Thankstaking 2012!

So the time has come again, that annual day that commemorates the lie that White people had some sort of amicable and respectful relationship with the Native people's of the Western Hemisphere.  The myth contends that this wonderful relationship was symbolized by a fantasy dinner shared between the European Pilgrims and the Native Pequot peoples called the first "Thanksgiving" dinner.  The only truth to this complete fabrication is that the Pilgrims and Pequots were involved.  The true history is the Pequot provided endless food crops to the Pilgrims during that first harsh winter of 1621.  This version of history, which is backed up by written historical accounts from Pilgrims and Pequots, confirms that the Pilgrims constituted the Western Hemisphere's first documented welfare recepients. 

By 1630 the Pequots were virtually wiped out as a result of the war waged against them by their ungrateful visitors.  Consequently, the White folks took over this territory in the Virginia area and this illustrates one of the first examples of how wealth was created, or stolen, and why those that have it now have it and those who don't, don't.  You can trace the history of the so-called Fourth of July (we call it Fourth of the Lie).  In that instance, a so-called free country is celebrated while completely ignoring that the initial wealth was built on the backs of African slaves.  In fact, the banking and insurance industries, and basically the seed money to finance industrialization, or the development of capitalism, was generated by the tri-angular slave trade. 

Of course, the point of telling this history is to highlight that the superrich who own all the wealth didn't get it through hard work and diligence.  They got there through theft and murder.  Likewise, the people who are poor today aren't that way because they are lazy and want handouts.  They are the people who work the lowest paying jobs, if they have one at all.  The hardest jobs.  That's why wherever there are people of color you see them cleaning the rooms, carrying the bags, working in fastfood places, and generally monopolizing the minimum wage no benefit jobs.  That's why it's thankstaking.  Everything in this nation is a lie except the fact working poor and people of color are the backbone of this society.  Everyone else, I hope

    I don't see disagreement as a negative because I understand that Frederick Douglass was correct when he said "there is no progress without struggle."  Our brains are muscles.  Just like any other muscle in our body if we don't stress it and push it, the brain will not improve.  Or, as a bumper sticker I saw once put it, "If you can't change your mind, how do you know it's there?"
