonblacks are more insufferable than they have been in my lifetime about Black American people and our things.

Happy Juneteenth to those whose lives would not be actively free without the day happening. See the rest of you tomorrow.

Rest in peace, Cryrus Carmack Belton.

Fucking 14-years old shot in the Fucking back after chasing him over 100 yards with a damn gun. GOD, I swear this country can be so fucking damned exhausting as an black person. (-_- )

This is Latasha Harlins all over again.

so you can shoot a black child in the back as he's running away and get away with it with zero consequences, but god forbid a black child defend himself, because that'll land him thirty-five fucking years in jail—which is basically a life sentence. half of his life will be over when his sentence is up. all the fake talk of progress in this country has just been a way to silence black people for speaking out against the countless horrific injustices we're forced to experience, from microagressions to outright murder. you literally cannot go a day without hearing about another black person falling victim to systemic racism and then having to listen to people justify why they deserved it. and we're supposed to hold no animosity whatsoever as we grin and bear it.

This has nothing to do with Judaism but the murder of Cyrus Carmack-Belton and Rick chow somehow being found not guilty makes me so incredibly upset. It’s so sad how often the world reminds us that it does not care for black children or people at ALL. This isn’t even the first time a black kid has been killed in a store because somebody THOUGHT they were stealing. RIP to Cyrus and all of the black children who have had their lives taken due to racism💔

So earlier today I was at a church event my parents made me go to lol. There was a section where they kinda talked about how the church has progressed over the years and they brought up a Hebrew word “dayenu” which mean “it would have been enough” and it’s said/sung at Passover’s but they were using it in a Christian context. I was wondering if this would be considered some sort of appropriation?

Today is Yom HaShoah which is holocaust remembrance day. Rest in peace to all the souls lost 🤍

Hi, I made this account to kind’ve think out loud and document my journey toward Judaism. I have been on tumblr a while but wanted to make a separate blog to have a safe space to ask questions, learn, and keep track of everything. I’m very early in the process and don’t have everything figured out yet but I’m taking this very seriously. If you are in a similar path or have resources for me I’d love to hear from you :)
