The Thanksgiving Myth
http://www.nativecircle.com/mlmT…gmyth.html
by John Two-Hawks
Let me begin by stating that thousands of years before the ‘official’
Thanksgiving Day was proclaimed by Governor Winthrop of the
Massachussetts Bay Colony in 1637, North American Indigenous
people across the continent had celebrated seasons of Thanksgiving.
‘Thanksgiving’ is a very ancient concept to American Indian nations.
The big problem with the American Thanksgiving holiday is its false
association with American Indian people. The infamous ‘Indians and
pilgrims’ myth.
It is good to celebrate Thanksgiving, to be thankful
for your blessings. It is not good to distort history, to falsely portray
the origin of this holiday and lie about the truth of its actual inception.
Here are some accurate historical facts about the true origin of this
American holiday that may interest you:
‘Thanksgiving’ did not begin as a great loving relationship between the
pilgrims and the Wampanoag, Pequot and Narragansett people. In fact,
in October of 1621 when the ‘pilgrim’ survivors of their first winter in
Turtle Island sat down to share the first unofficial ‘Thanksgiving’ meal,
the Indians who were there were not even invited! There was no turkey,
squash, cranberry sauce or pumpkin pie.
A few days before this alleged feast took place, a company of ‘pilgrims’ led by Miles Standish actively sought the head of a local Indian leader, and an 11 foot high wall was erected around the entire Plymouth settlement for the very purpose of keeping Indians out!
Officially, the holiday we know as ‘Thanksgiving’ actually came into existence in the year 1637. Governor Winthrop of the Massachussetts Bay Colony proclaimed this first official day of Thanksgiving and feasting to celebrate the return of the colony’s men who had arrived safely from what is now Mystic, Connecticut. They had gone there to participate in the massacre of over 700 Pequot men, women and children, and Mr. Winthrop decided to dedicate an official day of Thanksgiving complete with a feast to ‘give thanks’ for their great ‘victory’….
As hard as it may be to conceive, this is the actual origin of our current
Thanksgiving Day holiday.
Many American Indian people these days do not observe this holiday, for obvious reasons. I see nothing wrong with gathering with family to give thanks to our Creator for our blessings and sharing a meal.
I do, however, hope that Americans as a whole will one day acknowledge the true origin of this holiday, and remember the pain, loss, and agony of the Indigenous people who suffered at the hands of the so-called ‘pilgrims’.
It is my hope that children’s plays about ‘the first Thanksgiving’, complete with Indians and pilgrims chumming at the dinner table, will someday be a thing of the past. Why perpetuate a lie? Let us face the truths of the past, and give thanks that we are learning to love one another for the rich human diversity we share. END
Peace
HAPPY TURKEY DAY!!! IM GREATFUL FOR SO MANY THINGS BUT TO MAKE IT SHORT AND SWEET IM GREATFUL FOR LIFE LOVE FAMILY AND MY JOB. GOD HAS BLESSED ME OVER AND OVER AND IM GREATFUL FOR IT ALL IM TRULY GREATFUL FOR STUMBLING UPON CONCRETELOOP LOL LUV YOU ALL TAKE CARE!!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone….even the people I have beefed with on here. May everyone have a safe holiday weekend. (even Kramer cause God don’t like UGLY)
However, if Kramer get his ass beat Monday morning, good!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE MAY THIS HOLIDAY BE A BLESSED AND SAFE ONE. I KNOW I DONT KNOW ANY OF YOU GUYS HERE BUT MUCH LOVE TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES NOTHING BUT BLESSINGS AND PROSPERITIES. SO GO AHEAD AND EAT UP YOU HAVE A LOT TO BE THANKFUL FOR.
I’m thankful for the obvious reasons(health, family and friends), but also thankful for God choosing my place of birth. We often complain about things in our Western Culture but I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. Lord, have mercy on those who haven’t a pot to piss in and struggle to survive everyday. Maybe one day you will provide them the same blessings you’ve given me.
To all the CL staffers and members….we may not all be on the same economic, educational or spiritual levels but recognize that we’re all human and worthy of each others love and respect.
God Bless!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!

Happy Turkey day to everyone, gobble gobble.
Many people wonder and ask me if turkey is a good white meat to eat. I don’t care what color the meat is, it is NOT good to eat. Meat is a food for carnivores ONLY.
But I must say, if one does engage in flesh eating, white meat is far better than red meat. White meat is easier to digest (even though the body cannot digest any animal flesh in all honesty). Most meat-eaters prefer their white meat from fowl. And fowl is just that FOUUL! After all, the alphabet W is pronounced double U.
When we think of fowl, we think of chicken and turkey. This could also be said of white meat.
Now since our topic is the turkey bird, let’s get down to business on this foul creature.
The turkey is NOT natural. It is a genetically engineered product originating from the Biblically forbidden buzzard. We are told in the Bible under the Levitical Diet that we should not eat the flesh of this ravenous and scavenger bird: And these are they which ye shall have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray Leviticus 11:13
But Djehuty, the Bible does not say or mention buzzard. Well, let’s do a little research. In the English language, we use many different names to describe the same thing. Any good Bible will have explanatory notes in it. An explanatory note explains the word or phrase in the text. In my Holy Bible, copyrighted by Thomas Nelson, Inc. in 1989, there is a superscript with the number 2 before the word ospray (i.e. 2Ospray). When you reference the explanatory note in the middle of the page, it states buzzard
.
Clearly, the Bible is talking about a buzzard for all who may be in doubt.
The modern turkey is a crossbreed from the genetically engineered chicken and a buzzard. The chicken is genetically engineered from the African guinea fowl. Folks (or fouul [fowl] flesh eaters), this is some serious stuff to be messing around with under the notion of food. Chickens are coprophageous (dung eater) and buzzards are scavengers (carcass eaters). Feces and dead animal flesh – not a good mix, people!
The reason why the Biblical God gave the Children of Israel a new diet in Biblical folklore is because any time God chooses a particular people for a divine thing or function, God must give that particular people a new diet in order to clean them up. Diet affects your whole being – mental, moral, spiritual, psychological, etc. When you enslave a people, you purposely take away their native diet and give them a new diet consisting of degenerate and denatured things in order to alter their nature and therefore making the enslaved people easier to control. Why do you think African-Americans proudly and foolishly eat and enjoy soul food? They can’t help it! They are still mentally, spiritually, and psychologically enslaved. They may claim to be free (thanks to a racist named Abe Lincoln, who in reality converted Blacks into corporate entities known as 14th Amendment citizens), but they still eat the diet of enslaved people. Now please make sense of this. How are you going to be free and still eat like a damn slave? Justify it! That’s how. And how do you do this? Just say that it’s tradition, I mean, after all, African-Americans are victims of traditional paralysis. So even though a thing is bad for you, justify doing the bad thing under the pretense of tradition
.
Now here’s a thing a foul (ooopps! I mean fouul) eater [fowl-eater] should know about all meats in general and fowl [fouul] in particular. Meat is abundantly laced with sodium nitrate. Sodium nitrate is a chemical preservative, but a carcinogenic (cancer-causing) one. Yes, sodium nitrate combats botulism (food poisoning), but it fosters cancer. So take your pick cancer or food poisoning! It’s a Situation Catch 22! You can’t win (as my vestigial friend Adham Gordon would say).
Also, consider the fact when you eat turkey, you only eat the female turkey, as the female naturally grows larger than the male, due to hormones. Female turkeys are constantly shot up with synthetic hormones (chemical estrogen called estridiol) and thus, become so large in size that the male turkeys cannot naturally copulate with them. Therefore, female turkeys are artificially inseminated for procreational purposes. Think about this! You are what you eat!
And just like shit-ken, ooopppsss! I mean chicken, turkey meat is infested and crawling with worms and parasites. YUMMY!!!
happy thanksgiving to all!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
@ MS MOOR # 46, the exact same thing could be said for pork, but people still eat it anyway. I have scientific proof about the PORK!!!!
MAMA!! we already know your fat ass is going to be eating allllll damnnnnn dayyyyy.

Stop pissing on everyones parade. Man has always eaten flesh from the beginning and predating anything biblical. If you choose to be a strict cabbage head then good for you…but you are not guaranteed a longer life span or a healthier body by being a vegan. In fact, vegans happen to be some of the most pill popping, vitamin eating people I’ve ever seen. Why? Cause you are robbing your body of the nutrition that’s only provided by protein.
There is nothing wrong with being a carnivore as you moderate and balance your diet. You say that chickens and buzzards eat shit, but vegetables are grown with a combination of poop and decayed matter, so what gives? A plants feed off of decayed protein too. You call it “organic”, but it still is made up of decayed plant and other organisms.
I’m wondering, since every human on Earth has a total of four canine (carnivore) teeth, have you had yours removed? Guess you don’t want to mess up that smile, huh? No species if mammals, four legged or two, grow canine teeth unless they naturally eat meat. Otherwise you’d have a mouth full of molars, and chew like a herbavore. Stop denying the truth.
Not to mention, aren’t we supposedly made in God’s image? Seems like you got some explaining to do…not to me, but to The Almighty! Good luck with that one, lol!
OOOPS I MEANT @ # 48 NOT 46!
