today is the 400th anniversary of the Pilgrims crossing the Atlantic and signing the historic Mayflower Compact

God Bless America!

The forgotten, but pivotal, Mayflower Compact

But for many Americans today, this once well-known story barely stirs a connection with Thanksgiving — much less with America’s earliest foundations of civil and religious liberty.

The Mayflower Compact was essentially a document that authorized religious freedom to people who were victims of religious bigotry in England under a decadent monarchy.

The Mayflower Compact was essentially a document that authorized religious freedom to people who were victims of religious bigotry in England under a decadent monarchy.

The story I heard was the Pilgrims, aka the Puritans, thought that they were Holier Than Thou, and their shit never stank, so therefore they should lord over and control everyone else. A pretty austere lot, they desperately wanted to ban Christmas, for example. Anyways the rest of England wasn't thrilled by that idea, so the Puritans said: "If you're not going to submit to us, that means you're persecuting us! We're leaving!!" And the rest of England said: "Whatever. Don't let the door hit your asses on the way out."

As every public school child knows, the first Thanksgiving took place in 1621, when our Pilgrim forefathers took a break from slaughtering Peaceful, Environmentally Friendly, Indigenous Peoples to invite them to dinner in order to infect them with smallpox, before embarking on their mission to fry the planet so that the world would end on Jan. 22, 2031.

Consider this description of the Pilgrims’ treatment of the Indigenous peoples:

“They were the worst of conquerors. Inordinate pride, the lust of blood and dominion, were the mainsprings of their warfare; and their victories were strained with every excess of savage passion.”

Except that’s not a description of the Pilgrims’ treatment of Indigenous peoples. It’s a description of some Indigenous people’s treatment of other Indigenous peoples, written by the late Francis Parkman, Harvard professor and the world’s foremost Indian scholar.

If the Indigenous peoples were slaughtering each other that meant it was Good, Moral and Jesus Approved that White Christians come to America and slaughter them, too.

but that was 400 years ago when cruelty was practiced all over the world, incluing by the Indians themselves

It seems to me that cruelty against minorities is still alive and well to this day.
This country has made no progress.

Is that all you can say?

every black failure who hates whites has a story to tell.

they didnt finish school, or got mixed up with drugs, or were busted by the cops, or got pregnant and immediately went on welfare.

or all of the above

its the same old story that black race hustlers choose to ignore
