HAPPY (UN-DECOLONIZED) THANKSGIVING 2023 FROM VDARE.COM!

Thanksgiving is here again, and with it the War On Thanksgiving, which as I’ve said before is really a War on “Your Father’s America.”

The Left wants their partisans to start this kind of argument over family dinners:

The article DeScushin is responding to is:

Should America Keep Celebrating Thanksgiving?

Sean Sherman argues that we need to decolonize Thanksgiving, while Chase Iron Eyes calls for replacing Thanksgiving with a “Truthsgiving.”

This Thanskgiving, give thanks by honoring the treaties, by giving land back: support the claims of Indigenous tribes to federal and state lands that were taken from them.https://t.co/XUin9eK2Pn

Two Nation writers (both of them apparently genuine American Indians ) argue about which way to hate America on Thanksgiving. Sherman wants to forget the whole thing, Iron Eyes thinks we should have a Truthsgiving instead, in which we all talk about how wonderful the American Indians were, and never mention scalping knives, massacres, or torture.

I reject both ways of hating Thanksgiving (and America).

Talk Radio guy Jesse Kelly advises pushing back against this kind of thing:

He’s right about Aunt Peggy, but I’d like to point out that these arguments — which our readers, of course, could win with all the facts we provide about history — are probably not good for families.

But, to repeat myself once again: The only families these young vs. old arguments take place in are white families. Black families and Hispanic families are generally united politically on the Left — and united against what we call the Historic American Nation.

So enjoy your dinner, and from all of us here at VDARE.com, Happy Thanksgiving!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING FROM VDARE.COM!
