For college students especially, American Thanksgiving might be one of the best holidays of the year. Free food and childhood nostalgia can easily eclipse its dirty origin story. In truth, Thanksgiving has racist roots that are widely ignored by the American public. The glorification of colonialism and stereotyping of Native Americans should make anyone, regardless of race, pause and consider the cultural racism that has been a part of our childhood socialization.

I absolutely despise the type of cretin that author this kind of anti-American tripe.

[BuffaloJack]

This American will not acknowledge anything racist associated with Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving was declared by George Washington himself as America’s first national holiday.

We must take back our education system.

Was this written by a 15 year old SJW dyke, or a tenured college professor. Hard to tell the difference these days

[Mr. Mojo]

According to progs, ALL of our traditions are racist simply due to being started by white men. That’s all it takes.

How can we ignore it when you won't shut up about it?
