Millions of Americans today will gather around the kitchen table to celebrate Thanksgiving with their families. For Joy Reid, though, this is just another day to bash our beloved nation.
Reid opened her show last night by acknowledging Thanksgiving is a day of “cherished traditions” for millions of Americans who also enjoy “turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pie.” But then she said this:
“But it is also to unpack the myth of Thanksgiving. It is a holiday riddled with historical inaccuracies. It is built on this myth that the indigenous welcomed their colonizers with open arms and ears of corn. A simplistic fairytale interpretation of a 1621 encounter between indigenous tribes and English settlers that erases the genocide that followed.
It’s the truth that Republicans want banned from our textbooks. Because here is the secret they want so desperately to keep: we are a country founded on violence. Our birth was violent. In 1619, a ship with more than 20 enslaved Africans landed in Virginia ushering in two centuries of American slavery that left millions in chains or dead.”
None of this should surprise Gateway Pundit readers. In addition to her loathing of America, Reid has a long history of unabashed racism as well. The Gateway Pundit in January wrote about her ripping white Christian conservatives. Here is the video of her lashing out:

Typical Comcast whore
I hope “suddenly” pays her a visit in the VERY near future. ;>)
Pretty rich coming from someone who answers to ChiComcast...
“In 1619, a ship with more than 20 enslaved Africans landed in Virginia…”
Yep. 1619 - and those EVIL Americans invented slavery because they hate black people!!!
Thanksgiving doesn’t need a back story.
Can we just have a day where we gather with our families and pretend to enjoy eating Turkey?
Douchebags, woke douchebags everywhere!
Joyless Reid is welcome for find some country that was NOT “founded on violence” and move there.
You misspelled Communist.
pretend to enjoy eating Turkey?
= =
Well, the following days, with Turkey sandwiches - mayonnaise, mustard, lettuce, tomato on sourdough does not need pretending.
And a side of dressing doused with gravy.
Unlike the African tribes that captured and sold each other into slavery.
Not anymore. I choose to not be insane & listen to these nutjob Debby downers. They want to torch everything good & pleasant in life. I’m convinced that’s like sexual pleasure to them. Looking at joy Reid, I’m thinking she didn’t miss any of the food today.
America will never be that lucky.
Along those lines, Joy Reid supports a political party (D) that has re-enslaved African Americans by making them dependent on government handouts and contributing to new societal norms that have contributed to the breakdown of the African American family. What does she do that is a positive for American blacks?
She is simply a hateful racist.
That much hate must live in a very dark soul.
The LefTards yammer on and on about this, but do we ever see them selling everything they own and paying reparations to those they feel have been wronged throughout history?
Yeah. I didn’t think so...
Here is a true historical story of violence for Joy. My ancestor, Rev. John Roads/Rhodes and his family were brutally slaughtered in 1764 at Luray, Virginia. He was a pacifist, who embraced the Indians way of life, inviting them to his home for food, shelter and Christian friendship. In August of 1764, he and his wife were shot and died in their doorway by the same Indians he befriended. Eight of his thirteen young children were scalped and slaughtered, two sons were taken by Indians and the rest escaped. I don’t believe my ancestor ever owned a slave. He was known as a wonderful man who fled Europe with is family from religious persecution. The good news is, the remaining sons, who were raised as Christian pacifists, took up arms in the American Revolution.
She has Thanksgiving confused with independence day.
It is true. The Indians attacked first, however.
