Gotta go with Jeff on this one. Fuck Thanksgiving..
The holiday season is my least favorite time of the year. I'm only going to a family gathering because the wife twists my arm -- and I like getting laid. So, to keep the whoopie comin' my way, I make concessions -- while kicking and screaming the whole time. lol
And, Linker, what the hell are you doing with bones in your mouth? lmao

Happy Thanksgiving now that's it's official. (A brother can't well wish folks ahead of schedule, I wasn't sure I'd internet access before I left damn?)

Trust me I'm well aware of the pillaging I'm just redefining it for myself.
True History American History would require youngsters to be aware of its atrocities.

Norf you looking at it all wrong, for me it's just an excuse to kick it with my fam and all of us be there at the same time.
And what could be wrong with that?
No, I get that part. I'm just not with it -- for all the reasons that Acrid stated. I personally choose not to associate with that day in any way if at all possible. I wouldn't knock a person for wanting to redefine it, love it, or just flat out celebrate its entire history. It's just not for me.

Well the native Americans did celebrate some sort of harvest before the winter set in even before European religious cults did the ol' switcheroony. Hmmm..the term Native American is a bit broad. If you were born in this country shouldn't that make you Native American? If you're not native to this country than what country are you native to? That also reminds me. If America didn't officailly become independent in 1776, America technically only had slavery as an institution for 89 yrs.
