So go ahead and mourn. But quit your bellyaching and finish your creamed maize.

Are you sure it isn’t mourning for the turkeys?

Never heard this before. Around here the liberal alleged native-American “activists” like Ward Churchill go bats@#t around Columbus Day, but they’ve quiet about Thanksgiving. Makes sense, though. The libs are systematically attacking all our holidays and observances.

In a former life and a saner time, Thanksgiving was a time to celebrate friendship between Native Americans and English Settlers, both of whom are in my ancestral lines.
Why do we have to divide people up into fighting groups just to advance the dubious cause of political correctness?

Are these any of the same people who are eating themselves into diabetes caused by obesity?
At least the Navajo codetalkers realized that they had to fight for their freedom in order to share in the freedoms that ALL Americans, whether from native or immigrant roots, share in this nation.

I've never EVER heard a Native American person say such a thing. This is formed out of the 'white guilt' so many liberals carry.

There are no native Americans.
Just an argument over the time everyone got here. Some wish to confer special status on people who got here before others.

How does that punchline go? “Well, I was having Thanksgiving dinner and I wanted to ask my mother-in-law, ‘Pass the salt.’ Instead, I said, ‘YOU BITCH! You ruined my life!’”

Maize, what’s that?
To: Patriot62
I almost understand why they did this, as we are surrounded on all sides by native tribes and most of our cities derive their names from them.
That said.... sigh.

They've got Indians in their schools that were misplaced by pilgrims???? Heck! Let's go back a few thousand more years to dig up some collective guilt! Can we please come into the 21st century and just get over it! I can assure you there is no ancestor of any Indian in Seattle that was displaced because of the 'pilgrims'.
What a bunch of idiots.
I'm Indian, and it was my people who befriended the pilgrims and I'm not mourning one damn bit. Bring on the turkey.
