VDARE.com Wishes Readers A Happy (Politically Incorrect) Thanksgiving!

Ann Coulter’s column This Thanksgiving, Joy-Ann Reid Has Much To Be Thankful For isn’t really about Thanksgiving, it’s about ingratitude. Ms. Reid is the daughter of African and Guyanese immigrants, born and raised in the United States, but ungrateful to it, and is always going on about the American slaves from whom she is not descended.

VDARE.com covered this in an earlier article by me: The Thanksgiving Of A Grateful Nation—And The Ingratitude Of A Few.

Those ungrateful people were mostly Indians, not happy about living in a white society—rather than, I suppose, the brutal savagery that prevailed before 1492.

Speaking of 1492, the Women’s March, which contains, as far as I know, very few American Indian women (it’s a Coalition Of The Fringes of Leftist blacks, Palestinians, and Jews, arguing with each other, with regular American women, if any, disinclined to argue for themselves as usual), felt obliged to issue this Tweet:

Yes, 1492, the year Columbus—and white people generally—first landed in the Americas, is now somehow a Hate Symbol, according to Leftists who seem as superstitious in a way as the natives were before Columbus (Who DID NOTHING WRONG).

Covid restrictions, supply chain problems, and inflation will make this Thanksgiving somewhat tricky for even normal American families this year.

As usual, the Woke are trying to destroy family life at Thanksgiving by such suggestions as a Thanksgiving Covid Bouncer, a family member ready to block relatives who can’t show recent tests: The Thanksgiving bouncers, by Margaret Talev, Tina Reed, Axios, November 23, 2021

No one really wants this job, but millions of households may need their own: a Thanksgiving bouncer.

The cover charge? A negative COVID test, done ahead of arrival or outside the front door.https://t.co/fefbrI4U5T

Molly Jong-Fast in the Atlantic wants to take the usual Woke Thanksgiving argument up another notch, with plans to “deprogram” relatives, and if they won’t be deprogrammed, turn them in to the FBI: Deprogram your relatives this Thanksgiving, By Molly Jong-Fast, Atlantic, November 24, 2021.

This Thanksgiving, it’s time to deprogram your relatives @MollyJongFast writes in Wait, What. “Maybe you’ll even change a heart or a mind … Or maybe you’ll need to report a relative to the FBI! Either way, it’s something to do besides just eat.” https://t.co/8Tzoo7YEJe

She’s serious. This, of course, is furthering the Sovietization of America. Jong-Fast is the granddaughter of notorious American Communist Howard Fast.

However, one thing to remember about these famous Thanksgiving battles between Woke youth and normal American elders is that they’re only happening in white households.

In black and Hispanic household, young and old agree on left-wing politics. I covered this in 2015 in The Cold Civil War On Thanksgiving—Thanksgiving Table Arguments About "Racism" Are Only Happening In White Families.

If you have a nephew or niece who wants to do creepy “land acknowledgements” at the family dinner table, you should probably shush them or send them their room. But if you like, you can crush them with the following arguments:

The land wasn’t “rightfully” owned by the Indians, ownership of land being a civilized invention; they were only wandering around on the top of it.
There were no “Indians” before the discovery of America by Europeans—there were indigenous tribes who hated each other, and warred constantly in Hobbesian fashion.
There was also no America, as we know it today—the land was there, but the country is a creation of the Historic American Nation.
The Wampanoag Indians who allied with the Pilgrims against the Iroquois—happy to have allies with firearms—had 50 years of peace. But Indians in general were, as Thomas Jefferson was to write 155 years later, when the British were encouraging the Indians to make war on the American patriots, “merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.”
The Indians (not the Wampanoag) tried to destroy America at its birth, and tried, by massacring women and children, to prevent the settlement of the American West.
The fact that they failed, and America exists—still!—is what we Give Thanks for.
