"I don't like Thanksgiving because of the Genocide"
Waaaah waaahh..

It’s that time of year again; one can smell the pumpkin pies, the turkeys, and the celebrities signaling their virtue at the expense of hallowed American traditions.
Big Bang Theory actress Mayim Bialik posted a video to Youtube on November 16 explaining the 4 reasons why she doesn’t like Thanksgiving. Buried underneath the milder complaints of “eating copious amounts of food” and the proximity of Thanksgiving to the Jewish traditional version of Thanksgiving, Bialik brought up a ridiculous reason to loathe an American holiday:
“History is written by the winners. I grew up coloring pictures of pilgrims and indigenous people -- we called them Indians when I was a child -- having this beautiful Thanksgiving together. The truth is, European invaders came to this land, took it from the indigenous people, raped, pillaged, gave them all sorts of diseases, called it their own, and desecrated a culture. It is one of the grossest examples of genocide in recent history and much as I don’t want to think about that, it’s really hard for me not to think about that when I think about Thanksgiving.”
Ouch. So ignoring the beautiful tradition that has been practiced by families in America for hundreds of years, people shouldn’t celebrate Thanksgiving because the pilgrims, among other things, were “invaders” who brought “all sorts of diseases” to the Native Americans? If that’s the case, then whoever brought the Black Death to Europe in the 14th century was a war criminal. And if she wants to rant and rave about how dreadful the colonials were, every country, every nation, and every region has had the lion’s share of enormous human flaws and brutality.
As a vegan (and nobody virtue signals like a vegan!) Bialik also doesn’t like having a turkey on Thanksgiving. She said, “I don’t like the tradition of killing a bird that in most cases has been genetically modified so that it’s so big that it can’t even stand up and then you lay it’s carcass on a tray and you carve it up and then you eat it. I don’t like that tradition. I don’t want that one. And I know. You think, “you vegans ruin everything.” Well, you know what? I think your tradition of killing an animal and laying its carcass and eating the skin and the flesh of it -- I think its gross. That ruins it too.”
There are some issues with being vegan too. For starters, many of the ingredients used by vegans, including quinoa, are harvested from third world countries. This causes the prices of food in places like Peru to go up, and poor people end up having to pay more. Being vegan is not necessarily the greatest lifestyle to have, if someone wants to talk about injustice and genocide.
of The perks of Thanksgiving for Bialik? The “attitude of gratitude” and the Macy’s Day Parade. Hating on mainstream positivity and modern cultural customs is a bridge too far for Bialik. Think of the bad publicity!
I quit watching that show around the time they all asked for a mil per episode. Haven’t missed it at all.
Her Ivy League school didn’t teach her the truth. She’s a brainwashed idiot.
Excellent Prager U video - must see - the Truth about the First Thanksgiving.

"I don't like Thanksgiving because of the Genocide"
Waaaah waaahh..
It’s wrong to take the property of one group and give it to another group, yet she and people who share her beliefs on that issue are the strongest supporters of socialism.
It is as simple as this: If the White Man wanted to commit genocide against American Indians, there would be none left.
She’s always been a nutter... smart, but a nutter none the less
I’m not a vegan.... but I do think the show is funny. Doesn’t bother me how much they make per episode. It’s capitalism. Kinda like Apple who has over 100 billion in cash charging $1000 for their newest IPhone. They could give every US citizen one for free.... But capitalism says you get from people whatever the market will support.
Was she Blossom?
Makes me nostalgic for when Blossom and Six would gossip about teenage stuff. Blossom you grew up to be not too likeable..........
I thought she was smarter than this, the vegan cult has brainwashed her...she’s gotta get back on the liberal bandwagon after her ‘modesty’ comments in the wake of the recent Hollywood sex scandals!
“I don’t like the tradition of killing a bird”
But why do I think she’s all in favor of killing babies in the womb?
Why do movie and TV stars think their personal opinions are so special, and so must be shared with the world?
I was at the grocery store the other day. At the check-out line all the clerk did was ring up my order, then take my payment. He didn’t give me his personal opinions on Thanksgiving or Global Warming. Why can’t movie and TV stars be more like grocery store clerks?
I’ll have the turkey with a big helping of Genocide, grandma!
I would like to offer a suggestion for the name of one of the turkeys that President Trump will pardon.
And dittos, haven't missed it either.
Wouldn’t that be Turkicide? What about Cowicide, Chickenicide, Pigicide, Fishicide, Grasshoppericide?
