[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The records indicate that 90 tribesmen came and brought four deer to the feast.  And they all also ate "fowle" which could have been turkey or could have been something else.

Also, the woman (__ Hale) who pushed for this holiday was trying to bring the North and South together.

So the intentions were good both at the actual event and at the creation of the holiday.  [/quote]

[b]Bringing people together [/b]is no way to be woke.  Tearing people apart is the way.[/quote]

You don’t understand “woke”. You sound like a dumb MAGA throwing it around incorrectly.

The goal is to be MORE inclusive. Bring MORE people together. Include the stories and perspectives of the actual people there, not just the caricature white people fabricated later for ulterior purposes.

Of course that PP is a dull MAGA who thinks he or she is clever, making fun of liberals in the most tedious way.[/quote]

I'm the PP. Not a MAGA or a liberal, just an ordinary moderate who would like to see optimism taught in elementary school.  Bringing people together, as a foundation, is where I think we should start.  [/quote]

History isn’t meant to be “optimistic”.
