PLYMOUTH, Mass. (AP) — Thanksgiving is nothing to celebrate for Native Americans, who are gathering in the town where the Pilgrims settled for a solemn National Day of Mourning observance.

Thursday's noon gathering in downtown Plymouth, Massachusetts, will recall the disease, racism and oppression that the European settlers brought.

It's the 49th year that the United American Indians of New England have organized the event on Thanksgiving Day.

Immigrants from central asia?

I guess they preferred to scalp, torture and cannibalize each other.

Manifest Destiny!

meh. screw ‘em. plymouth isn’t our creation story anyway. its jamestown, a failed corporate venture where infighting and jealousies led the settlers to eat their neighbors (hopefully) after they starved to death.

now, that’s good ol’ american competition, right there.

Gosh, all the American Indians on my facebook feed are celebrating Thanksgiving with their families, not a one is mourning.

Just the typical white guilt fed college ‘Indian’ propaganda.

The Pilgrims and the Indians lived in peace for 50 years. The peace was broken when a faction of Indians attacked the white settlers, as part of a civil war among the Indians.

Two dozen Elizabeth Warren leftists with man buns are mourning while millions of Americans who claim Native American ancestry will be eating turkey and celebrating.

Screw them if they can’t take a joke.

If they don’t like it they can give up modern surgery, electricity, prnicillon, cars, heated homes, etc and live in a teepee.

Probably the same nuts from the pipeline protest. Professional warpath warriors.

[ZULU]

Put them all in an arena somewhere and charge admission.

I am sure most Native Americans don’t think like the’s jerks.

[SaveFerris]

The media sowing division once again.

Just like Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama.

Things got much worse, MUCH WORSE under his reign.

As we all know.

will recall the disease, racism and oppression CIVILIZATION that the European settlers brought.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

More media-orchestrated “news.”

Can you say “wag the dog?”

[JohnBrowdie]

Fire water. white wimmin. and they didn’t think up all them casinos by themselves.

ingrates.

"United American Indians of New England"

Heh. They must look funny with those New England accents.

Mourning is a natural reaction to disease and oppression. But being left the heck alone was not an option. Anerica is a resource-rich land and the French had also invaded. The Native Americans were better off with the Brits. Look at French colonies like Haiti. We got lucky.

And don't forget slavery! That was cool! Defeat a tribe, enslave them and then do whatever we wanted to them.

But then along came some white guy named Lincoln and now we can't engage in fun and games like we used to. Pfffft!

Yepper, had relations with Native Americans been as good as they were with the Pilgrims, history would have been very different.

This propaganda ploy is probably being promoted by the faction that hates the 1st Amendment of the Constitution of The United States, with its freedom of religion and freedom of speech origins.
