We slaughtered the Indians so we could have a meal? But thats what people are taught in our schools from kindergarten through college,,,that Thanksgiving is a celebration of genocide.

Ronan Farrow should pack up all his worldly belongings along with all of his guilt and self loathing and move back to Europe.

Indians were killing other indians long before they showed up and killed off the europeans that were here before them. As proven by artifacts discovered that show they predate the earliest indian artifacts.

We just finally came back and took it back.

Really only whites killed Indians? The Pequots and the Mohgans fought each other and they fought other tribes.

“This Thanksgiving, let’s give thanks for what we have and also awkwardly apologize to the Native Americans we slaughtered to get it.”

As someone born in a family of “Native Americans” aka INDIANS, I think this person is an IDIOT! Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday!

Even Davey Crocket was ashamed of what we did to the Indians.

In the original Battlestar Galactica asks the cylons “how does one alter one side of a treaty”. The cylon replies, “when there is no other side.”

Many many times, after agreeing to treaties with the indians, the US govt. unilaterally altered the terms.

Folks

This mindset is a cornerstone of progressive ideology

A soft race war on white Christian tradition and legacy worldwide

Our president believes it

Shall we submit?

It's worth remembering that with the possible exception of East Africa, where the human race apparently originated, every nation on Earth was settled by immigrants. People don't grow up out of the soil, they originally come from somewhere else. The American Indians are the descendants of immigrants, just as are the rest of us living here.

It's also worth remembering the difference between hunter/gatherers and farmers. A population that depends on hunting and gathering can exist only with a low population density. It takes a lot of area to feed a hunter/gatherer. By contrast, it takes a much smaller area to feed a farmer, and farming populations can have a much higher population density. A hunger/gatherer will look at the territory and consider it full. When the farmers arrive, they look at the same territory and consider it empty. That's basically what happened when Europeans arrived in North America.

There are probably more Indians alive in North America than there were in 1492. The survivors of the alleged genocide have a much higher standard of living than they would have had if the Europeans had never shown up. They should be grateful for the technology and the ideas of freedom and human rights that came along with the Europeans.
