https://www.yahoo.com/news/native-americans-mark-thanksgiving-day-mourning-133603996.html Thanksgiving is not a day of celebration for Native Americans, but rather a day of mourning as it marks the anniversary of the arrival of the european pilgrims who brought disease, racism, and opression.
I gotta be honest here.... what is the alternate scenario? At SOME POINT people were going to come to North America. And whenever that happened, they would naturally bring disease. The estimates are that tens of millions of natives died simply from contact with Europeans. How was that to be avoided?
Native Americans celebrate Thanksgiving. Two of them will be celebrating it with me this year. This will be the first holiday for everyone since the passing of my grandson so there will be some mourning.
I hated Christmas for years because my aunt died at Christmas. It still reminds me of her but each year I try to think of all the good things about her and it makes it better. My wife got tired of me being grumpy at Christmas and I realized why I was like that and made an effort.
What a crock. Some racist idiot and his 2 dozen loser followers. I'm celebrating Thanksgiving with my daughter-in-law who has several hundred times more Ameican-Indian dna in her than Pocahontas Warren has.
You'd be amazed at how many people hate the Christmas holidays every year. There's always some difficult relatives that have to be dealt with.
The last Christmas I spent with my dad (3 christmas ago) he had a breathing attack because of his emphysema and I had to call 911. I told him I loved him as he got into the ambulance. I never saw him alive again. He died later in the hospital.
It was 3 years ago almost. But, yeah the holidays are still tough without the old man around. Thank you. I appreciate it man.
I'm very sorry. I remember the last time I saw my father alive. Here it is over 50 years later and it still pains me. Thank God you got to tell your father how much you loved him.
If you came over here on a rat infested wooden ship with lice and fleas feeding on humans and rats you would be an infection too. The Indians should have wasted all the colonists as the first option.
