And here is some rebuttal:

Can we expect an anti-Christian screed on Christmas Eve from the Houston Commiecal?
"Indigenous people "
My family is Indigenous to this planet too, and since we are all related, what is the point of this article?
Hell, if that'd been at the beginning of the article it would have saved me a lot of reading.
May I take this opportunity to wish Herr Professor Jensen a Happy Thanksgiving! We imperialists will continue to allow you to enjoy the bounty and blessings of our empire even though you don't deserve it.
Thanksgiving is a white supremacist holiday?????
"He can be reached at rjensen@uts.cc.utexas.edu." After reading this junk I beg to differ, I don't think one can "reach" this guy at all.
STFU is fine.
Liberals....guilty, self-loathing, angry and miserable.
This extremist viewpoint eventually leads to canceling itself out. Since whiteys are bad because they "slaughtered with mass genocide the Native Americans", we cannot celebrate Thanksgiving anymore.
But wait! Native American tribes also slaughtered each other, sometimes wiping out an entire opposing tribe and taking their land. So therefore, Native Americans as a whole must be demonized (as whites are), and N. A. holidays must also become illegal and uncelebrated. At some point, we come to the realization that EVERY group of people has done something bad in the past, and ALL of them must have their traditions stripped away as a result. Then...we have nothing.
Political correctness is a road that leads to nowhere.
This is the guy that said on 9-12-2001 on KGO (S.F.) radio that we should not seek any retribution..I was sick when I heard him.
There was a time, not so long ago, when a pathogen like this creature wouldn't have been allowed to breath this kind of feces in a skid row bar. That he teaches young people says even worse things. This piece of filth sickens me and the editors of the rag that printed his drivel, today on Thanksgiving, are less than human.
It is fairly reliably estimated that the American Indian population declined by 95% in the century after Columbus.
Very little of this decline was due to killing by Europeans. Almost all of it was caused by the merging of the disease ecosystems of the Eastern and Western hemispheres. The virgin field created among the Indians gave diseases from the Old World a field day.
At the time, this process wasn't understood and couldn't have been prevented even had anybody known what was going on. The germ theory of disease wasn't even developed until the latter half of the 19th century.
Interestingly, very much the same thing would have happened if more technologically advanced Aztecs had landed in a primitive, but germier Spain.
Those are some great rebuttals. That professor is the moonbat's moonbat! Interesting that he teaches journalism........
You left out 'despicable'...
Why, we carve their likenesses in stone on mountain sides, set aside national holidays to remember these great men and eat truckloads of turkey every year around the end of November.
And if the Indians had succeeded in slaughtering all the whites and driving them from this land, how would that have been remembered?
Why, the carving of images, the singing of songs and annual celebrations involving food and sport.
Except all the sports teams would be named things like, The Dead Whiteys, The Tomahawked Pilgrims, The Scalped Round Eyes, The Tongueless Forked Tongues, etc.
Happy Thanksgiving, Chief!
