An “anti-Thanksgiving potluck” planned for Monday night is stirring controversy on the University of Virginia (UVA) campus.
The event, hosted by the American Indian Student Union (AISU), aims to “discuss Thanksgiving from a Native American perspective” over a potluck dinner.
Students at the University of Virginia are holding an ‘anti-Thanksgiving’ potluck on Monday night. The anti-Thanksgiving celebration will provide a “contrast…with the typical American view of Thanksgiving,” AISU president Katelyn Krause promised an NBC affiliate.
Krause declined an interview with Campus Reform.
Nicole Bailey, Executive-in-Chief of the conservative newspaper, The Virginia Advocate, however, told Campus Reform that she understands the intent of the group’s potluck, but disagrees with this particular event as a means to convey their message.
“They think that by doing events that put down what people understand to be modern American’s realization of the American dream and American story is a way to raise awareness about the less glamorous parts of America’s history,” said Bailey.
“That’s frankly not true,” she added.
Marian Anderfursen, Director of Media Relations for UVA, told Campus Reform that the university encourages such political dialogue on campus.
“Our students are engaged in issues and they explore a lot of different ideas and we support that,” she said.
According to their website, one of AISU’s primary objectives is to provide “an American Indian point-of-view by participating in campus debates on diversity and voicing support concerns on actions of both student government and the University administration
Intolerant haters in the news...

““Our students are engaged in issues and they explore a lot of different ideas and we support that.”
Except the idea that “diversity” indoctrination is racist.
The 1st Amendment protects their right to throw this little shindig. It protects my right to say that they’re acting like a bunch of tw*ts. G-d bless the Constitution.

I can’t claim originality in that phrase; some dude on the “John Boy and Billy” radio program, the old curmudgeon whose name escapes me, said it years ago. He nailed it....especially now.
Do the Indian go on record with their rapes, tortures, murders, cannibalism and human sacrifice?
Of course not, only Whitey is bad.
As there is no response to this within civilized conventions, it should prove quite interesting when they received the response they so greatly deserve.
Guest speaker .... Fauxcahontas? /s
How about the Native American view on unrestricted immigration?
That worked out well for them.
I am sure their campus funding for Christian and conservative orgs and clubs is similar to those for the leftist groups....
sure.
If the Mohawks don’t include eating an enemy’s liver, this ain’t the real thing!
I take it that the “Native American” perspective is anti-Thanksgiving.
a big meal.. not a meal served over an open fire as the Pilgrims and Indians experienced.
I will enjoy turkey bird. Say my prayers and to give thanks to Almighty God.

Don’t forget the all important slavery! The Native Americans were quite happy to take prisoners of other tribes as slaves.
I bet they end up eating crow.
I am a Charlottesvillian born and bred, several generations back on both sides of my family. UVa is a cerebral cancer on the Spirit of Truth and Godliness in central Virginia. So many little brats with minimal IQ’s, pandered to by cowardly bureaucrats (”professional educators.”) They swarm and seethe in their mindlessness into the abyss of moral and spiritual collapse.
Someone please tell them to grow up. If you want ‘whiteman’ to mea culpa for whatever sins, you get your little backsides in gear to do the same for the vicious, benighted, and demonic cultures of your “ancestors.”

It might be cold at their dinner. I’ll bring them some blankets...
Some groups just migrated here before some others.
My ancestor came here in 1729 with a land grant of 5,000 acres in VA. He was not welcome in Switzerland because he was a Mennoite. He gained another 5,000 from the Crown. He notes that one day the Native Tribe simply moved on and did not return.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
(breath)
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Well said!
The best way to do the radicals one in the eye is to publish some of the great stories of yore, of how Indians were extremely patriotic and loyal to the US in time of war.
“The Iroquois Confederacy, having declared war on Germany in 1917, had never made peace and so automatically became party to World War II. The Navajo and other tribes were so eager to go to war that they stood for hours in bad weather to sign their draft cards, while others carried their own rifles so they would be ready for battle when they joined up.
“Unwilling to wait for their draft numbers, one-fourth of the Mescalero Apaches in New Mexico enlisted. Nearly all the able-bodied Chippewas at the Grand Portage Reservation enlisted. In a story that has been attributed to many other tribes as well, Blackfeet Indians mocked the need for a conscription bill. “Since when,” their members cried, “has it been necessary for Blackfeet to draw lots to fight?”
The point being that Native American Indians have long earned their place at the Thanksgiving table, unless, of course, they are Republicans who still hold great animosity to “Ol’ Frank” Roosevelt, who made Thanksgiving a standardized national holiday.
It’s been observed that your typical American Indian is more redneck than redskin. He likes his guns, his pickup truck, and his freedom.
Well, I’m convinced. I propose we replace Thanksgiving immediately with @#$%* the Indians, the Pilgrims Don’t Need Your Help Day.
Now that’s just sick!
(and I’m LMAO!)
Do the Indian go on record with their rapes, tortures, murders, cannibalism and human sacrifice?
A local pastor told me that before we arrived, when the Indians warred against each other, a touch on the head was victory. In other words, he claimed they never killed each other.
The crap people believe never fails to amaze me.
Thanks drewh.
Oh, and in a related story, ‘Civ sez Paul McCartney can go f- himself.
McCartney says skip the turkey on Thanksgiving

Or, how about "Students Wildly Indignant about Nearly Everything"?
I find it amazingly interesting and sad that seemingly the more esteemed, noble and honorable the founding of an institution of higher learning was originally; the sillier, more inane and meaninglessly self-absorbed the level to which they’ve deteriorated intellectually; e.g., Harvard, Yale, Princeton, UVA, etc., IMPO.
They are brain washed.
Give a liberal an inch and they will take a mile. So never give them an inch or a job.
Great post. They are a disgrace.
Yep I know some very good indians in Virginia and they worship Christ. Good country people.
I’m so glad I went to college before all of this diversity stupidity.
We studied hard, and on the weekends we partied hard.
It was an engineering school, so we didn’t have time for much anti-anything.
Heads full of mush. These folks will be in charge in 15-20 years. Does that scare you?
That would be unthankful. A narcissistic sense of entitlement.
What a bunch of spoiled-brat, freakin' ingrates.
Virginia Ping! If you want on or off the Virginia Ping List, please freepmail me.
Aww. Idnat cute?
