Toxic ideologies often start around family dinner tables. It's not just an uncle saying a racist joke, or a grandmother determining her xenophobic ideas as “a part of her time.” These comments seep into how we make decisions in voting booths, how judges rule in their chambers, how teachers guide students in school classrooms, how employment decisions are made, and how police react in high-stakes situations.
After a year of relentless atrocities that don’t always make for easy conversation at the dinner table, it's important to make Thanksgiving preparations beyond the tablescape and the menu. This year, I want you to prepare for something a little more nuanced than stuffing or cranberry sauce: I want you to prepare to rock the family boat, with important discussions that stretch beyond the surface of “How's the weather?” and “Who are you dating these days?” So, I'm coming to you with a guide that should push you beyond apathy, and instead, teach you how to be a part of the solution. As Angela Davis reminds us, it is not enough to not be racist. You have to be anti-racist, and if you are not actively being part of the solution, then you are a part of the problem. So here is some language to help you navigate Thanksgiving day dinner.

Yeah, let’s bring the national divide to the dining room table at Thanksgiving.
Hahahahaha...THAT will be MY contribution to “discussions about race” at the table the day after tomorrow!
Good one!
I love that cartoon!
I am surely going to PC hell for laughing at that.
Well...at least I’ll have lots of good company!
Why do liberals always feel the need to talk about some issue at the holidays???
Why can’t people just enjoy the holidays and rach others company???
Why must there always be an agenda???
Did that bacon thing work? That looks really good.
I love Thanksgiving, but it doesn’t have to be a huge meal that takes forever to prepare. Just being at home with my husband and dogs is enough for me.
I’m sorry. It’s not easy to cope with loss on holidays.
Sorry Bitches, I am going Full Racist. All I go for is the WHITE meat.
If they don’t like it, in the Holiday mindset...STUFF IT!
At your dinner table? Man. I could compare with my lib brother who turned up the jerk factor 10-fold after Trump won.
Yum.
It was a strange few months after grandmother died.
The whole Thanksgiving to New Year time is nothing but needless stress, travel, crowds, socializing, and grunt labor to keep someone else happy.
