Okay, so I have mixed feelings about Thanksgiving as a holiday. I love it, because I get to spend time with my family and friends, and eat some DELICIOUS food... but I think it's complete and utter bullshit. Give thanks that the pilgrims came to this land, and shared food with indians?? Ya know what the pilgrims gave the indians?? Blankets full of Small Pox. After that killed off a whole bunch of then, they began forcing the indians out of their native land so that they could colonize and escape the oppression of England. So they oppressed another culture...to escape their own oppression. Yeah that's fair. Who gives a shit about anyone else as long as WE have what WE want...

THEN as times change, life goes on... now the government said "Okay, so our bad, we kinda fucked you and your people over... WHOOPS... okay so lets make it up to you... you are allowed to live among us...as long as you adapt to our culture, act as civil as we act, dress like us, behave like us, work and live your life as we do... if you can't...well... okay here is a random plot of land in the middle of nowhere...with some trailers on it... we will give it to you, we will call it your Reservation, and you can do whatever you want with it...its all yours!! No need to thank us.. its our way of saying... "our bad, we cool?"

I happen to have a lot of respect for native americans, and not because I am 1/16 Cherokee, but because they are smart! They figured out a way to get back at the white man. They have their casino's and they are taking the white man's money back one slot machine at a time. I think it is sad that Native American culture has been glamourized and exploited for decoration in a flashy casino... BUT at least they are strong and smart enough to do something with what they were "given" and making the best of life after what was stolen from them.

For me, the meaning of "Thanksgiving" is not that some Brit stumbled upon our shores and founded a new world... No No.

I am thankful for my friends, my family, the good things I have in my life, and I am Thankful to the Native Americans for not going buck wild ape shit crazy and slaughtering every white man they saw... So Cheers to the Native Americans, I am thankful that they didnt kill us all, and I am thankful that so many of the native american men are FUCKING HOT.

Even though my ancestors were in Sicily making wine...I still would like to say, Dear Native American's: You got a bum deal! You were fucked over big time and you didn't deserve that shit!!! You should all get together, and take over England and then be like " HOW DO YOU LIKE IT BITCHES!!!!"
