Wut that?

The power of google can do wonders…

Oh yeah we don’t celebrate that here cuz yk it didnt happen here.

@JDAW6 im questioning if this is a joke or not..?

It isn’t I’m pretty sure there wasn’t any slavery here in the UAE but I don’t learn UAE history cuz I’m idnain

There was slavery in the nations of the UAE before the UAE was formed, namely: Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Fujairah, and Ras Al Khaimah.

bro just named every emirates and it was probably by the British so but we didn’t make a fuss.

It wouldn’t make much sense to celebrate the Emancipation Proclamation, an American document, anywhere but America.

It’s also worth noting (this discussion is brought up every year) that the Emancipation Proclamation was not nearly as monumental as some think, as it freed *southern* slaves, not northern ones. It also did it at a time where the south was the Confederacy, so arguably Lincoln didn’t have the authority to free their slaves anyway. It did however somewhat lay the groundwork for slaves being freed later on.

Its such a significant holiday... yet nobody could think of a better name.

Something like free slaves day sounds better.

hm i thought you meant in the way that they never stopped slavery there
