Thanksgiving: Why some Americans don't celebrate the controversial holiday

"Thanksgiving is considered by some to be a “national day of mourning”"

"
Like Columbus Day, the holiday is viewed by many to be a celebration of the conquest of Native Americans by colonists.

Many Native Americans see Thanksgiving as an embellished narrative of “Pilgrims and Natives looking past their differences” to break bread.

Professor Robert Jensen of the University of Texas at Austin said: “One indication of moral progress in the United States would be the replacement of Thanksgiving Day and its self-indulgent family feasting with a National Day of Atonement accompanied by a self-reflective collective fasting.”"

Thanksgiving is as much about the Pilgrims and Natives as Christmas is about Christ. Gather with your family, enjoy the food, and quit your bitching.

 

[EasyPeasy]

Thanksgiving is about celebrating all you have to be thankful for. If some moonbat wants to make it about the "conquest" of native Americans, have at it.

What are you trying to say? That only black people fall asleep in class? Racist.

Progressives are trained to Hate everything about America: our Freedoms, our Liberty, our economy ever our Holidays.

Maybe they should move to a country more in common with their world view?
