Forget all that turkey, stuffing and pumpkin pie, today should be a day of fasting and atonement for American “sin.” That’s according to Robert Jensen, a journalism professor at the University of Texas at Austin. Jensen, known for his hard-left politics, also calls Thanksgiving a “white-supremacist holiday.”
Jensen’s opinion piece “No Thanks for Thanksgiving,” appeared on the far-left, Soros-connected website Alternet on Thanksgiving eve. In it, he wrote how Native Americans suffered because of the “European invasion of the Americas.” He went on to compare the Founding Fathers to Nazi Germany. “How does a country deal with the fact that some of its most revered historical figures had certain moral values and political views virtually identical to Nazis?” he asked.
According to Jensen, Thanksgiving is “at the heart of U.S. myth-building. “But in the United States, this reluctance to acknowledge our original sin -- the genocide of indigenous people -- is of special importance today,” he explained.
Jensen has a long career in both working journalism and academia, including work as a copy editor at The St. Paul Pioneer Press and the St. Petersburg Times, as well as “volunteer editing and writing for the Texas Triangle, Austin (weekly statewide lesbian/gay paper).”
This wasn’t the first time Jensen has bashed America. He does so on a regular basis. Other Alternet pieces include headlines like “The Painful Collapse of Empire: How the ‘American Dream’ and American Exceptionalism Wreck Havoc on the World” or “What White People Fear.”
Alternet is part of the George-Soros-supported Media Consortium. It is one of 58 left-wing media operations that aim to create a progressive “echo chamber.”
“How does a country deal with the fact that some of its most revered historical figures had certain moral values and political views virtually identical to Nazis?” he asked.”
Most folks prefer to eat a well done turkey instead of listen to a half baked turkey. Gobble, gobble not Goebbels, Goebbels.
Well, that's just what this election was all about. The Democrats have this all planned out. White's to reservations (with no casinos); and non-white people get the USA. And boy are those white liberals going to be shocked.
Geez, another pea brain.

Jensen, Soros, Texas, gay/lesbian; all sorts of keywords in your typical political hit-piece.

There were only maybe 2-3 million Indians on the continent north of the Rio Grande. Some experts think there not even that many. That means most of the land was virtually uninhabited. Many Indian tribes had no qualms doing what European, Asian, and African peoples had done to other peoples from the beginning of humanity...invade other people’s territories and take it by force. The lefties who propagate the lie that all native Americans were saints and all Europeans were devils have it all twisted. Extreme cruelties were practiced by both sides. But the fact remains, a modern civilization defeated a thoroughly unmodern one. That is the way of the world.
The shrinks would just reinforced their prejudices. That’s what they have been taught, too.
The number was perhaps greater at one time or another. The population of Mexico in 1491 was perhaps the same size as that of France. As for the superiority of the “modern” civilization, please note that the average immigrant to Virginia lived about seven years in the colony. It took the English at least three generations to acclimitate their new environment. To do so, they had to utilize the technology that that aborgines had developed over time. For the longest time, they could not survive the winters without resupply from England.
A few years back this dirtbag abandoned his wife and kids and moved in with his boyfriend.
Don;t forget that Woodrow Wilson was a big believer in eugenics too—very similar to Hitler’s “super race” theories.
In arriving on the North American continent the white man bought the horse. An animal which ironically originated here long before humans and then migrated off of it. The horse did for the Indian what the wheel did for the rest of humanity. The whites also bought iron and steel implements and the firearm. Indians don’t ever seem to complain about their arrival.
These extremists will rail against America but they will never leave it. If he is so angry with America, why doesn’t he just leave?
Woodrow Wilson was a Democrat.
The America of the 1600 was vastly different from what you see today. The technology that the English brought with them was unsuited to this new land, including most importantly their agriculture. The scientific revolution had hardly begun, and its took generations for the English to learn how to live in this land. As for temperate, New England is less temperate than old England. Virginia and the Carolinas are much warmer.
I also note the indisputable fact that all the so-called leaders of "non-Western" "liberation" movements can do nothing but parrot the mechanistic worldview of Europeans: Voltaire, Rousseau, Comte, Hegel, Darwin, and Marx. And they claim to reject Dead White European Males!
Wow, I always thought it was more than that but then again they lived a hard life and fought many tribal wars. I hate the way Indians are portrayed as living in harmony with the Earth and all mystical and wise. I’ve read that there were areas where they had hunted deer into near extinction and they used to set forest fires to drive game.
My ancestors the Britons and the Scotts lived much as the Indians did and the clans fought over territory and raided each other. When the Anglo Saxons came with their culture and their common law which was a better system than the old tribal system of the Britons,instead of recognizing a superior way they fought with the Saxons and the Norse much as the Indians fought with the settlers. And, I think the Indians on the reservations today are in such a sorry state in part because they refuse to give up those old, irrational, mystical beliefs and embrace the 21st century.
Why should he? Obama and he have the same mindset, as does 90% of academia. They intend to transform American society by exercising the levers of political power.
Well, its was Norman England that actually conquered them, or rather that blend of Norman and Saxon which we see coming together in the 13th Century that subdued the Celts of Briton. As you know, the Scots have never achieved full acceptance by the English, not to this very day, and their snobbery may finally result in the end of the Union. Certainly if the UK goes into Europe, that is more likely to happen.
