DCPS Chancellor encouraging parents to talk about genocide for Thanksgiving

[Anonymous]

I see Brietbarts minions are out in full force. I suppose you finally learned if you express your racism in public you lose your job and if you act on it you can lose your freedom and money.

My family historically were racists and bigots. Great granddaddies and so forth. Doesn’t mean I have to feel shame for stuff I can’t control.

I honestly think this email was a bit heavy handed for this particular Thanksgiving because of the pandemic. People already suffered in various ways for the past 18 months and this is the first holiday some families felt comfortable gathering in awhile. I think he should have just wished everyone a safe and happy holiday to let people unwind for a bit. Our non-white family fully celebrated this year after not being together for awhile. Flame away, but it just felt like bad timing.

So is Christmas, Easter, and every other holiday you could come up with. And I’m sure you have many criticisms of the 4th of July and all the historical inaccuracies therein.

But what good will come from eliminating every tradition and celebration from a society? Is that really going to be an improvement? Must every festive occasion be turned into an opportunity to reflect on oppression and if so when are we allowed to experience unifying moments of joy in our culture? Can you even have a society without any traditions that cause people to bond, feel nostalgia, and connect with neighbors?

Im honestly curious what the end game is here. Is the plan to create new traditions and celebrations in the progressive society of the future?

Well we should obviously tear down the Greek temples and great pyramids, too (slave labor). Pretty much everything needs to hit the dumpster . . . Except a few blocks Portland or Seattle (whichever one has the free zone paved in human feces $
& addicts).

Tearing down white supremacy shouldn’t be something for you to scoff at. And the United States has no authority to tear down anything in those countries, so not sure why you’d even big to use those as examples.

Thanksgiving stems from our country’s evil past. I think if we truly just want it to be a day of thankfulness why do we keep it on the same day and keep up similar traditions?

Honestly I think because it doesn’t effect enough people is the reason why we don’t care. If it involved black, Asian, or non white hispanics I’m sure we’d care more.

Our country isn’t evil. Get a grip. I am so tired of people like you. It’s all so absurd and pathetic.

If some of these posters would get out of their little DC bubbles and engage with people who come from places like China, Syria or North Korea, they might actually be able to grasp the concept of national evil. But how easy it is to pose from their keyboards.

Nobody has a problem pointing out that the pyramids were built by slaves. But make similar observations about this county and conservatives get their panties in a wad and cry and cry. It’s pathetic.

Well, except, the pyramids weren’t built by slave labor.

This is DC so in our bubbles we only meet people who work w refugees and helping support them is almost a must for every family I know.

I take it you are white and have never seen a person who looks like your child held by the state unjustl

I love the US because we evolve. We had
Four years of devolution and now are pulling ourselves back up.

Sorry, not sorry that when we do it you can’t handle it
