Yea its turkey day today but its like any 'ol day for me since i live in Europe and that shit dont exist here. Im pretty much thankful everyday anyways, haha. Today is one of those days though where things can get complicated.
Yes, we get a day off at school and work
we get to eat and be thankful
watch re-runs on TV
like the beyonce thankgiving special ;) lol
or some thanksgiving cartoons
and things of this sort (*note, this only applies if your in america, of course).
I say things can get complicated because damn... genocide is some shit.
The "Indians" or better known as the indigenous people of america got jacked, raped and killed.
Of course, they dont teach us that in school because they're, as in the institutionalised education system in america, teaching us how to be on some 'ol patriotic shit. The real truth is never taught, just that happily ever after ish.
Damn pilgrims with there rifles, bibles, and disease
came to "discover" some land that was full of life and natives.
& so like i said, it gets complicated.
There is a buncha US political skeletons in the closet and today is one of those complicated holidays when you may want to stomp on some sukka ass pilgrim...
wow, im cursing like a pirate now... so angry and.... stuff....
and im also digressing...
ok, back to the point in 5...4...3...2....*
Ok, so what im saying is that it gets complicated because it does feel good to celebrate and eat. It feels good to spend family time and eat some greens, cranberry, macaroni, turkey, smashed potatoes, pumpkin pie and drink some martinellis...mmm mmm goodnesss...
But then its like we are celebrating some real grimmy american shit...
nonetheless, today will always remain a complicated holiday for me...
But it is a great excuse to hang out with loved ones and over eat.
so just for the sake of a happy ending....
I say, hooray for good food, friends and family!
The history is in the past but that shit needs to be known.
dont be ignorant and be thankful not just today...
wow , what am i? a preacher now..lol
