Did Anglos Steal Thanksgiving?

Can't CNN leave any American tradition intact? Lefties tore apart the Christmas tradition in the courts and now they are going after Thanksgiving with stupid essays buy crying hispanics who probably owe their DNA to the sacrifices made by Americans in WW2. Panama would be a foul smelling Yellow Fever infested swamp and the Garcia DNA would be rotting in the jungle if it wasn't for Americans. Have some gratitude for America for a change you freaking left wingers or put down your pina colada and go back to your homeland.

The Indians taught the White people how to survive in America. The Indians showed them what plants
to plant, which ones would be best to eat, and where to go to hunt wild Turkey and other game.
They helped them survive through the winters.

Then more European whites came over, wanted more of the Indians land and food, murdered the Indians on some insane treaty that the Indians never really agreed to, took their land and continued the
process over the next 150 years.

Is this what you white people are celebrating?, the systematic murder and deceit of a race of people?
give me a break, I am part Indian, and I don't celebrate thanksgiving.
Its bad enoguh thath the State of Massachusettes stole the man name " Massasoit".

Ah ha, so you are part Indian eh? I thought you said you were pure black and an afrocentric who only wants Blacks to stay together? you are so full of shit.

My Grand father is part Carribbe and Arawak indian. The Grandmother has the Black Afrocentric genes. Yo Negro White wash!

As President, on October 3, 1789, George Washington made the following proclamation and created the first Thanksgiving Day designated by the national government of the United States of America:

Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor, and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me "to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness." Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be. That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks, for his kind care and protection of the People of this Country previous to their becoming a Nation, for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his providence, which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war, for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed, for the peaceable and rational manner, in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted, for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed; and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us. And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions, to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually, to render our national government a blessing to all the people, by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed, to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shown kindness unto us) and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord. To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the encrease of science among them and Us, and generally to grant unto all Mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best. Given under my hand at the City of New York the third day of October in the year of our Lord 1789.
