Yea well, conquests have consequences.
Heritage hate, if your embarrassed of your heritage, then say so and move the frak on but all this ‘decolonizing’ crap is utter BS, period!
Islamists are colonizing America.
The majority of muslims in America are first generation immigrants.
They are not here to assimilate.
But go on smashing Western civilization like a good commie red dupe.
Does she ever bother to shed a tear for the hundred million victims dead from imperial Communism?
We can do better than the symbolism offered by this godless author, in only TWO steps:
1) Pray for the salvation of all victims of oppression and invasion, including those victimized by native Americans and native Americans victimized here in the distant past before we were born
2) Teach about the socialist horrors, including the first years of the pilgrims:
“The experience that was had in this common course and condition, tried sundry years and that amongst godly and sober men, may well evince the vanity of that conceit of Plato’s and other ancients applauded by some of later times; that the taking away of property and bringing in community into a commonwealth would make them happy and flourishing” — William Bradford
What is the name of the college she’s tenured to ? Don’t send your kids there.
St Mary’s. She’s a Notre Dame grad.
And all these years I thought THANKSgiving was a day to be THANKFUL to God for what we have.
>“Ten Ways to Make Your Thanksgiving about Social and Environmental Justice,” by Eve Bratman.
Or, “How to get put at the kiddie table for another year”
I recommend those attending this event donate their homes to the tribes that occupied the land back then. They will feel so much better.
do the indians still condemn each other for all of the tribal skirmishes in their own past?
I wouldn’t seat a Commie lib at the kiddie table on Thanksgiving where she can spread her poison to young minds.
Out on the porch with the family dog. He’ll enjoy the company and dismiss everything she has to say.
You lost.
Get over it.
Let them eat cake.

she is so full of CRAP! The Indians welcomed the Pilgrims, and actually helped them survive the first few years. Am sick to death of this...ignorance.
ALL the crap being blamed on the Americans, (small pox blankets) was done by the damn British...
I swear to the everloving GOD I can’t take to much more of this Bovine Scatology.
You're just trying to have a nice meal with family and friends. Some nitwit decides that's a fine time to lecture people.
Approximately 10% of native Americans believe the fraud that Colonists were at war with their ancestors. History is not being told in public schools or in popular media. With a few glitches the cultures began merging early on with members of each side moving into the communities of the other. In many cases the early years resulted in small tribes fully integrating into colonialist culture. So called Natives built homes in new towns, ran businesses, and intermarried.
The trail of tears was a small group of Cherokee leaders who refused to join the new nation. Most Cherokees remained in the reservations or moved into local communities. A few insisted on resistance and moved west. It was in the west where trouble occurred. Even there most of the tribal leadership accepted reservation status or integrated.
Too many Amerikans think like this. This Republic is hanging by a thread.
