-Astronomy Club Juneteenth virtual BBQ celebration.
What's up?
Man, of course these fools late.
The time was right there on the spreadsheet.
-What up, what up, what up! -Hey!
-Hey, guys!
Happy Freedom Day, everybody!
-Did everyone bring a dish to celebrate black icons?
-Oh, you know it.
Check out this Mr. T cake.
I pity the fool who is allergic to chocolate cake.
-I brought some Okra Winfrey.
You get some okra, and you get some okra, ah!
-I made Tashina Arnold Palmers.
It's half lemonade, half iced tea,
and a splash of arrest the cops who killed Breonna Taylor.
-That right there.
-I brought some Huey peas and rice.
The Black Panthers said we have to
educate ourselves and feed ourselves.
-And the Black Panther said Killmonger was right.
-Mm-hmm.
-I made this blackened marshmallow pie
in honor of Winston from "Ghostbusters."
-Chicken pot fly -- it's a chicken pot pie with a fade.
But you got to -- you know, you can't see the fade.
-Alright, Caroline. -Oh, Caroline.
-Oh, girl. -I'm hip.
-Geez.
-Wow, guys, I brought an amazing dish.
It has -- -Hey, guys, hey!
-Jimmy Fallon. -Hey.
-Okay. -Oh.
-I wanted to celebrate Juneteenth with you guys,
so I thought I'd stop by.
-Are the Roots coming?
-No. -Oh.
-Okay. -Damn.
-Oh, that's exciting.
-Not to be rude, but who gave you our Zoom link?
-Oh, I did. We're in the same BTS Army Facebook group.
-Well, Jimmy, did you bring anything to share?
-I was thinking about bringing Black Eyed Peas.
-Oh, go ahead, Jimmy.
-But they haven't been the same without Fergie.
-Oh, no, Jimmy.
-So I had the recipe book open for greenbook green beans.
-Jimmy. -Ooh.
-But even I knew that would be in bad taste.
-Mm-hmm.
-So I brought this.
Red beans and Condoleezza Rice.
-Huh, great. Two rice dishes.
See, this is why I make spreadsheets.
-So, Jimmy, how much do you know about Juneteenth?
-Because we getting tired of teaching white folks stuff.
-It's like every white person's Google broke at the same time.
-Don't worry. You don't have to teach me anything.
I know all about Juneteenth.
It's the day Union General Granger announced
that the Civil War had ended
and the enslaved people were now free.
-Okay.
-So then you also know that many black people
were still in bondage illegally for two whole years
after the Emancipation Proclamation.
-Yeah, uh, uh, of course I did know that fact.
Of course, yes.
-And I'm sure you know that black people
never got our 40 acres and a mule.
-Because President Johnson annulled that part
of President Lincoln's Proclamation.
-That is so messed up.
Is the thing I tell my friends when we talk about this
on many days that are not just today.
-So you know all about black Wall Street
being burned to the ground in Tulsa, Oklahoma, right?
-Red lining, gerrymandering.
Voter suppression.
-Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Slow down for the people who don't already know all this.
-Mm-hmm. -Jimmy.
-Yeah, I guess I still have a lot to learn.
Um, what can I do to help?
-Well, you could start by hiring us!
-Yeah, and pay us 2 1/2 years worth of bonus.
-We should all get 40 acres of office space.
-And I want a pony.
-I want fireproof black walls in my office and a Tesla.
-And would it kill you to get us our own late night talk show?
-Is this still about Juneteenth?
-Yeah, it is, of course it is, Jimmy.
-I say we make Juneteenth a national holiday.
-I got it, Jimmy.
How about we make Juneteenth a national holiday?
-I just said that. -That's a good idea, James.
-That is so smart.
-That's a good idea, James.
Wow, well, this is awesome, Astronomy Club.
Thank you so much.
I thought I knew about Juneteenth,
but I really learned a lot from you guys.
-It was our pleasure, Jimmy Fallon.
Now, please, go tell all your white friends.
-We got to go, Jimmy.
We have a Juneteenth dinner to go to.
Later. -Bye.
-Bye. -Bye.
-John?
You aren't going to the dinner?
-If it's not on the spreadsheet, it's not happening.
-Alright, so, I guess I should leave as well.
Bye, John.
-Hey, everybody.
-Questlove! Oh, my God.
-Wait, am I late? Where did everyone go?
-No one's gonna believe me.
Man.
Well, me and you could hang.
-Great.
