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.”"

It's only controversial for the Un-Americans. Typical 1984......... erase history because for some its offensive

-Geaux

Ah yes, you're un-American if you don't agree with you.

Has nothing to do with me, take it up with American history. It's Un-American trying to constantly erase history

-Geaux

Why is it "un-American" to "constantly erase history"? America has been doing it for along time.

Indians should be more thankful that the white man came along and showed them stuff, otherwise why aren't they all still living in teepees and riding horses if they didn't like what we brought them?

I thought the white man brought the horses over! I could be wrong.

China has the same attitude about Tibet and Xinjiang. Apparently it's better to have a decent flat but no culture.

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.

Gathering with my family and no bitching won't fit in the same day.

They need to quit their bitching. If the Indians would have have an immigration policy like Trump and built a wall and not had lax asylum criteria then they would have had got over run by Illegals, would they?

Little known fact. Native Americans had 27 different words that mean "lock him up!!"

Lincoln made Thanksgiving Day official during the worst part of American history. He had the worst job in the worst time and he said we all need to stop and give thanks to God.

If some Eyore's want to pout and navel gaze that is their problem, sucks to be them.
