Americans must acknowledge Thanksgiving's racist origin

For college students especially, American Thanksgiving might be one of the best holidays of the year. Free food and childhood nostalgia can easily eclipse its dirty origin story. In truth, Thanksgiving has racist roots that are widely ignored by the American public. The glorification of colonialism and stereotyping of Native Americans should make anyone, regardless of race, pause and consider the cultural racism that has been a part of our childhood socialization.

If the early settlers were as bad as portrayed then would have been wiped out without much effort.

In fact that's happened to the Viking settlers when they tried to do what Vikings did.

It’s important to read what these lunatics say because if no one reads it, they gain an edge. They gain an edge when people aren’t awake.

Regardless of the origin. A day to gather and give thanks is a good thing.

Actually, we were the oppressed colonists who over threw a nasty monarch. Try reading a book!

Has anything productive come out of our colleges and universities over the last ten years? They’ve become a wasteland that keep young men and women from working until they’re almost 30.

We need to quit funding most of these liberal wastelands and tell these punks to get a job. We wouldn’t need all the illegals over here if they were learning about working for a living.

Speaking of that, apparently 7 million men are not working. Most likely because of colleges like Tulane.
