Celebrate #JuneteenthJoy with The Blackout.

Juneteenth is a day of Black American joy and celebration. It honors the emancipation from slavery in the United States. 

We want to see what makes you joyful, Black Tumblr. With very many of us processing grief, loss, and trauma, making space for joy is vital. Especially as we continue social distancing measures into the summer.

This Friday, June 19th, use the tag #JuneteenthJoy along with #Blackout and #BlackoutDay to share your smiles, your strength, and your art and music. Anything that makes you happy. 

We are also committing to donating $19 dollars to 19 organizations and bail funds and challenging our allies to do the same. Stay tuned for our Juneteenth list on Friday. 

Don’t forget to use #JuneteenthJoy on Friday!

reblog to spread the word.

On June 19, 1865, the enslaved African-Americans in Galveston, Texas, finally learned the news that they were a free people, nearly three years after President Lincoln had signed the Emancipation Proclamation.

On abc’s Blackish season 4 premiere, the The Roots give a perfect explanation of why we celebrate Juneteenth. 🇺🇸

1973. Some things never change

[naaaaaaaaaah-deactivated2020112]

let’s change them

[nativenews]

“One of my biggest critiques on leftism or spaces of resistance culture is that most people feel that their work is done. That they are the philosopher kings and their consciousness needs to go no further. This is not only untrue but dangerous. This sort of mentality allows for abuses to go unchecked, for spaces to continuously become dominated, and for oppressive behavior to be normalized in resistance culture. This is especially true for white radicals. Too many white rads wear the badge of ally or co-conspirator using the title and phrase, that is usually given to them by some poor unwise PoC, to grant themselves access into organizing spaces designated for communities of color. When they are challenged, they use the same badge to silence the non-whites who called them out for their behaviors using phrases such as ‘I am an ally’ or ‘I worked with …’. This technique is often used by whites to dismiss the concerns and refocus the attention on themselves and all of the ways they contributed to that said non-white community. What this does is readjust the conversation and the organizing on whiteness and allows for the white rad to continue to dominate space, that is unless the white rad is checked by those in the space. […] And isn’t that what white radicals are in general? The gatekeeper of radicalness. One must read the many books from the previous white radicals to be taken seriously in these spaces. One must gain the interest of white radicals so that they can hopefully spare you a few dimes so you can work on your resistance projects. Don’t you dare piss off the white rads, because the white rads control the narrative. In fact they use their status as a white rad to benefit themselves and further support white supremacy. By providing the white voice in radical culture. They take positions from non-white people, and are [shared / listened to] over non-white people, and gain [social capital] by whitesplaining the struggles of others. Struggles that they cannot possibly understand but only theorize on … For white radicals, resistance is something they can opt into and most importantly out of, nothing more than a new extreme sport …”

— Bobby London. (2015). ‘Drawing lines: the myth of the white radical’.

“Contrary to what they claim today, I know many white radicals in the old Left hated the Black Panther Party in the 1960s. They hated the idea of Black people fighting for their own liberation, without white radical leadership. They hated the idea that the BPP was able to recruit thousands of Black poor and working class youth. They hated the idea that the Black Panther newspaper was the central radical publication of the day, and could explain complex terms to urban Black people that made them ‘get it’, more than the 1960s white radical and ‘underground’ press. They hated the idea that the Black Panther Party as an autonomous movement inspired other ethnic and racial groups to organize similar groups, and even young whites whom they had hoped to recruit to their tired ass programs. They hated the idea that the BPP had put forth a socialist program that put oppressed Black/PoC at the center of revolutionary social change in the USA and the world. They hated them then, and they hate them now, but today they pretend that they were their best friends of the BPP, and that they are creating programs 'just like’ the BPP, and that Black people just oughta join with them. The problem with haters, and racism inside the Left itself, is that they want Black people to go against their own self-interests by surrendering to middle class white radicals, when only they can begin the process of securing their own liberation. Black/PoC radicals can only join with others when there are shared issues of concern on a class basis, or there is shared sacrifice, but even then, we need to have our own autonomous movement to make sure our issues are not only respected, but given priority, by any movement claiming to be fighting for a new socialist society.”

Covid is not over and black lives still matter. Stop trying to "go back to normal" when shit is still happening.

Stop going on trips and going to restaurants without masks.

Keep educating yourself and protesting and calling and donating and signing petitions.

Wear a mask. End white supremacy. Defund police.

I know it's tiring but it's not over for either thing even though people are pretending it is. I know the overlap is exhausting. But be safe, social distance, and keep fighting the good fight.

I just would like to add those of you who used the movement as a way to break quarantine, find a way to get your summer vacation photos, trying to pose as a humanitarian. You have no excuses now. You’ve proven your some what capable of understanding what’s going on it just wasn’t convenient for you till. I’m definitely and gladly pulling those receipts when y’all try to “go back to normal” or use those photos as a get out of cancel jail free card.

Also wear a damn mask and wash your hands. The bars can wait. I almost got covid from a dumb bitch who couldn’t just chill out at the out door bar like the rest of us and had to go into the most packed club in the area. just because it’s not in the media doesn’t mean it’s not still happening! Same goes for BLMM

Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Tales of Ba Sing Se (2006) THE TALE OF IROH

[mspaintly]

I think it’s important for people to know that Mako was the original voice actor of Uncle Iroh. He had esophageal cancer. Tales from Ba Sing Se was his last day of voice work for the show before he passed away. The drawing of Iroh’s son here in this episode was based on Mako himself when he was young, and the song Leaves from the Vine was written about him because he had also been a soldier. He never got to see the episode air. In Legend of Korra, Mako was named after him. Greg Baldwin took over for him after he passed, but refuses to sing Leaves from the Vine because “that’s Mako’s song.”
