The Nation is honoring this year’s Thanksgiving by featuring a debate over whether America should keep celebrating the national holiday or not. One side is claiming it is “steeped in colonialism, violence, and misrepresentation” and needs to be “decolonized,” while the other goes further, describing Thanksgiving as a “lie” that should be completely abolished and replaced with a “Truthsgiving,” where Americans can “give thanks by… giving land back.”

Why don’t they give that idea to the Palestinians?
Bingo
The real story about Thanksgiving is about individual, free enterprise capitalism destroying agricultural collectivism.

Wasn’t there a study recently showing the first peoples in North America had European ancestry? Or was that covered up? Does that “count” for anything, or we still have to feel bad for being white? Asking for a friend...
DEPORT ALL REDS!
The interesting thing about those leftist calling for this, do t give the same recognition to Israel
Of all the countries on the face of the earth, I can think of no others that can trace back their claims to a territory more than the Jews of Israel
If someone can let me know, all the countries that exist today were established relatively recently and with no real historical background
Europe, Mexico, Africa, China, yes Russia are recent creations, generally grout to existence through war and conquest
EXACTLY WHERE DO THESE PEOPLE CURRENTLY LIVE?????
TRIBAL WARFARE IS STILL TRIBAL WARFARE-—
PROVEN IN ISRAEL/HAMAS.
Give what back? Back to who?
America did not exist until it was created by white Europeans. There are, perforce, no “Native Americans”, since there was no “America” for them to be natives of, and if most of them are “indigenous” to anywhere it would be East-Central Siberia.
Should the land be taken back to how it was before returned?
Do they get back Chicago as is, or does it have to be made back into prairies with buffalos running around.
Well said.
Exactly.
The Apache invaded Texas in the 1600s (after the Spanish had already arrived) and drove out the native tribes. The Comanche invaded Texas in the 1700s and drove out the Apache. Mexico won it’s war for independence from Spain in 1821 and annexed Texas. Texas won its war for independence from Mexico in 1836, so Texas was part of Mexico for a total of 15 years, 200 years ago.
Who the hell are we supposed to give Texas “back” to?
Hey leftists, you can give up Thanksgiving if you want. The rest of us like it and will continue to celebrate. But thanks for asking.
Dear wagonburners...
I’ll show you the deed for my land, you show me yours.
They can start with Bill Gates. He has a lot of land.
Besides, they just stole the land from somebody else.
Yes, who are they going to “give the land back to”? The Indians? They came over through the Aleutian Islands. So who did they “steal” it from?
