What makes something a fake holiday?

I'd say believing that some dude who died got up and started walking around three days later would fall into this category.

He didn't walk around. He got tired of this planet's bullshit lack of technology and called for the transport to beam him up.

The real Juneteenth is actually December 6, 1865. That was the day slavery was banned in Kentucky and Delaware with the ratification of the 13th amendment. June is a nicer month to take a day off though.

I'm not mocking anything.

As gd mentioned above, Juneteenth is based on events we have proof and record of actually taking place. There are MANY other holidays across all religions and cultures that are based assumptions and stories. Nothing wrong with that on the surface, but its not true and unintelligent to say something like today is a fake celebration.

He had to see his lady, talk to the guys, clean his cellphone, and then rest. It took roughly 40 days to complete.

I love when this is mocked. There are MANY "truths" fed to us by the government and media that we've never questioned. Truths that are provably false. However, your lack of faith makes you question the resurrection.

I love when Nas quickly switches from being offended by racists questioning the legitimacy of Juneteenth to being offended by heathens questioning the legitimacy of the Resurrection.

We should get every Jewish holiday off too but that is mostly because they have about 30 of them.

I'm happy to join in on someone's celebration. I don't take the day off, but I'd go to a party if someone asked. I think there are some people fibbing that they've been celebrating it for 20-30 years, but so what. It commemorates an actual event, unlike a lot of holidays.

Autumn Equinox, The leaves start falling! April Fools' Day May Day Pi Day Yorkshire Day Groundhog Day Devil's Night Opposite Day National Doughnut Day St Piran's Day Eid ul-Fitr Guy Fawkes Night Parent Fun Day Halfoween Friendship Day National Coming Out Day ANZAC Day Melon Day (Not those Melons!) But yeah Juneteenth! FUK that!

I say this not joking in any way; the overwhelming majority of street violence could likely be linked to females. While they may not pull the triggers, they have so much blood on their hands. It's getting worse now because some of them are shooters. Historically, I believe a female has likely been behind the dumbest thing any male has done.

Every holiday is man made and designed to celebrate something and boost commerce.

I'm not offended by either. I was just curious. Other than being a tool for trolling, I couldn't care less about Juneteenth. The same is true for most holidays.

last year when it was new i never had heard of it and was skeptical of this holiday. now i think it's a good idea it's celebrated. but there are still a lot of private companies that don't recognize MLK JR day. Doubt they will with June 19th. Brick wrote: We should get every Jewish holiday off too but that is mostly because they have about 30 of them. Yes we had Yom Kippur off.
