Local Indians Reminded of American Holocaust on Thanksgiving

You can "invent" all kinds of lame political statements to to twist the holiday, but that's not what it's about.

...

You can spend the day at the White House as an act of atonement for our sins (past, present, and future) and wallowing in your guilt ( imagined or otherwise).

What part of the country do you live in that Native Americans didn't live in first before they were all killed off?

Sorry for the double-dose of sincerity here, but I think it's nice to take a minute and remember that while we're thankful for what we have here, we should all at least acknowledge the most underserved minority in the country, with the lowest life expectancy, and the price they paid for what we can have now.

Neil is very negative and always says "why do you celebrate people giving the indians blankets filled with smallpox to kill them?" ...then again he jokingly calls the 4th of July the day England gave us our country back lol

Neil's a negative Nellie. He just bitter about us winning the revolutionary war.

Goooooo USA!!!!

If it gives you ulcers and bouts of unrestrained guilt...go to work that day and/or give your your holiday pay back to your employer or to some wino on the street for all I care. Wallow in your misery.

If it's important to "Never forget" other tragedies and genocides, why not this one?

Because that's not the reason for the season.

Go spend your day off and holiday pay picketing the White House to protest the racist, xenophobic, homophobic, warmongering, genocidal, evil empire of America.

I'll be at home eating turkey, drinking beer, and enjoying myself. You can spend the day at the White House as an act of atonement for our sins (past, present, and future) and wallowing in your guilt (imagined or otherwise). Party on! More power to you.

wow, talk about bitterness of some kind there... who's going to be the one with the ulcer runnin' around ranting and raving about illegals at every turn....

It's only important for 200 years or so - after that it becomes unimportant.

I don't think the Holocaust is going to be a big deal 150 years from now - the world

will have bigger problems to deal with.

Anytime.

[Sprailenes 47]

I don't think we can forget when we are still feeling the effects of everything that has been done.
