I'm tired of SJW's saying Thanksgiving is racist and shit.

Terrible things happened. They happen throughout history. If you want to blame people for not knowing the true history of how bloody it was, blame the education system that teaches a sanitized version instead of what really happened.

It still happened. I didn't do it personally and I'm tired of being attacked for mentioning I'll be having Turkey with family. I'm not even white either so being called a white bitch is extra annoying.

Eh, we could probably do without glorifying the day tbh.

I don't know anyone who actually thinks of Thanksgiving as a celebration of pilgrims and Indians having a happy time together. It's just a holiday to get together with family and eat special food, which is a kind of holiday that happens everywhere that holidays exist. Yeah, in my early elementary school years they pushed sanitized first Thanksgiving history on us, but my teachers back then had come of age in the 40s and 50s and had a lot of outdated attitudes, even by 80s standards.

The problem is First Nations people are still disenfranchised

Well, people do take it too far sometimes, of course.

What particularly bothers me about it is that - while of course it's important to be aware of the great shameful history of relationships with Native Americans - there's no actual reason for Thanksgiving as a holiday to have anything to do with that.

Especially since the "original" Thanksgiving was a pretty successfully intercultural event
