Thanks Giving is about being thankful for America and escaping the oppression of the Brits taxation without representation.
It's about being Thankful and Entitled to being American. Only American hating douche bags resent that entitlement and twist it as a bad thing. As they try to make Somalian Terrorist feel entitled to come over here and throw acid in the faces of people they don't think living up to their expectations of home.
I'm Thankful that this year we're turning the corner on that shit.

Hold it, the 2nd part of that statement is not exactly true. The tax was roughly 3-4% ... that's hardly oppressive.

Today, I can legally see a hoe in London U.K., whereas I can't even do that in Boston.

The British Empire, with all of its flaws, was probably the most enlightened global power of all time.

THe Wampanoag hoped to use the Pilgrims as allies against other tribes, which was the reason their butt was being kissed.

A huge disease (probably smallpox) had just wiped out many Dawnlanders and the Wampanoag had suffered more than most. Their enemies, other Massasoit Tribes, were seeking to encroach on their territory and they needed the Whites as Allies.

"B-B-but, the Indians lived in happy co-existence with each other before evil WHITES showed up. Also, beautiful, true to their identity POCs never fight each other, unless evil WHITES put them up to it." Nope. Iroquois is Algonquin for "Black Snakes". Squanto loaded up the Pilgrims with horror stories about child eating, cruel, satan-worshipping enemy Massasoit tribes the moment they landed.

Did you know that Squanto had already been to Europe on a round trip, as a local pilot to Basque fisherman?
