HAPPY THANKSGIVING everybody.

And here is some rebuttal:

Can we expect an anti-Christian screed on Christmas Eve from the Houston Commiecal?

"Indigenous people "

My family is Indigenous to this planet too, and since we are all related, what is the point of this article?

Jensen is a journalism professor

Hell, if that'd been at the beginning of the article it would have saved me a lot of reading.

May I take this opportunity to wish Herr Professor Jensen a Happy Thanksgiving! We imperialists will continue to allow you to enjoy the bounty and blessings of our empire even though you don't deserve it.

Thanksgiving is a white supremacist holiday?????

"He can be reached at rjensen@uts.cc.utexas.edu." After reading this junk I beg to differ, I don't think one can "reach" this guy at all.

"But when one brings up facts and interpretations that contest the celebratory story and make people uncomfortable, suddenly the value of history drops precipitously and one is asked, "Why do you insist on dwelling on the past?" "

STFU is fine.

This extremist viewpoint eventually leads to canceling itself out. Since whiteys are bad because they "slaughtered with mass genocide the Native Americans", we cannot celebrate Thanksgiving anymore.

But wait! Native American tribes also slaughtered each other, sometimes wiping out an entire opposing tribe and taking their land. So therefore, Native Americans as a whole must be demonized (as whites are), and N. A. holidays must also become illegal and uncelebrated. At some point, we come to the realization that EVERY group of people has done something bad in the past, and ALL of them must have their traditions stripped away as a result. Then...we have nothing.

Political correctness is a road that leads to nowhere.

There was a time, not so long ago, when a pathogen like this creature wouldn't have been allowed to breath this kind of feces in a skid row bar. That he teaches young people says even worse things. This piece of filth sickens me and the editors of the rag that printed his drivel, today on Thanksgiving, are less than human.

The pattern would repeat itself across the continent until between 95 percent and 99 percent of American Indians had been exterminated.

It is fairly reliably estimated that the American Indian population declined by 95% in the century after Columbus.

Very little of this decline was due to killing by Europeans. Almost all of it was caused by the merging of the disease ecosystems of the Eastern and Western hemispheres. The virgin field created among the Indians gave diseases from the Old World a field day.

At the time, this process wasn't understood and couldn't have been prevented even had anybody known what was going on. The germ theory of disease wasn't even developed until the latter half of the 19th century.

Interestingly, very much the same thing would have happened if more technologically advanced Aztecs had landed in a primitive, but germier Spain.

How does a country deal with the fact that some of its most revered historical figures held these views?

Why, we carve their likenesses in stone on mountain sides, set aside national holidays to remember these great men and eat truckloads of turkey every year around the end of November.

And if the Indians had succeeded in slaughtering all the whites and driving them from this land, how would that have been remembered?

Why, the carving of images, the singing of songs and annual celebrations involving food and sport.

Except all the sports teams would be named things like, The Dead Whiteys, The Tomahawked Pilgrims, The Scalped Round Eyes, The Tongueless Forked Tongues, etc.

Happy Thanksgiving, Chief!

Just so you know where he's coming from:

According to Jensen, the United States was "just as guilty" as the hijackers in committing acts of violence. Jensen wrote that the Al Qaeda attack on the World Trade Center The Pentagon "was no more despicable than the massive acts of terrorism...that the U.S. government has committed during my lifetime."

Well unless that nitwit hands over his house keys to an apache and he takes the next boat back to what ever land his ancestors spawned themselves from, he can have a nice big 'ol glass of STFU.

You would think if this guy is in Texas, he would be writing about the Texans taking the land from the Mexicans, who took it from the Spanish, who took it from the Indians, who took it from another, who took it from another...

But then, that would complicate the matter by showing a pattern that was started long before the white man showed up on this continent. Before there was a federal government to give you a place to live, you had to go out and do it yourself.

I used to feel some guilt about native Americans losing their lands, when I was a kid. Not anymore.

The Wilderness War
by Allan W. Eckert

"Because of the bounties placed on scalps, the taking of people of all ages and sexes soon became something of a business on the frontier. In some cases the colonists - or, later on, the Americans - offered bounties on Indian scalps, but the greatest trafficking in scalps came as a result of the wide range of bounties placed on them by the British."

"Because different age and sex scalps brought different prices, the scalps had to be marked for proper payment to be given. Such bundles of scalps ordinarily were shipped in large lots of eight to twenty bundles, comprised of eighty-eight to one hundred scalps per bundle, or no less that seven hundred scalps per shipment."

"Scalps taken for British bounties were ordinarily shipped in these bundles to the governor of Canada in Quebec. Each scalp was stretched on a painted willow hoop and further painted on the inside of the skin. The colors and markings were used in a wide combination so that all of the necessary information about any particular scalp could be had at a glance. The basic hoop and scalp markings denoted the following:"

What's great about this country is that anyone who believes they obtained their property unfairly from indigenous peoples are FREE to give their property to the local tribe and move back to Europe, Africa, Asia, or wherever else they feel more comfortable.

Until Mr. Jensen does this himself I'm not going to feel too guilty eating my Thanksgiving turkey.

Anyone fortunate enough to live in this land of liberty should thank their stars that our laws and culture are derived from England, which until then was the most advanced and free country on the planet. If it hadn't been, North America would be a third world Hell hole just like much of Africa, Asia, and South America are, where indigenous tribes continue to slaughter each other and tyrannical despots get rich off the land and the people.

That's what I'm most thankful for today - that North America looks like England, and not Zimbabwe

I have asked myself this question many times, but I'd like to throw it out for general discussion:
Why do people like this, who hate America so much, stay here at all?
I know the standard answer, money, but why would people who apparently loath the USA with every breath not just leave? And why doesn't somebody ask them that question?
