I’m Choctaw and I am SO TIRED of this woke nonsense on Columbus Day and Thanksgiving. Myth, legend, or fact, Thanksgiving celebrates Indians and Pilgrams sharing a feast in friendship and comity. Let’s just celebrate that and give thanks to the Lord. It shouldn’t be all that hard.

I'm all for more national holidays and vacations because I think Americans need more rest days and quality time with loved ones to begin with.

So as a Choctaw, do you think - instead of REPLACING Columbus Day or Thanksgiving - it's better to have a Native American Day of some kind? (That isn't woke-grievance based.)

MLK Day for example, was established by President Reagan for example, which I think pays rightful homage to the Civil Rights movement and the end of segregation. And Juneteenth is worthwhile too...(If it were properly observed as commemoration of the Emancipation Proclamation, instead of as a Marxist BLM battle cry.)

Thoughts?

No money in it for the victim mongers.

My wife is 100% Apache and agrees with you.

The Apache killed the Anasazi and Mogollon to get the land we’re on (Mescalero reservation. Cave paintings all over our ranch and sure as hell ain’t Apache.

She’s also thankful whites showed up before the Chinese, who historically just slaughtered everyone.
