Thanksgiving canceled? Liberals who say America's holiday promotes genocide and White supremacy

so your falsely accusing all liberals on this board of that? sad!

 

same here, seems some on the right are believing fake news

 

Which one of the links in the FOX article are fake?

 

same, not a one

 

next we will be hearing there is a war on Christmas from the fake news

 

So you're falsely accusing all RW-ers of this? Sad!

See what I did there?

 

You didn't answer my question - which of those links are fake?

Also, BLM itself is calling Christmas a capitalist-racist - oh geez, I don't even know anymore. Look HERE.

You wanna see what a war on Christmas looks like, there ya go - and if you think BLM is RW, then I dunno what to say.

 

CNN’s Lemon said that saying Merry Christmas is racist. Yes, he really said that.

 

How many truly know the history of 'the first' Thanksgiving?

 

yep, dumb people on the left too, guess no one told him most blacks celebrate Christmas too

even non-Christians celebrate Christmas, it's a federal secular holiday after all

 

it's a nice tradition

"First Thanksgiving Meal"

https://www.history.com/topics/thanksgiving/first-thanksgiving-meal

"At the first Thanksgiving, colonists were likely outnumbered more than two to one by their Native American guests. Winslow writes: “many of the Indians coming amongst us, and amongst the rest their greatest king Massasoit, with some ninety men.” The preceding winter had been a harsh one for the colonists. Seventy-eight percent of the women who had traveled on the Mayflower had perished that winter, leaving only around 50 colonists to attend the first Thanksgiving. According to eyewitness accounts, among the pilgrims, there were 22 men, just four women and over 25 children and teenagers."

 

any that says thanksgiving is canceled is fake

 

yes, some Christians, black and white are concerned about the over commercialization of Christmas

but that truth is, that is what made Christmas what it is today, before that, it was just a raucous carnival holiday

"Christmas history in America"

https://www.history.com/topics/christmas/history-of-christmas

"The pilgrims, English separatists that came to America in 1620, were even more orthodox in their Puritan beliefs than Cromwell. As a result, Christmas was not a holiday in early America. From 1659 to 1681, the celebration of Christmas was actually outlawed in Boston. Anyone exhibiting the Christmas spirit was fined five shillings."

"It wasn’t until the 19th century that Americans began to embrace Christmas. Americans re-invented Christmas, and changed it from a raucous carnival holiday into a family-centered day of peace and nostalgia. "

 

Here's the problem: We keep listing example after example, after example of people who say Thanksgiving - and now Christmas - is bad. Your only defense - and Dairy's and that of other left-leaning posters - is anecdotal: "Well, WE had a great Thanksgiving!" - followed by gaslighting "I'm sorry YOURS was ruined!" - as if they know it was." You're not seeing the RW complaining about TG, you're seeing the Left doing it. And when FOX reports on it, the response is "Bad RW, bad!"

Who here on the left here is actually commenting on these LW news stories and commentaries where TG is slammed? If Steve N and I cared to we could come up with many, many more examples.

 

you're trying to say the entire left hates thanksgiving and Christmas is not proven by showing a few outliers

if that is true, I can show a few Christians that hate Christmas to prove all Christians hate Christmas

They're not saying cancelled - oh, boy.

Let's try it another way: Which one of the stories that @Bluesguy mentioned when he went thru the FOX story is real and which made-up?

 

But all the outliers are all left-leaning, and many have influence due to their standing in the media - or even ARE the media. There's so many out there that the outliers are becoming the norm.

I am aware of that - I think they are Messianic Jews there? They actually do have a point in this regard; Easter and not Christmas should be the primary holiday Christians celebrate - and yes it has gotten entirely too commercialized. But that's an entirely different point than "Christmas is racist and if you celebrate it that makes you a racist!"

 

nope, some on the right hate those holidays too - doesn't mean all the right hates them

 

read the title

 

Thanksgiving makes all the right people angry...and for that I am thankful.

 

Im accurately accusing liberals of doing it. I've seen it myself, and its very sad.

 

you may have seen a couple do it, but to say all do it is fake news

 

He's an idiot.

 

You can choose to bury your head in the sand if you choose.

I wont.

This is a democrat issue.
