No, Thanksgiving is not about celebrating the genocide of Native Americans... [I Love Thanksgiving]

I always see this get thrown around this time of the year and it's ridiculous. Thanksgiving was originally conceived as a holiday of [b]religious observance[/b] and then later became a civil tradition. Look it up! Yes, the idea that the "First Thanksgiving" had colonists and natives celebrating a harmonious feast together is a myth, but the point of it was never to celebrate genocide or stealing land or anything related to the suffering of Native Americans. I'm Native American myself and I roll my eyes whenever I see people saying that nonsense. Shut up and eat your damn turkey!

It is true that they would not have joined together for a religious celebration.
