Should indigenous Indian day be celebrated with Thanksgiving?

[52ndStreet]

Many American Indians see Thanksgiving as a day of mourning. They say this day called Thanksgiving, represents the destruction and theft of their land , America, and their people. After the Indians showed the white Pilgrims what plants, and animals that can be eaten, they were slaughtered, and their land stolen from them. Many American Indians see the celebration as a big insult, upon the most evil act of their genocide, and theft of their land. Your thoughts on this "Thanksgiving" celebration.?

Toss it in with MLK day.

Thanksgiving is about giving thanks to Almighty God and has nothing specifically to do with the injuns at all.

Of course, since libs really hate Almighty God and the idea that America is one nation under God, I could see the holiday getting officially shitcanned.

I’m going to eat some stuffing and pecan pie, and root for Dallas to lose. Thanksgiving has always been celebrated by me and my family. Everyone should do however they please.

What's the problem with Indians crying and anglos celebrating, 52nd?

They are both correct in their own perspectives.

The image of the towers collapsing makes Americans cry but it brings a huge smile on the faces of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians because they see it as another nail on Israel's coffin, the country that stole their land and sent them to exile.

What's the problem with the old saying:

One man's happiness is another man's sadness.

No, no, no, no, no. You already took over Columbus Day. You can fuck off and leave Thanksgiving alone.

Only a small handful of leftist Indians are peeved about Thanksgiving.

The rest are too busy counting the money their casinos and smoke shops are bringing in.

The Natives were decimated and their civilization collapsed after first contact with the Europeans long before the Pilgrims arrived.

But this white man bringing disease and death has happened quite a few times in the past. Stealing the land and natural resources, and enslaving the indigenous people.!?!

That's ok. The gave us syphilis, tobacco, and those stupid dream catchers hippies have.

So we're even.

I hear Elizabeth Warren will be protesting Thanksgiving by doing a war dance.
Kamala will protest by smoking a meat pipe.

You do realize the Indians were fighting, stealing & enslaving each other before the evil white man came, don't you?
Some of the tribes were known cannibals & slavers

In the late 1400s, a terrifying disease erupted in Europe, leaving victims with bursting boils and rotting flesh. The syphilis epidemic raged across the continent, killing up to 5 million people. For centuries, historians, and archaeologists have debated the origin of the disease, with some blaming Christopher Columbus and his crew for bringing it back from the Americas. Now, using DNA of the pathogen extracted from the remains of nine Europeans, researchers have found evidence that the epidemic was homegrown: Diverse syphilis strains were circulating in Europe, perhaps decades before Columbus's voyages.

The team went looking for syphilis, but what they found was a much wider array of Treponemal strains: not just syphilis, but also yaws, which today is found exclusively in the tropics, and a previously undiscovered strain with no modern-day counterpart. "We see that many different lineages were present in Europe, which we did not know before," Schuenemann says. What's more, the dating range given to two strains is bounded on the lower end by ages in the early to mid-1400s—potentially the first DNA evidence that syphilis existed in Europe prior to Columbus's contact with the Americas, the team reports today in Current Biology.

The idea that Indians have some sort of hostility to Thanksgiving is a figment of liberal imagination. It was invented so liberals can feel a made up solidarity. Most Indians are Christians and celebrate ThanksgivIng.

Trifecta, throw in Juneteenth with both of those.

The God of the Bible.

Or boozing it up.

What absurdity. The Indians were not peaceful, certain violent tribes preyed on other tribes, and cannibalism was big in many places, particularly in the Caribbean.

They set forest fires to get the game to run out; fires they could not stop. Etc.
