Far-Left Nation Debates Whether U.S. Should Abolish or ‘Decolonize’ Thanksgiving: Americans Can ‘Give Thanks by Giving Land Back’
Breitbart ^ | 11/23/2023 | Joshua Klein

Posted on 11/23/2023 7:59:12 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

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.”

They understood private property quite well, they just didn’t respect it.

I've always understood the basic position to be that if an Indian could steal some horses, say, then they were his private property as long as he could keep someone else from stealing them. He might give some of the horses away, but they were his to give.

Let them keep their personal property. It’s their real estate that they need to ‘redistribute”. And then go back to Europe. What? Not willing to do that? Then STFU.

I think Elizabeth Warren should be first to give up all her land and assets

So what would the “indigenous” do with “the land”?

They couldn’t hold it the first time

The left should ‘decolonize’ the U.S., especially U.S. government and institutions.

True, they should give away their possessions. Money is racist, too...I mean, if Math is racist, you need to count money, am I correct?

Homo erectus, Homo habilis, and Homo ergaster would be really hacked off if Neanderthals got everything.

Homo heidelbergensis is SHOCKED you would even make such a proposal...

We also need to get rid of laws that are noxious to the native tribes and let them practice their culture as was before the white man colonized this land. Things like that 13th Amendment that took away their right to enslave members of other tribes.

Their own culture and tradition states that the land isn’t theirs either but ‘mother earth’ possess all, she is just providing for us and we are her caretakers.
THEY do NOT know their OWN history and have changed their posistions over the last 50+ years.

Sorry for that. I generally try to avoid profanity, especially in FR posts, but sometimes “heck” just doesn’t cut it.
