Juneteenth

For those who chose the sea, refers to the Middle Passage was a section of the triangular Atlantic slave trade that saw the forced transport of millions of West Africans to the new world. Rather than be enslaved, many jumped overboard, literally choosing the sea over enslavement. This is where the phrase comes from and is observed on Juneteenth.

East Africa is now the space trade of the world. Why is no one talking about that or helping those poor people ?

@losthorizons Because it's June 19th so the post is on topic about that specifically. Not meaning to ignore anything else really.

You kind of sound petty though, who wants to list off all the other news around the world like this nullifies the post or something.

Like oh yeah well a woman died in the news today, why aren't you talking about that on this irrelevant post HUH HUH HUH

🤣
