The website The Black Commentator defined the loony left by calling for the end of the Thanksgiving holiday, since it's apparently an event for white supremacists. This is more about the Internet than the mainstream media, but remember that liberal blacks the news producers treat as sensible pundits -- like Julian Bond of the hallowed NAACP and Julianne Malveaux, the woman who hoped on PBS that Clarence Thomas would die young -- are on this website's board. Here's just a snippet of their anti-Thanksgiving rant:
Nobody celebrates Thanksgiving quite like Americans celebrate Thanksgiving. It is reserved by history and the intent of "the founders" as the supremely white American holiday, the most ghoulish event on the national calendar. No Halloween of the imagination can rival the exterminationist reality that was the genesis, and remains the legacy, of the American Thanksgiving. It is the most loathsome, humanity-insulting day of the year – a pure glorification of racist barbarity.

Good Lord.
Loony beyond belief.

Wow, they are seriously disturbed over at the DU. Talking about kicking over baby carriages - babies and all.
Yup.
All while Christmas shopping
But hey....It’s “just a rant”
Indeed, the Pilgrims, after meeting and getting to know the Indians, admired them a great deal and became fast friends with them, inter-visiting and entertaining, drew up a mutually beneficial treaty - a truly 50-50 one - that was NEVER broken - and they never felt the need, once they met them to ‘convert’ them but accepted them as they were.
It wasn’t until ALL of the original Plymouth Pilgrims and their Indians counterparts, like Samoset and Massasoit, were all dead, that the cr*p started = by the PURITANS of the Boston Bay Colony that overran Plymouth Colony...and DID NOT celebrate Thanksgiving.
It was the stiff necked PURITANS who wore black and white, didn’t allow singing or dancing and demanded the ‘heathens’ be converted, etc. For nearly 400 years, historians mixed the Plymouth Pilgrims up with this nasty bunch = and the schools perpetuated it = It has only been the past VERY few years that these ridiculous errors have been looked at...but the screwed up, mangled brains among us are not about to let anything like the truth get in their way.
There were some native tribes that the Pilgrims fought with - they were the enemy tribes of the Indians that made treaty with the Pilgrims = The tribes that were friends with the Pilgrims were in danger of being wiped out by their enemies = and the Pilgrims came just at the right time. Part of the treaty was to come to the aid of the other should either be attacked by the warring tribes - and both parties of the treaty had occasion to live up to it.
A pox on these numb n*ts
Trying to fabricate something out of nothing. Look at how HUGE Thanksgiving is.
I don’t think the writer was comparing American and Canadian versions of Thanksgiving. I think the writer was just being stupid.
What, pray tell, gave you a clue?
Of course this is revisionist "history" of the highest order, and conveniantly omits the fact that Islam were and still is the main black slave traders of the world.
Yet nothing is done to stop this crap from being taught in the schools, and propagated by the media.
So yes, you can expect this to grow worse and worse each passing year.
Yes.

This is how it starts. Remember 'Merry Xmas'?
Yeah, well, some other DU posters upbraided him, and the guy climbed down after a bit, which negated his "I have spoken" absolutism.
But it's an interesting display of DU grouchiness and self-indulgent ranting. Bad language, bad idea, bad manners.......the best of the New Class and their Blue State meme.
Meme? You're one of them aren't you? L0L They love that word! L0L
They breed turkeys to produce more white meat. Case closed.
Just kidding of course
It is rooted in Christian tradition of giving thanks to the Lord for an abundant harvest. It isn't very "commercial" like here in the USA. Even for the non-religious, it's a traditional family dinner get together, even though they forgot why.
Like here, it's gradually being eroded and attacked by Satan's little helpers ( Marxist moonbats.
There is good news from Canada today. Stephen harper killed the Koyoto accord, and got all commonwealth countries to sign a non- binding agreement. In short, there will be no accord until every country on the planet is equally obligated to reduce "greenhouse gases. Needless to say, all those african countries that were hoping to cash in aren't very happy, nor is Russia and China.
