“The Wampanoag . . . didn’t have the numbers to fight off their rivals, the Narragansett.”
Not possible. Native Americans were all peaceful and kumbaya-like with each other.

Right off the bat, it’s clear that only their version of “the truth” is what the truth will be.

Newsqueak. Take that crap somewhere else. I think Gaza could use a news rag. Toilet paper is hard to get over there.

Rush Limbaugh told the story of the first Thanksgiving everywhere until he could no longer. It is an excellent telling.

senior lecturer in the African American Studies Department at the University of Maryland College Park This guy Nichols pimps mythical African American history so he decides to take his racist hate out on the Pilgrims.

Thanksgiving is a time for friends and family to eat together. I doubt any body talks about pilgrims or colonizing any place.
The bastards on the left invented all this nonsense because they want to destroy this country.
None of my ancestors came here as pilgrims or colonizers.

Egregious rewriting of history.
It isn't hard. Just omit anything that disagrees with your narrative. Then make up quotes about the rest. Don't worry about being caught. The Wokesters will never punish falsehoods which advance the cause.
I recommend this book: Not Stolen The Truth About European Colonialism in the New World.

Truth from Newsweek? Seriously?

Yeah you know if Thanksgiving had no pilgrim narrative but was simply a harvest festival giving thanks to God it would be attacked for the religious aspect and called divisive and offensive. The whole idea is anathema to leftists and their religion.

The real culprit is disease. My understanding is that most "Native Americans" died before ever seeing a "white man" as the diseases travelled faster than the colonists.
We need to have a day where we all yell and scream profanities at diseases. We should stomp our feet as well, but not in any culturally appropriating way.

The proclamation of Thanksgiving that Lincoln made wasn’t about Indians or any kind of harvest celebration.
