Who cares? In the great scheme of things all holidays are made up by folks to celebrate something, the "when" of it isn't all that important, IMHO. Taking some time to enjoy food is always fun, even if you think it is "made up" and that nobody should ever celebrate anything unless it was made up before you were born (like Juneteenth was).

Don't need a holiday to enjoy food. This is just another leftist exercise in "feel good" bullshit.

When I became a parent I found myself asking my children on occasion, "Is this the hill you want to die on?" when they were making a HUGE deal out of something small, usually something like, "Put your shoes in your room"...

Basically, pretending that it is important that we not celebrate this is the small stuff.

My advice to my kids was always, "Don't sweat the small stuff."

Enjoy the food. Learn something maybe, and fight the good fight like you are the third monkey in line to Noah's ark and it has started raining on the big stuff, you know.. the hill you want to die on...

Good advice. The problem is you only see that scenario from one perspective. Maybe consider it and get back to me. Beyond that every time you take a step back someone many advance on you one step. Any one hill may not a big one but if wait for a big one before you are willing to die your chances of survival may be very low. The question I always asked my kids to consider was, if you aren't willing to stand up now when will you be?

This is why I tell them to ask the question. Is this where you draw the line?

Why here? You don't want folks learning about why folks celebrate this day? Why? Seriously. I'd love to know why you don't want people to understand why folks have been celebrating this since June 19, 1865 (2 months after the war ended these folks found out that they had been freed in April)?

Exactly why do you think this is a step in the wrong direction?
