Re: Black Friday Equivalents

Or, you know, not. The US turkey day is chock-a-block with representations of the 'Pilgrim mothers and fathers' and the 'friendly Indians' and even in school, the real history of this 'holiday' is utterly ignores. Frankly, i find that kind of cutesy erasure pretty gross.

But don't take my word for it - take it from an actual Native person.

I don't know about you but I hardly see any of that anymore. Thanksgiving is more of a generic "harvest festival/give thanks" kind of holiday these days, and if anything I see people using it as an opportunity to talk about indigenous cultures and how screwed over Native Americans were, I never see anyone talking about how great Pilgrims were, about "helpful Indians" or whatever. I get that Americans used to put a bigger emphasis on the "first Thanksgiving" and use it as an excuse to crow about how great the Pilgrims were, etc. but almost everyone realizes how not cool that is anymore

I mean Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays because in general I think taking time to spend with people you care about and to acknowledge how much you have to be thankful for is FUCKING IMPORTANT and people don't do enough of that (most people just complain incessantly about how shitty their lives are, myself included), I wish people wouldn't shit it up this way when harvest festivals pre-dates colonization of the Americas anyway (and every other culture gets to have one without people whining about it). Can I have just one positive moment in my life please

I'm not stopping you from having anything. I merely put forth my opinion of that day, much as you have.
