Quote: "You do realize that the Indians celebrated thanksgiving with the Pilgrims, right?
And you do realize that yes, there were cruel white people, but newsflash, there were savage Indians as well."
Yeah, those darn savage indians celebrating thanksgiving with us. The indians were savage because the English raped and pillaged their cities.
The worst part about it is how we educate our children of the whole disgusting affair. We teach them that the Indians were inferior (even though technologically they weren't). We teach them that the Indians were savage and ruthless, when in reality it was almost completely retaliatory. We claim that they were stupid for trading their lands, even though the indians were trading lands that were not theirs (but enemy indian tribal lands). The only reason the English took control was because the Indians were dessimated with disease the English brought over (due to poor hygene no less).
The English did not deal fairly with the Indians, and you know what, oh well. I'm just offended by the poor history taught in American schools about it.
So uh... anyways, what were we talking about?
Oh yeah, Thanksgiving was yummy! Got ham *AND* turky, I can't complain!
