ReplyA lot of Americans love the 4th of July so much, the Supreme Coart decided to go back to 1776!
ReplyAbsolutely, the atrocities that white america committed should not be forgotten nor should and victim catagories be excluded, but when i think of 4th of july and thanksgiving in particular are 2 that should be moments when we remember the indigenous populations that these 2 particular holidays explicitly opened up the atrocities of genocide, concentration camps, robbery etc etc. My logic says slavery was happening in the colonies before independence day, but that act encouraged the west expansion and fueled the newly motivated massacre of the indigenous, and thanksgiving is a holiday that mischaracterizes the relation ship and made a mockery of the treatment of the indigenous peoples here.
