I think you have been indoctrinated by MSM yourself, Elmo. Emancipation of the New World by massacring the natives and bring the black folk from Africa in to pick cotton and tobacco? Ask them how that 'emancipation'worked out for them. White settlers killed the natives, gave them pest infested blankets, had peace treaties with them which they subsequently broke, chased down the last of the natives and put them in reservations. Then the settlers brought in the slaves from Africa. Even George Washington had slaves and the civil war was not about setting the slaves free but about the industrial north dominating the agricultural south. And once the slaves were set free, the Irish and the Chinese were brought in to work under appalling conditions in the factories. Oh yeah, what an enlightenment. Now Americans of all colours are being enslaved by their puppet masters on Wallstreet.
And who did the native american indians slaughter to wrest control of the lands? They certainly were not the first people here. Additionally, there has been slavery since the beginning of time. The black American slave narrative is beyond overused, intentionally to keep the bruthas in chains. Most Americans are slaves at this point, no matter color.
Irish slaves worked side-by-side the black slave, but the Irish slave was considered inferior. When a task was riskier, the Irish slave was put to work because the black slave was considered more valuable.
Right...because Indians never killed each other or enslaved each other or stole each others land before the Pilgrim's set foot here...lol.
"The Huron, or Ouendat as they called themselves, were organized into a political league or Confederacy of four separate Nations. Each Nation was divided into geographical districts made up of large fortified villages, smaller villages and hamlets. There might be forty or fifty families in a large village while only eight or ten in a small hamlet. The population was made up of extended families who had lived together for varying lengths of time. Kinship was identified by people of similar traditions and a common ancestry generally referred to as clans. Thus, a village would increase or decrease with the adoption of other families or clans. People were free to choose where they wanted to live and what pursuits they might want to follow, but hereditary positions, along with social and biological ties tended to hold families together in these extended families or clans. By AD 1100 these people had adapted to agriculture and the population increased dramatically, as did long distance trade and organized warfare."
So what? It was their continent. They never asked to 'liberated', a tendency the American still have, to 'liberate' other countries (liberate their oil, that is). So the settlers did a 'huminitairy intervention' on the natives?
"So what? It was their continent. They never asked to 'liberated', a tendency the American still have..."
Ummm, these "Americans" you hate with such a purple passion were all...EuroPeon's...lol. And apparently, they still love to show their complete ignorance about things both large and small ;-)
Where do I say I hate Americans? I don't hate Americans at all. I think in general they are decent folk. They tend to talk too much. And Europeans? I like them as well. I just hate Europe's dark colonial and slave trading past. And I hate people who are apologists for their dark pasts because it makes them complicit. And I hate people who think that their country is God's chosen country and who say "my country, right or wrong".
But then you all whine about illegal immigrants. If it is 'your continent' now for a while, you should be happy with the illegal immigrants according to your logic. Apparently it is natural succession. You should rejoice and give thanks...So go out and invite some illegal immigrants to your home so you can give thanks together!
Happy Thanksgiving to all the ZH on line community.
The true story of the NE Thanksgiving...
"What most of us never learned was that the original contract the Pilgrims brokered with their London sponsors required that everything the Pilgrims produced was to go into a common store, and every member was to be allotted one equal share. Further, all the land they cleared and all the buildings they constructed were to belong the whole community."
Well, how did that work out?
"The experience that was had in this common course and condition, tried sundry years and that amongst godly and sober men, may well evince the vanity of that conceit of Plato’s and other ancients applauded by some of later times; that the taking away of property and bringing in community into a commonwealth would make them happy and flourishing; as if they were wiser than God. For this community (so far as it was) was found to breed much confusion and discontent and retard much employment that would have been to their benefit and comfort. For the young men, that were most able and fit for labour and service, did repine that they should spend their time and strength to work for other men’s wives and children without any recompense."
And my hearfelt Happy Thanksgiving (and anti-Black Friday) to William and all the ZH crowd. I am the one waving from Zero Hedgetown USA.
With an apologetic borrow from Garrison Keillor: Zero Hedgetown USA "where all the women are strong, all the men are good looking, and all the children are above average."
To which I'd add: and the economy is not centrally planned.
very excellent. I thought turkey hunting was a popular sport in the U.S. IMHO that series was some of your best. Parade debt brother turkey..........too fucking funny

'k Jojo. You go study the history of slavery & the history of Wall Street. Follow the money. Cheers

Bullshit. We're all temporary inhabitants on this spinning rock. "It was their continent"... for a while, and now it's our continent for a while.

Here is your typical Italian Thanksgiving:

Looks good. I'd like to see what Hedgless Horseman has on his plate today as well. Worthy enough for Martha Stewart photo shoot I'm sure...
That thought crossed my mind as well lol... Happy Thanksgiving everybody!
And oddly enough, we had an Italian feast for today's holiday also just for a change... skipped the turkey, etc.

Happy Thanksgiving ZeroHedge
We do live in a world where only a few recognise desperate attempts at pandering...
There's a term for this... "optimism bias" is close, but not spot on... and that term answers the question,
"Why have a Popemobile with bulletproof glass and then ride around with the window down?"
I think its exactly the same as buying gold... in ETF form.
Happy Thanksgiving from Riverside California
Riverside County jails break record of 6,001 inmates released earlyyou'd think this image is from some 1950s comedy but no this is life on the inside so the best advice is if you can't avoid jail then avoid the middle bunk http://isun.blogs.mydesert.com/files/2012/11/jail-300x218.jpg
I thought that was the COD football team and their boosters getting out early...
What is it about Timmay's face that makes it so suitable for your satire WB? It's like it was made to make fun of.
Wow! Thanks WB7 and happy T-day FiSHeS.
