Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Americans. Hope you all have a special day.
For many years I refused to celebrate thanksgiving, though being out of the country for a number of them made that easy. When I came back to the country, I used to get together with friends and we'd celebrate "Anti Thanksgiving," and we'd talk about the horrors that were committed against the native people, and we'd go around the table sharing all the things for which we were NOT thankful.Originally Posted by Trillcat
This day is sad to me.
What are we being thankful for?
Yay, the native people helped the intruders, gleee.
They were then destroyed outright. gone, cultures destroyed. Genocide.
I hate this day.
