Her view of the history is very skewed.
But, I would also say, if one side or the other were to “make up” their own personal opinion about the history, which “fairy tale” would be better:
1) Thanksgiving is about violence, genocide and slavery. White people are always mean to everyone, we have a lot of issues with those white devils, and we will have our revenge eventually.
Hmmmmmmmmmmm. I don’t see how that little fairy tale will have a happy ending for anyone.
Or ...
2) Thanksgiving is about coming together, not just with family but with other people from other cultures and sharing with them and living side-by-side in happy coexistence. It may have ups and downs, but we dream of a day when we can all sit at the same table and enjoy one another.
Call me crazy, but that little “fairy tale” doesn’t seem like the worst story to tell.
That is a great way to put it, FRiend...and a Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
