You're listening to Comedy Central. When 60 Minutes premiered in September 1968, there was nothing like it. This is 60 Minutes. It's a kind of a magazine for television. Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives. You're rolling? But that's all about to change. Like none of this stuff gets looked at. That's what's incredible.

June 10th, the day we celebrate slavery officially ending in America. Or if you're gone with the wind fan, a day of mourning. Now you might be thinking the end of slavery. So this is about the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863 didn't end. Slavery didn't even end when the Civil War was over in 1865. In reality, it took two months after the Civil War ended for the Union Army to get into all the Civil War was over in 1865. In reality it took two months after the Civil War ended for the Union Army to get into all the slave states and free the slaves. When he came to give it out freedom, white people ran on CP time. But on

June 19, 1865, a Union General named Gordon Granger occupied Texas, the last slave state and declared all of its slaves free. He's an American hero. And he looks like the barista at my coffee shop. I'm gonna have to thank him next time I order a makiato. And freeing the slaves in Texas was especially important because although Texas was the last state to be emancipated, it had a ton of slaves. It was blacker than a family reunion in Wakanda. That's because during the war, a the the the their their their their their their their their their their their slave, a their slave their their slave their slave their their slave their slave their thia. thia. thia. thia. thia. thia. thia. ta. thae. thae. thae. thae. thae. thae. thae. thae. thae. thae. thae. thae. than. than.

It'sa. It'sa. It'sa. It'sa. It'sa. It'sa. It'sa. It's. It's. It's. It's t. It in Wakanda. That's because during the war, a lot of slave owners shipped their slaves to Texas for

state keeping, knowing union troops couldn't reach that far. They were basically treating Texas like the couch cushions you hide your weed in when the cops come. Officer, I didn't know. I got this couch on Greg's list. It came with the weed. Of course, even though we celebrate celebrate the the the the the the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. their. their. their. the. the. thecke, touche, their. touch, together. thae. tha. tha. tha. thae. thae, thae, t. t.

Because it's one thing to tell people they can't have slaves, is another thing to go door-to-door

like, hey, you paying these guys? Because if not, this better be a big-ass sleepover. And all this still didn't free slaves in union territories. That didn't happen until the 13th Amendment. Yeah, that's right. There were union states with slaves. Imagine, living in New Jersey and being a slave, that's one human rights violation on top of another. Either way, black people in Texas recognized June 19th.

They organized the first celebration of Junete. Then over time, it spread as black people migrated. And today, it's celebrated by blackededededededededededededededededededed their their their their their theired their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their They organized the first celebration of Junete then over time it spread as black people migrated and today it's celebrated by black folks around the country. June team celebrations have evolved and become a real way to pay homage to those who came before us. It is a representation of our freedom where we can all come together on one street close down the city to represent the culture. You see that's that the today thi the the the the the the thathe thathe thathe thatement thate thate thate thate thate thate th. thate th. thi thate thi thi thee th. they's they they they they they were they were they're they were they were they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were their their their today. today. today. today. today. today today today today today today. today today today. today today today today., close down the city to represent the culture. You see, that's why Juneteenth is my favorite independence day. It goes Juneteenth, Independence Day with Will Smith, then the 4th of July.

I'm not a fan of fireworks. Sounds like someone's doing a drive-by on the sky. So if you ask me, we should make Juneteeth a national holiday. Because everybody, everybody, should celebrate the end of slavery, the beginning of freedom for black people, and the long march toward America's founding ideals. Also, we get the day off. I don't want to be stuck in an office in June. Kevin keeps heating up fish in a microwave, because he's a pescatarian and then he keeps cooking all these eggs.

This morning an American cinema classic gone with the wind has been temporarily pulled by the streaming platform HBO Max. For years the movie has been considered controversial for its depiction of black people and its glorification of slavery. In a statement, HBO Max writing in part, these racist depictions were wrong then and are wrong today. And keeping this title up without an explanation and a denouncement of those depictions. their responsibility, adding the film will return with a discussion of its historical

context and a denouncement of those very depictions. HBO hasn't said how they're going to add context to Gone with the Wind and it is going to be a tough task. So we decided to do it for them. Scarlet, you know you, you get prettier all the time. Why, thank you, Ashley, it's the glower never working. Yes, we've traveled a long road since th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, the th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, their, thi, thi, thi, their, thi, thi, their, thi, thi, thi, thi, thank you, Ashley. It's a glower, never working. Yes, we've traveled a long road since the old days, haven't we scalded? Oh, the lazy days. Oh, they weren't lazy for everyone. A warm, still country twilight.

The high, soft, negro laughter from the quarters. The what now? Let's get one thing straight. Black people laugh loud. If we're laughing softly, it means we're laughing at your ass. Oh, Red, I'd give anything to have toward the weight was before the war. You know she's talking about slavery. You got that right. Then go ahead and make it that way. Spend whatever you want.

Make it as fine a plantation as it ever was. Oh, it will be a fine plantation. plantation but it's going to have to have white labor next time the South is not going to rise again Scarlet.

I'm Seth Done of CBS News. Listen to 60 Minutes, a second look, starting September 17th, wherever you get your podcasts. During quarantine I've been getting two things. Dems from dudes checking to see if I'm all stocked up and reminders to take the census. And I know just who to call to make it stop. Bob. Hey Dulcy. Why you sending me all this mail to do something on the internet?

Well, Dulce, this is the first time the census has been done online, and it only takes 10 minutes. Listen, during this quarantine I got so much on my plate, trying to work on these dating profiles, I'm in the middle of two BuzzFeed quizzes, and they got one in to make you look like Frederick Douglas. Well, that's going to be a problem. Takes 10 minutes. Ten minutes for school lunches, for highways, for schools, for health care. While I hate to admit it, Bob may have a point. Every 10 years, the U.S. Census tries to count how many people live in America.

It uses those numbers to decide how to split up federal funding for things like fire stations, schools, and hospitals. These numbers even determine how many representatives each state has, which is why the census has made so many ads to convince you to get off your ass and fill out their little survey. The census really is about money and power. Come on, dog, you said 10 minutes, that's about internet. Show me. So the Census Bureau site is my 2020 census.gov. That's the official census website. Gotcha. So if I get taken to my census dot bigger titties tomorrow dot info that's not an official site. That is not the census bureau. Let's see. All right. Uh. What if I split my time between two places?

Like, I have a man friend and I sometimes stay at his place, which is technically a defunct food truck, right? The census attempts to count everybody in the country. Some of these people live in mobile homes. I told him there's no market for a condiments only food truck, but he makes his own decisions, you know. Can't help you with that one, Dulce. We want to count everyone just once and only once, and in the place where they usually stay,

because that will be the basis of all the effects of the census. That's easy enough for me to answer. I'm a citizen, but for some, how many people live here is a loaded question. I hear that, you know, the the the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. that is thean is th. th. th. th. th. thoomoomoomoomets. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. their th. their th. th. th. th. It's th. th. their, th. It's their, their their their t. t. their their the. thean. th. th a loaded question. I hear that you know there's people that are concerned that they're going to report to ICE or that they're going to report to the cops and it's going to affect people's status or citizenship. Well there's no citizenship question on the on the 2020 census. Because I think people distrust stems from we don't believe that a government agency cannot communicate information to another government agency and that's not allowed

with this? It's even better than that. It's against the law to reveal your answers identified with you to anybody. Once it's in the Census Bureau is protected. Ah so it's no snitching law. It's a big time no snitching law. I get it. Count everyone in the government will do right by us. There's just one problem. Not all of us are getting counted. So I've seen a lot of articles about how the census is bad accounting black people.

Why is that? The kinds of folks who end up traditionally being undercounted are those who are renters versus owners, for example, households with multiple families in them. All of these conditions are more common to poor populations, and the unfortunate part is African Americans tend to be poorer than others. I don't know why we're always in act like black people are hard to count when the police are always finding us and they seem to always know where we're at. That's the big issue, Dulce. Those communities who don't trust governments confuse the census request as another way that they might be harmed by government and it's just not true. So if the census traditionally undercounts us and the government has shown us multiple times that we can't trust it, why should we take this? I get it Dulce but you got to understand

that participating in the census allows your community its fair share of over 800 billion dollars in support for education, health, school lunches, highways. If you don't respond, your community is going to get cheated. So if I don't do this, my community is going to get cheated. That's right, Dulce. And they may get cheated otherwise, but if they don't do this, then they're definitely going to get cheated. You're right. Why don't you say that? This is commercial. We need you do th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. th. th. the the the the the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thii. thi. thii. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th cheated. You're right. Why don't you say that in the census commercial? We need you on a commercial, Dulce. Yeah you do.

Hey black people. Look, I can't promise great things will happen if you take the census. But if you don't, I can promise these white people are going to use those low numbers to cheat you out of the schools, hospitals and representation that should be yours. So take the damn senses and let them know. Hey, I know you fucking see me. Walmart says they will no longer put multicultural hair and beauty products inside locked cases at their stores. This practice took place in about a dozen U.S. stores, which customers claim served more urban

and less affluent communities. Walmart told NBC news that the company is sensitive to the issue and understands the concerns and the changes are now being implemented as soon as possible. Yeah, can you imagine? For years, Walmart and other drug stores have been locking up black hair and beauty products, but not the white products. Yes. Even black hair products suffer from mass incarceration. What is the shit? Huh? But still, this is great news. What Walmart is saying is what they're going to do from now on? Hey friend? I heard you were talking about Walmart. Yeah I was, Dulce, but how did you know? Never mind that. I got some thoughts. Okay, well I want to know how you hacked into... Anyway I imagine that you're pretty that you're that you're that you're that you're that you're that you're that you're that you're that you're that that th th th th th th th th th th the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. What thi the the th. th. What's th. What's th. What's th. What's th.

Never mind that. I got some thoughts. Okay, well, I want to know how you hacked into the...

Anyway, I imagine that you're pretty happy that Walmart is getting rid of this policy, right? Yes, free at last, free at last. Thank God, oh my black hair is free at last! Not only did this racist-ass policy make black people look like thieves, but you know the worst part, it made every trip to Walmart 10 times longer. Wait, why would it be longer? Because I had to go on a magical quest to find a person with the key who then had to unlock the cage, who could finally retrieve my treasure. Ah, it felt like a black lord of the reins. But it's an extra 10 minutes. Why th, th, th, why, th, th, why, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi. th, it's thi, it's thi, it's thi, it's thi, it's thi, it's thi, it's thi, it's thi, it's thi, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it's thi.

But it's an extra 10 minutes.

Why does it matter, Dulce? Let me tell you something. You know how long it takes the style, natural hair? Do you know much I have to go through the magical process, the moon and stars and the products that have to come together for this to grace the planet. That's time to consume it. It's wash day. It's a whole day. It's pre-puing, shampooing, deep conditioning, conditioning, and then a protective style? And then it's bad enough I got to do all that. And then I got to bail my hair care out of jail?

No. Uh-uh. Wait, bail your hair care,, but I understand what you're saying, Dulce. I just think it's great news that the policy is ending, and I mean, I bet you'll be going to Walmart soon. Oh, I already been. And just so you know, and I sent you a some help. You ain't got hair and makeup no more and I see your little quarantine baby from she's looking kind of dry. What? Wait, wait, what do you mean it's dry? I used, I used the thing. No, wait, Doolsey Comedy Central, and the Comedy Central
