I went to work the day after Thanksgiving and it was so sad.

I was the only one who spent Thanksgiving with their family,

Anyone who had a positive opinion of Thanksgiving, "couldn't" or "wouldn't" spend it with family because of Covid,

And those who possibly could, when I asked how their Thanksgiving went, gave very hostile answers of it being a day to "celebrate genocide and massacre"

When I tried to argue that no matter what happened in the past, it can be a nice holiday if you take it as a day to spend time with your family, and be happy and thankful together, then it beats out whatever negativity there is.

"Nope, its glorifying massacre."

Oh well, I hope you all got to spend Thanksgiving with your family, and enjoyed your time!

They'd be fairly hard-pressed to find any country which was founded without some sort of conflict/massacre to whom the winner built the country. I think they're only critical of any white and/or American discretions in history.

Not to mention the Natives were very fond of massacres and conflicts. Even slavery and genocide. But their melanin content staves off any lingering scrutiny.
