It celebrates fatherhood, which is not part of the lived experience of the majority of African-American children in this country. This holiday shames and delegitimizes them. It implies there is something wrong growing up only with Mommy on the welfare dole, living off of government handouts your entire life.
This holiday also implies that men who have sired children should take responsibility for them. This places unrealistic, race-based expectations on black men when we know that they cannot be held responsible for their choices has any deviation from social norms, racist as they are, can be explained entirely through oppression by whites.
this holiday also implies that woman needs a man more than a fish needs a bicycle.
Finally, celebrating fatherhood is unfair and demeaning to the soy boys who will never be able to attract let alone inseminate a woman.
Not to mention it is homophobic against a man who will never reproduce with their spouse, transphobic against biowomen who don't have a penis, and WAY too close to Juneteenth.
No no no no no no no no
Father's day is racist!!!
