I don't trust these hoes
-me referring to the government

Juneteenth was personal

Juneteenth was personal…
I don't celebrate this black holiday…
I learned it way before the government's
Recognition, before it was commercialized…
And now it has become performative…
I don't understand why…
I know the history,
But why does it have to turn into corporations?
Why does it need to be a part of
Capitalism?
Somebody let white supremacy took over
And put colonized bull shit into it…
It's why I don't wanna participate
In the cookout….Just like I don't wanna
Be in the Kwanzaa either…
It's all performin
It's all fake
The fact is that black people asked a white man To celebrate our black owned holiday..
Did we demand him to recognize june 19th?
Cos after all, we're still in slavery…
We're not in white folks’ household
Not on plantations…
I understand
Why we celebrate
Me, I don't wave flags
I don't think we are liberated…
Majority of brothas and sistahs still have chains of whiteness…
Yes slaves fought back
Yes Abraham so called freed blacks…
However it was a transaction…
Technically if you really think about it,
It wasn't a freedom song…
The only liberation I know
That black people had to free themselves…
And still America dehumanize us…
Juneteenth
Juneteenth was personal
To some black people who planned
Family gatherings and tell stories
Of back in the day…
With food and laughter
And it wasn't a performance then..
They never had to ask a white man
To have this day as a blessin..
Til someone thought it was a good idea
To turn into a holiday…

Yet here it is…💯✊🏾©️ Kai C. 6-7-26

How we walk with the broken speaks louder than how we sit with the great.
