I wonder if non-american understand why Thanksgiving is celebrated and it shouldn't be Celebrated.. What the pilgrims did to the Native American was not very nice for you guys to celebrate Thanksgiving.

They understand its extremely commercialized and that there are now sales all over the world copying Black Friday sales
We buy things on Black Friday but most don't know why.
Worse, I saw I sign calling it Black Fraidey.
Those pilgrims are dead now, so I guess they got what was coming to them?
History is fucked up, traditions are important. I'm not religious but still celebrate Christmas. I do not like sweet potatoes but is still eat the sweet potatoes
It's a popular narrative these days that the original Thanksgiving story was treacherous or terrible to native Americans...
but the real story isn't filled with bad guys or good guys...it's just people.
regular people trying to make their way in life and doing their best to create the best life they could with navigating the circumstances they were facing at any given time.
and the importance of sharing gratitude with others as a tradition is a worthy takeaway.
