Which American holiday do you find the most distasteful?

[Suburbia]

Valentine's Day, Easter, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, Kwanzaa?

Some people, especially this year, has said that Independence Day (July 4th) is a bad day because in 1776, only white men were free, from Britain's colonial rule (true), and Columbus Day and Thanksgiving Day celebrate imperialism and genocidal racism.

Memorial Day and Veterans Day celebrate dead old imperialist racist militaristic monsters who killed brown people in overseas wars.

What holiday do you dislike?

[Goldwater]

How on earth can the answer be anything other than Confederate Day events?

[Blue3]

Never heard of Epiphany.

Black History Month isn't a holiday.

And yeah, obviously Confederate Holidays.

[Santander]

How on earth can the answer be anything other than Confederate Day events?

Because they're not distasteful?

[John Dule]

Can someone explain why it's called "Juneteenth?" I understand what it celebrates, but it just sounds like an extremely silly word, like "eleventy-five."

[Warren 4 Secretary of Everything]

Confederate events aren’t American holidays, they’re Deep South ones, and so don’t count.

I’d say Columbus Day followed by Thanksgiving (the version of it taught to kindergarteners)

Never heard of Epiphany.

It is a Christian feast celebrating the manifestation of God as Jesus Christ, and specifically in Western tradition, where it is on January 6th, the Adoration of the Magi.
It's a national holiday in various places (including here in Italy). It's pretty good, actually. I have always received presents both on December 25th and on January 6th (usually candies and similar sh!t in the latter occasion).

Libertarians probably answer Labor Day

But only an official holiday in the U.S. if you are in the U.S. Virgin Islands, which were formerly Danish.

Good for the people of the Virgin Islands then, I guess.

[Del Tachi]

I have always hated Halloween, but I guess it isn't a "real" holiday so I'll have to come up with something else

[Mr. Smith]

Not considering the low hanging fruit that everyone else'll pick [besides YH], and considering that Columbus Day has NEVER been a holiday celebrated in my lifetime, I pick Valentine's Day.

Ramadan has become so commercialized and ubiquitous that it practically takes up a whole month. Every year it feels like it starts earlier and earlier.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Columbus day

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Ramadan Leif Erikson Day has become so commercialized and ubiquitous that it practically takes up a whole month. Every year it feels like it starts earlier and earlier.

It happened on the 19th day of June. June Nineteenth to just Juneteenth

[Donerail]

Columbus Day, but only because it celebrates an Italian.

Columbus Day, but only because it celebrates an Italian.

It is a crime that Columbus Day is a federal holiday while schools are still permitted to be open on St. Patrick's Day. Even in Chicago, public employees get Columbus Day & Pulaski Day off with nothing for the Irish, our most disenfranchised minority group.

The Irish are the most disenfranchised? Lmao
And well I agree that Columbus Day being a federal holiday is a crime especially compared to St. Patrick's Day, but not just because Colombo was Italian.
Actually, the day of Italian unification coincidentally falls precisely on St. Patrick's Day, so they could scrap October 12th as a federal holiday and substitute it with March 17th and everyone would be happy.
You are Irish I assume?

[Suburbia]

I am surprised no one here mentioned Fourth of July, America declared Independence from Britain in 1776, despite having Black slaves.......

The holiday got more scrutiny this year

[World politics is up Schmitt creek]

Voted for President's Day because I didn't see the Confederate option. Obviously days celebrating the Slaveholders' Rebellion are the worst of the worst. One wonders that anywhere in the US still has them.

Also, while it's not a public holiday as such, Holyoke, the heavily Hispanic Catholic city whose school district I work in, does have Epiphany as a school holiday. By the same token, kids in Longmeadow, which is home to the bulk of Western Mass Jewry, get Yom Kippur off.

[they don't love you like i love you]

Gee, take a wild guess how I voted!
