Juneteenth is a beautiful celebration of the end of slavery in the United States — but what is the best way for the melanin-challenged among us to show that you’re hip to the cause?
Fortunately for you caucasians out there, we at the Babylon Bee have compiled a sure-fire list of ways for you to demonstrate your support for your black fellow citizens this Juneteenth!
-
Say “What is up my brotha from anotha motha” to greet any black person you meet: They will instantly know you’re like family.
-
Wear one of those kente cloths and kneel for 8 minutes in the middle of the road: Nothing says you care like making the whole neighborhood late for work.
-
Invite a black friend over to watch Roots together: Then beg forgiveness and ask them to absolve you of your white guilt afterward. They love this!
-
Purchase a Finn action figure: Because nothing screams “ALLY” like a stormtrooper of color.
-
Spend months trying to learn how to clap on rhythm to gospel music: Just like this — 🎶🎵🎶I’ll 👏🏻Flyyyyy👏🏻👏🏻Awaaaaaayyyy👏🏻 Oh Glooooory👏🏻👏🏻 🎶🎵 Awww, don’t worry, you’ll get it eventually!
-
Paint a George Floyd mural on your black neighbor’s driveway: They will be so surprised and thankful.
-
Every time you see a black person, go right up to them and whisper “I see you” in their ear: Incredibly reassuring.
-
Stand stock-still while smiling weirdly during a Juneteenth concert after aides accidentally switch your uppers for some edibles: Tried and true!
Well, there you go — hopefully this helps you get into the Juneteenth spirit this year! Now go get that Finn action figure!
