I just looked it up:
Thanksgiving is a time when the Pilgrims came to America and celebrated by having a feast with some Native Americans in the area that helped them get food. It was a huge feast with many people there. Today we celebrate Thanksgiving as a time to get together with family or friends. Turkey is definitely a popular food on Thanksgiving!
Do the Natives celebrate this day? I bet this huge celebration would be now under discussion in the Netherlands. They would find a way to connect the mass murder of Turkeys and the natives. But reading the explanation I thought, it is kind of embarrassing, when you celebrate this or not. Kind people share there food with the first pilgrims and than nearly got extinct. I do not condemn anything because the USA was in origin the sewer of the rest of the world. After this came the adventures people and the people who had nothing ..Than came the cheap labor...But to become the strongest country in not even 200 years is an achievement and says something about the countries around wasting valuable time in developing them selves...It is called minorities , and its a serious tread worldwide because for many of them it is like stepping in a time machine and learn to be civilized.
I wonder if in 200 years a same festivity will be worldwide of a group emigrants/fugitives/religious fanatics, who remember us, sharing our food houses kindness with them and than wiped us of this planet.
