are you anti thanksgiving Leah?


If so that's fine, create a new thread about it, but don't take over this thread of people talking about what they are thankful for by
posting about Turkey advocacy and how the colonials poisoned tons of indians.


It doesn't mix well.

-----------------------------------

I am thankful for all the new people I have met through the shizz, Sherv, Colin, Steph, Mig, Beth, Matsu, Raub, and so many others.
I am thankful for my job my family, my friends, my new house and the ability to travel.
I have come along way from where I was as a teenager and have far surpassed my realistic goals in life. ( I had low expectations, what can I say )
So I am consistently aware of this and thankful not just today but all the time of these things.

since when do shizz threads follow a rule of having only comments that "mix well"? if you go to almost any thread you will find an original topic that goes off into several different tangents, depending on what people want to say. so i said what i wanted to say in a "happy thanksgiving" thread. if there have been new rules established about threads requiring a harmonious, linear, predictable flow, then, my apologies, i guess i didnt get the memo.

happy thanksgiving!


im thankful for:

free speech on the shizz!
community dialogue!
exchange of information and ideas!

A brief history of Amerikkka's celebration of genocide:

In 1621 the myth of thanksgiving was born. The colonists invited Massasoit, chief of the Wampanoags, to their first feast as a follow up to their recent land deal. Massasoit in turn invited 90 of his men, much to the chagrin of the colonists. Two years later the English invited a number of tribes to a feast "symbolizing eternal friendship." The English offered food and drink, and two hundred Indians dropped dead from unknown poison.
:
: The first day of thanksgiving took place in 1637 amidst the war against the Pequots. 700 men, women, and children of the Pequot tribe were gathered for their annual green corn dance on what is now Groton, Connecticut. Dutch and English mercenaries surrounded the camp and proceeded to shoot, stab, butcher and burn alive all 700 people. The next day the Massachusetts Bay Colony held a feast in celebration and the governor declared "a day of thanksgiving." In the ensuing madness of the Indian extermination, natives were scalped, burned, mutilated and sold into slavery, and a feast was held in celebration every time a successful massacre took place. The killing frenzy got so bad that even the Churches of Manhattan announced a day of "thanksgiving" to celebrate victory over the "heathen savages," and many celebrated by kicking the severed heads of Pequot people through the streets like soccer balls.
:

The most interesting part of thanksgiving is the propaganda that has been put out surrounding it. During the 19th century thanksgiving traditions consisted of turkey and family reunions. Whenever popular art contained both pilgrims and Indians, the scene was usually characterized by violent confrontations between the two groups, not a multi-cultural/multi-racial dinner. In 1914 artist Jennie Brownscombe created the vision of thanksgiving that we see today: community, religion, racial harmony and tolerance, after her notorious painting reached wide circulation in Life magazine.
:
: Adamant protests to the celebration of thanksgiving have taken place over the years. As early as 1863 Pequot Indian Minister William Apess urged "every man of color" to mourn the day of the landing, and bury Plymouth Rock in protest. In 1970 Apess got his way. 1970 was the "350th" anniversary of thanksgiving, and became the first proclaimed national day of mourning for American Indians.

 
Happy Thanksgiving!

"Goody Two Shoes" is probably my favorite dance tune ever.

I think I already mentioned to HFE that when I was a pup, I only went to three concerts total: Adam Ant, The Who, and Joan Armatrading. And I still think Phil Buckman is equally talented. And I'm a tool, I hear.

(And I don't mean anything by running with the adam-ant thread. Just happy memories.)
