Thanksgiving has never been a celebratory holiday in my family. Whenever my family did cook we always gave thanks that all the Native Americans weren't wiped out when Columbus "discovered" America.
My teachers made it seem like Thanksgiving was a holiday to look forward to. The New York City public education system told me what Thanksgiving was all about. I was very careful to regurgitate what they taught me when tested so I wouldn't get a failing grade. When I was older though I was told the truth by my family.
Whenever someone asked what I was doing for Thanksgiving I proudly stated that I no longer celebrate it. Thanksgiving day should be known as National Land Theft and American Genocide Day.
Armed settlers -- which we tell our children were God fearing, gentle, sharing, kind Pilgrims -- invaded a Pequot village. They also set the village, which included many children, on fire. Those who were lucky enough to escape the fire were systematically sought, hunted down and killed. While many, including historians, still debate what exactly happened this day, also known as the Pequot Massacre, it directly led to the creation of "Thanksgiving Day." This is what the governor of Bay Colony had to say days after the massacre, "A day of thanksgiving. Thanking God that they had eliminated over 700 men, women and children."
So when you sit down to dinner this year, look at your family, serve the food and tell each other what you are most thankful for, think about the origins of Thanksgiving. Think about the countless Native Americans who lost their lives so you can carve a turkey and get the best deals on Black Friday.

As opposed to the first arrivers who had been working diligently to wipe each other out.
Maybe she should just commit suicide to make up for all the imagined horrors visited by white people on Native Americans. That’s the least she can do.
That was a silly, but fun movie.
If Indians are so damn awesome and noble etc. then why don’t they make something of themselves instead of whining and bitching about being victims? How about they forego all the government money and fend for themselves?
Keep crying while holding your hand out.
I was born an American, therefore I am a native!

Come on, they were white. They deserved it for that reason alone. /S
Blah blah blah...
The natives fought many many vicious wars with the white man, and ultimately they lost.
However, the white man brought his technology and ethic to the godless heathen savages, and their descendants are blessed by that every single day.
Leftist dooshes say "but but but...The white man destroyed indian communities with firewater!"
To that I say I'd rather die of cirrhosis at 45 than and axe in my skull at 25.
If a time machine is ever invented I vote for sending leftists back to the pre-white man era of the Plains indians. Those indians would end up using liberal skulls as drinking cups!

“When I was older though I was told the truth by my family.”
Doubtful. The holiday is not about the pilgrims...the early settlers...It’s about acknowledging God’s gracious provision for the lives of sinners.
I want off this planet or better yet, I want idiots like this off the planet...sigh.
What’s not to love?
What a self righteous waste of a human.
sums up complainers and community organizers, victims well
