Another Thanksgiving has come and gone. You are now able to get out of your food-induced stupor by making sure your pants fit properly.
Black Lives Matter posted a wonderful Thanksgiving message to ease your mind while you were sat down with your loved ones to express gratitude. The intrepid “social justice” organization took to social media to let us all know what’s truly important to remember this holiday season.

Imagine being so constantly aggrieved and unable to take a break that you can’t let people enjoy a national holiday where people simply gather with friends and family to give thanks. It’s got to be exhausting to live that way. I mean, it’s one thing to speak to politics on a holiday. Yesterday, people did this all across the country as they talked about various issues. But it’s anoTher to try to trash thePolitical holiday.
Besides, BLM’s message is incredibly dumb. There’s literally not a country on earth, from the Americas to Africa, that wasn’t formed on the basis of conquest. This is not something that makes the United States unique in this regard. Further, even those who the US government conquered were themselves residing on “stolen land,” having conquered it previously. The history of native tribes fighting for control over land has been documented for many thousands of years.
That’s not to say US government actions weren’t barbaric at times, but everything has to be placed in context. If this is what we’re going to do, how can the United States be considered colonization?
What does the stolen land red herring have in common with Black Lives Matter, by the way? I ask that because I’ve been assured that BLM is a narrowly-focused organization that only speaks to state-sponsored violence against black people. That’s the excuse we hear when it’s pointed out they do little to nothing to invest in and fight the problem of black-on-black crime (typically gang-related) in major cities.
Yet, they’ve got time to take up the cause over “native land?” Weird, right? It’s almost like BLM is just a hypocritical, dumpster fire organization that only focuses on what they feel will push their Marxist goals forward. And what better way to do that than to push a revolutionary mindset over “stolen land?”
And that’s really the point here. As I said, the charge against the United States that we “stole” the country’s land is incredibly irrelevant in light of human history. BLM, and other groups see this as an opportunity to inflame division and promote societal change. They don’t actually care about people who were mistreated 200 years ago. Politics is all they are interested in. That’s how you get their ridiculous insulting Thanksgiving message.
