MSNBC Hosts ‘Real History’ of Thanksgiving: ‘Mythology of White America’ Marking Settlers’ ‘Genocide and Violence’
Breitbart ^ | 11/24/20121 | Joshua Klein

Posted on 11/24/2021 5:19:02 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Author and attorney Gyasi Ross savagely attacked Thanksgiving, demanding white Americans “return the land” taken and claiming they developed myths to feel good about themselves when in reality they brought “genocide and violence” to natives. Ross says whites fearlessly kill Native and black Americans today through “state-sponsored violence” against minorities and modern slavery through imprisonment, and says the celebration of “white supremacy” continues to plague the country.

My response to Gyasi Ross:

Okay, Buttercup. Go back to living in teepees with dirt floors and crapping in a hole in the ground if that makes you happy. Just go away and STFU.

re: “More woke retardation”

Yup. And the Dunning-Kruger effect on steroids works to explain this too.

If it weren’t for white European pilgrims and settlers, the Native American tribes would be living in the Stone Age to this day, or until some other advanced civilization came to its shores.

North American indians didn’t really have any land to be stolen. They were stone age nomads who raped, murdered, enslaved and ate each other before any European got to this Land.

Return the land to whom?
The people the American Indians took it from?

Has it occurred to him that both his residence and his place of employment are located on “their” land?

Ah, the noble savage speaks. I will own up to white crimes against Indians. It’s a part of history, like it or not. He needs to own up to what Indians did to each other long before a European set foot here, as well as afterwards. I wonder if he has ever read LaSalle’s account of approaching an Illini village? From a distance, the villagers appeared to be standing without moving. Up close, it was discovered that all of the villagers were dead and mutilated, tied to posts after they had been slaughtered by the Iroquois. If he attacks whites for slavery, does he also attack Indians who not only owned Africans, but enslaved other Indians? If he wants to talk about stolen land, does he include land fought over by competing tribes, with the spoils going to the victors? Inconvenient truths race hustlers like to avoid.

besides the fact that settlers allowed over 300 years for the Indians, who said they didn’t own the land, to share the land, before settlers said ‘enough is enough’ the truth is a stronger civilization defeated a weaker civilization. Just as the indians that moved south to Mexico, central and south America and vice versa, conquered the weaker civilizations in their way. As has happened since the beginning of time.

I am a 69 year old half Mojave half white.

In all my years alive, it is ALWAYS a non-native highbrow with a cause WOMAN raising guano on this issue.

I DON’T CARE about this issue, about the Thanksgiving broohaha.

To G.I.’s overseas, a Thanksgiving meal is a touchpoint to home.

Happy Thanksgiving, y’all!

Poor old Howard, no warrior was he. Returning from his tour of duty so damaged in his mind. He blamed everyone for what he had done.
