This Thanksgiving Please Remember To Give Thanks To The 700 Native American Men, women, and children who were clubbed, and raped to death.

People don't really know the true meaning of thanksgiving..


It is supposed to be a day of National Day of Mourning.


It actually a slap in face to Indians the way it's celebrated now.

As a Native American from the Dine' tribe, how about we stop living in the past and focus on the future.

People fucked people in the past and now people are still being fucked. Be the change you want to see in the world and let's forgive.

These are days which racism and hate will increase unfortunately.

Why is it that every American holiday has to be attacked now?

I am a quarter Cherokee and a little Seminole Indian also, I Wholeheartedly agree that people need to stop re hashing the past it cannot to changed and unless they do stop this they will cause it to repeat again.

If a new world is about to begin ..let it be a better one..one where people can start to understand their fellow human and take care of the world we have been given. One in which we realize that there is something greater than ourselves out there and we must do this in order to grow as a species.

Fuck off Commie.

The Pilgrims brought disease, mass murder, theft of land, forced relocation and other injustices. Their arrival culminated in the death of 10 to 30 million native people.

At the “First Thanksgiving”, the Wampanoags provided most of the food, and signed a treaty granting Pilgrims the right to the land at Plymouth, the real reason for the first Thanksgiving. Yet, within 20 years European disease and treachery had decimated the Wampanoags.

At the time, most diseases came from the animals that the Europeans had domesticated. Cowpox from cows led to smallpox, one of the great killers of the native people. It was spread through “gifts” of blankets used by infected Europeans.

By some accounts, the death toll reached 90 percent in some Native American Communities.

The National Day of Mourning began in 1970. That year, Frank James, a Wampanoag, was invited to speak at a banquet being held by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to celebrate the 350th anniversary of the Pilgrims’ arrival.

In his speech, he wanted to talk about how the European settlers looted the graves of the Wampanoag. How they took their wheat and bean supplies and sold them as slaves.

The organizers wanted him to leave out those facts. Rather than deliver the speech, James and his supporters gathered at Plymouth. There they observed the first National Day of Mourning. Since then, the United American Indians of New England return to Plymouth each Thanksgiving to protest how the holiday has been mythologized.


.. Poor Native Americans ..

Stole it from SPAIN who was already here and claimed all of the Americas.

let us all endeavor, on this thanksgiving holiday, to feel guilty for something we had nothing to do with

Thanks

10 dollars says Susan Bates is a Jew.

shame some black people can't say the same...

Exactly^^^

How many crack rocks did you smoke to come up with that fucking ridiculous statement?!?!!

Many of the peoples were separated by the oceans on large land masses ..it stands to reason that in some areas virus's would grow that may not have been in other areas across the oceans...it happened all through history..it is a sad thing that it happened but it was nothing we could have stopped ...virus's spread ..especially to those who have no resistances to them because their bodies and lands had never encountered them before.

So blaming others for the outbreaks is not really fair..it has happened all throughout history to almost every nation and continent ..people spread out ..they travel..and so do the virus's with them..it was not planned.

Because Jews hate white Christian males and must destroy anything that was created by him.

Ok your off the hook for the disease i'll yield to that..

But raping, stealing, grave robbing, slavery, mass murdering and relocation?

Religious people doing that at that.

This every Thanksgiving.:ohlook:

Why are we still celebrating Columbus Day?

Although it has been recognized in one form or another since the 1800s, Columbus Day did not become an official federal holiday until 1937, when President Franklin D. Roosevelt, after lobbying from the Knights of Columbus, a prominent Catholic organization, established October 12 as the holiday. In 1971, Columbus Day was changed to the second Monday in October.

The Truth About Columbus Day: Why Are We Celebrating?

Christopher Columbus was the ISIS of his day.

He justified rape, murder and pillage with religion and funded his efforts with whatever he could steal.

Today, while millions across America are celebrating Columbus Day, the city of Seattle is celebrating Indigenous Peoples’ Day.

Should we continue to celebrate Columbus Day?

Today is Columbus Day, one of 10 federal holidays observed by this nation. Columbus Day commemorates the date (Oct. 12, 1492) when Italian-born explorer Christopher Columbus landed in the Bahamas.

Columbus had sought to chart a new sea route to the gold and spice regions of Asia. Instead, he was credited with discovering the “New World.”

Before being given its official federal holiday designation, Columbus Day was celebrated in many communities in this country dating back to 1792. Most observances where held to mark Columbus’ historic voyage.

Some of the celebrations also honored the explorer’s Italian heritage. Meanwhile, Catholic communities in this country’s largest cities began organizing annual religious ceremonies and parades to observe Columbus Day.

The History Channel’s website notes President Benjamin Harrison issued a proclamation in 1892 urging Americans to mark the 400th anniversary of Columbus’ discovery by ceasing “from toil and devote themselves to such exercises as may best express honor to the discoverer and their appreciation of the great achievements of the four completed centuries of American life.”

According to history.com, President Franklin D. Roosevelt proclaimed Columbus Day a federal holiday in 1937 following an aggressive lobbying campaign by the Knights of Columbus, a Catholic fraternal order. It was first observed every October 12 until being moved in 1971 to the second Monday in October.

Take a good long HARD look at yourself - the world is watching

Native americans never even had a historical chance to even approach similar brutality among each other

^^Psychopath.

Are you retarded? Indians come from India. This is America or whatever they called it before. Oh yeah! Turtle Island!
Turtle Islanders!

You sure ain't missing much.

Turtles are very much about MINDING THEIR OWN BUSINESS.

Anishinaabe -- Original People -- Shawnee here!

Bless you Brothers!

We can learn from history without carrying the pain of history.

Let us invite all people of goodwill to lay these burdens down!

Yes, my White ancestors fought my Native ancestors. But people like me -- like us -- emerged from the wreckage!

Even if the Norman Rockwell image of Thanksgiving is a myth, let us see the good in it. For a window of time two kinds of survival level peoples reached out in simple goodwill.

Let us shrug off the fools who claim to hate and curse Indians. They don't know me, they don't know us!

Blessings to all who undertake to study history free of preconceived notions with the goal of learning from it.

No one here has taken a scalp. No one here has gunned down children.

Let it go, Friends. Let it go!
