1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: The Jewil Show on demand. Proud to be an American Today?

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 1: It's the Jebil Show. And why am I proud to

3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 1: be an American today? Is it because we figured out

4
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: a new thing to deep fry? No, it's not, because

5
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: that is really what America is good at the most,

6
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: is putting food inside of other food and then deep

7
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:18,440
Speaker 1: frying that food, and then putting an inside of other

8
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 1: food and then deep frying that food and just deep

9
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:22,759
Speaker 1: frying stuff and eating. It is what America is really

10
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 1: good at. But also I think we're getting pretty good

11
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: at acceptance because if you didn't know this Monday is

12
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 1: a holiday, somebody just crashed their car because they were

13
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: shocked there, like, what Monday is a federal holiday? It

14
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: was made of federal holiday. Finally, last year, Juneteenth is

15
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 1: this Monday, and it was officially made a national federal holiday.

16
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: So there are people giving people the day off and

17
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: people are celebrating Juneteenth, and a lot of people have

18
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,599
Speaker 1: no idea what it even is. And so I guess

19
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:48,239
Speaker 1: we need to explain a little bit because you know,

20
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people that are going, why do

21
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 1: we have Monday off? What Juneteenth? What is that? Which

22
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: is sad because Juneteenth is a very important day in

23
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: American history and in Black history, and people have been

24
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 1: celebrating it for a long time. But I've met so

25
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: many people, especially when people started talking about it more

26
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 1: and more and more in the last few years, that

27
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: have had no idea what Juneteenth is. I don't know.

28
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: How do people not know by now? How have you

29
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: not taken upon yourself to do a little research if

30
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: you didn't know. Juneteenth honors the end of slavery in

31
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: the United States, and it's considered the longest running African

32
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: American holiday. Yes, and it's been around for a very,

33
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: very very long time. So anybody who has heard of

34
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: it and goes it just got made up and it's

35
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:24,839
Speaker 1: just brand new. No, it's been around for a long time.

36
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: And I'm proud of America for finally making it a

37
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: federal holiday and celebrating it. Basically, it's a day that

38
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: slavery was ended in our country. But here's a fun fact.

39
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: The emancipation was like past two years before this. Slaves

40
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 1: in Texas actually didn't know that they were free for

41
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: like two years until June nineteenth. So this is the

42
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: day that we actually celebrate, which is kind of crazy.

43
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: They didn't know for two years, Like how why would

44
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: like maybe like the messaging get there fast enough. Yeah,

45
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: especially back then, right, no social media, no nothing, no news.

46
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: You weren't even allowed to read a lot of times,

47
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: didn't even know how necessarily on purpose, and so they

48
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: just deliver things very slowly in order to keep people

49
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: unaware for two more years. That is, so when they

50
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: found out, best believed they were out piece, out chucking

51
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: the deuces up. And you know, after that, there were

52
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: some struggles and there's still struggles that the community faces

53
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: to this day. But like Juneteenth is about celebrating how

54
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 1: far black people have come despite being slaves for so long. Okay, God,

55
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:26,959
Speaker 1: I was just going to say that, like we're talking

56
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: about as a celebration, it should be a celebration. It's

57
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 1: important to point out that, like, despite that whole situation,

58
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: like Black culture is soing grained into culture, American culture,

59
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: into society. You know, oultre popular culture. It's the way

60
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 1: we dress, the way we talk, the slang we use.

61
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: Even beyond that. You know, of course it's cool, it's

62
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: like the spize to everything, you know, but there's so

63
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: many accomplishments beyond that like, I always think of the sisters,

64
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: the black woman that made it possible for a white

65
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: man to land on the moon. That's the thing that

66
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: a lot of people don't know about. I love that story.

67
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: It did make a movie about it, But that is

68
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: such an underrated story that people don't know about the

69
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 1: innovations and how much Black Americans have changed this country,

70
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: and how their stories have not been told. And when

71
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: you're in school, the way that they'd teach school in America,

72
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 1: it's all skewed one way, right. They tell you what

73
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: they want you to learn based on what America wants

74
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: you to learn. World War Two wasn't stopped by us.

75
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 1: It was stoped by the Russians. They won't tell you

76
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: that in school. They make you think we did it

77
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: right away. Well, they know it in Europe. They don't

78
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: know it here though, And they do that also with

79
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: inventions and things like that. You hear about the guy

80
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 1: the peanut butter, that's one thing that they teach you

81
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: in school, but you don't hear about NASA. You don't

82
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: hear about scientists. You don't hear about some of the

83
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: amazing accomplishments that were done by black Americans. Because I

84
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: feel like they've minimized it in schools and so then

85
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: they go peanut butter, that's a huge thing you have,

86
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: but they don't tell you this story. Yeah. So there's

87
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: this movie called Hidden Figures. They came out like a

88
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: few years ago, and it tells the story of like

89
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: three black women that worked at NASA, and they were

90
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: really the ones behind like the math that went into

91
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: sending a whole ENTI I rocketship to the moon. And

92
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: in culture, we all know the man who landed on

93
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: the moon, right, the white man that landed on the moon.

94
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: But without those three black women that were super intelligent

95
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: and we're able to work with those numbers, that wouldn't

96
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: have happened. So a lot of times I feel like

97
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 1: you said, Jubu, accomplishments are minimized or they're missed. And

98
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: that's what this day is about turning that around and saying,

99
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know what, like we're going to celebrate this,

100
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: We're going we're going to recognize these things. It just

101
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 1: goes to show you that anybody can do anything if

102
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: they really put their mind to it. I was looking

103
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: at the list they said, Thomas Edison is a you

104
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: know the lightbulb guy, but there was a black guy

105
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: who took that to the next level and made it

106
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 1: possible for these lights to stay on a lot longer

107
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: than the lightbulb because you know, I think his lightbulb,

108
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: what was the filament dude stayed on for like a

109
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: few minutes and then it was off. But a lot

110
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: of people don't know that, Like I looked at this

111
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,239
Speaker 1: list and I didn't know that, you know, Like, these

112
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: are things that are so minimized. I think that's why

113
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: it's so ingrained into culture, like fashion, hip hop culture.

114
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: A lot of people didn't know about it. Years ago,

115
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 1: it started being talked about more, and you would hear

116
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: people be confused with what it is if they had

117
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 1: never heard of it, because it was again minimized. Right,

118
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 1: and now we've made it a national holiday, a federal holiday.

119
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: You have Monday off. If you didn't know that, congratulations,
