Thanksgiving, a day for celebration, the bringing together of communities. The day many years ago that the Natives of the Americas came to gather with the Pilgrims to share food and prosperity. Have had a few Americans wish me a happy thanks giving today.
It just sickens me that people believe that is what thanksgiving is about. A whole nation under a vale thinking that this bullshit is true. This never happened. Not like that anyway. The natives did eat food with the pilgrims, when they first arrived as they were starving as they did not have the resources themselves and the Natives gave them food so they would not starve. Only to be slaughtered in the millions in the next few decades to come. Over 10 million reduced to well under 1 million.
So the next person on MSN to say happy "thanksgiving" to me, I'm going to fucking rip their head off.
