So…Today is Thanksgiving. But what does it really mean to those that it gives great meaning to? The definition of Thanksgiving is a far different description depending on who is telling the story: The whites or the Indians.

To the whites, Thanksgiving was a day that the Pilgrims sat with the indians and agreed to be peaceful. A day of celebration.

To the Wampanoags, Thanksgiving was literally about gratitude for genocide. A day of sorrow.

While we celebrate, sitting around watching football, eating turkey, corn, and all the fixins, toasting and giving thanks, Native Americans remember the massacre. They are not celebrating; they are feeling hurt and disrespected to say the very least, and rightly so.

As Darryl Lorenzo Wellington wrote:

“Spare me the school-assembly version of Thanksgiving. Since I was in grammar school, I’ve seen these misleading re-enactments. The Thanksgiving plays and celebrations glamorize the relationship between the Pilgrims and American Indians. They falsely portray the Pilgrims as the ones who allowed the indians to sup with them, rather than vice versa.”

“And they erase the genocide against Indians that followed.”

-Darryl Lorenzo Wellington is a writer for Progressive Media Project

Yes, there is a lot to be thankful for, but Thanksgiving is not the day to be thankful when the definition of the traditional Thanksgiving is more fiction than fact; when we ignorantly celebrate peace honoring a day of devastation.

I can tell you what I am not thankful for on this day:

• I am not thankful that people feast on turkey and stuffing in celebration, and many probably don’t really know the devastating truth about Thanksgiving, the massacre of indigenous people. And if they do, it is even more disgusting that they are still celebrating.

• I am not thankful that a supposed day of giving thanks is really gratitude for genocide.

• I am not thankful that Pilgrims didn’t invite the Indians to feast with them peacefully, but instead Pilgrims perceived Indians in relation to the Devil and the only reason why they were invited to that feast was for the purpose of negotiating a treaty that would secure the lands for the Pilgrims.

• I am not thankful that 700 Pequot men, women and children were massacred on this day known for giving thanks.

• I am not thankful that the Governor of Massachusetts Bay Colony declared: “A day of Thanksgiving, thanking God that they had eliminated over 700 men, women and children.” It was signed into law that, “This day forth shall be a day of celebration and thanksgiving for subduing the Pequots.”

• I am not thankful that “Thanksgiving dinner” was invented both to instill a false pride in Americans and to cover up the massacre.

• I am not thankful that when the Pilgrims arrived, the Pequot tribe numbered 8,000 but disease had brought their numbers down to 1,500 by 1637. The Pequot “War” killed all but a handful of remaining members of the tribe. FYI: The disease was smallpox, brought to the indians through infected blankets, and flu-filled flannel gifts, that were giving to them by the Pilgrims.

• I am not thankful that the first Official Thanksgiving was gratitude for genocide in 1637, and in 1676 – 1677 “a day was set apart for public Thanksgiving,” because nearly all of the indians were exterminated by then.

• I am not thankful that America was basically founded on MASS genocide…a genocide of up to as many as 3 million plus indians.

• I am not thankful that when taking into consideration that the slaughter of indians started in 1492 with Christopher Columbus, “and has continued to a certain degree to this day, the number of our Peoples who died, and in many cases who are still dying, because of the European invasion Columbus initiated, is incalculable.” One can estimate the closest number is several hundred millions.

Readers: Celebrating Thanksgiving is no different than honoring the Confederate flag, or honoring the Germans for the putting Jews in the oven.

Even in Washington, the Native American museum doesn’t address the genocide; a sort of a “historical amnesia”. We have no problem pointing the fingers at others who have done such atrocities, but when it comes to ourselves, when we can’t even examine, not to mention document,  who we are and what we have done in our own country, it is truly sickening.

Noam Chomsky’s response to the Native American genocide:

” It is not that the people involved didn’t know about it. John Quincy Adams, a great grand strategist, who had a major role in these atrocities, in his later years when he reflected on them, referred to that hapless race of North Americans, which we are exterminating with such insidious cruelty. They knew exactly what they were doing. But it doesn’t matter. It’s us.”

“It’s us.” Us = whites. That kind of says it all doesn’t it?

…with gratitude & xoxo…

Good morning!

For those of you interested here’s an update on DADT:

Don’t Ask Don’t Tell’s Final Act: Stage Is Set For Hearing

WASHINGTON — The stage has been formally set for the final, theatrical hearing over whether or not Congress will repeal the military’s Don’t Ask Don’t Tell policy this year or even next year.

On Wednesday, Senator Carl Levin (D-Mich), chair of the Senate Armed Services Committee, announced that he will hold two days of hearings on the policy that restricts gays from serving openly in the armed forces. The hearings will come just days after a year-long report, commissioned by the Pentagon, will be released reportedly showing that DADT repeal would have a minimal impact on the temperament or readiness of fellow soldiers.

On Thursday, December 2, supporters of DADT repeal will be granted the first shot to make their case. Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates; Admiral Michael G. Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; Jeh C. Johnson, the Department of Defense’s General Counsel and co-chair of the Pentagon’s DADT Comprehensive Review Working Group; and General Carter F. Ham, commander of the United States Army in Europe and the second co-chair of the Comprehensive Review Working Group will all deliver testimony.

They will be followed on Friday by a day of testimony from those generally skeptical of appeal, including General James E. Cartwright, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; General George W. Casey, Jr., chief of staff of the Army; Admiral Gary Roughead, chief of Naval Operations; General James F. Amos, commandant of the Marine Corps; and General Norton A. Schwartz, chief of staff of the Air Force.

All told, it should be a dramatic two days of hearings and questioning, with particular attention being paid to those members of the Senate Armed Services Committee whose position on the policy is either vague (Sen. Susan Collins chief among them) or who’ve twisted themselves into pretzels attempting to hold up repeal (Sen. John McCain).

The betting money is that people will remain entrenched or even emboldened in their positions even after the hearings conclude. But what comes out of the Pentagon study and the subsequent testimony could give Democratic leadership the type of breathing room they need to keep DADT repeal inside the Defense Authorization Bill and, in turn, structure the debate so that Republicans no longer feel they can vote against it on procedural grounds.

Readers: I also want to give you an update on Maj. Margaret Witt, who is a decorated reservist flight nurse, that had been suspended from the Air Force in 2004, after 17 years of service. She was eventually discharged in October 2007 after the Air Force learned she had been in a long-term relationship with a civilian woman. Now thanks to the Obama administration, they have appealed a court decision ordering it to reinstate Maj. Witt who was  discharged under Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.

Just another reason why I’m happy Obama is president. We women, gay or straight, need to have a president such as Obama on our side.

Comments? Give it up –  blog me.

Hey Zen Lill: Ha! Noted but did you notice all of the comments in regards to that? :) Okay, so I didn’t mean to negate you being the change you want to see. I’ve seen the change. All I’m saying is, don’t limit yourself. You can be the the change you want to see and give someone a piece of your mind too.  Ya know what I mean? So…next time I’ll use the word “and” instead of “but” to be clear. That being said, what I really want to say is, I just like my blog to benefit from the fire in your heart that I know you have. :)

Joyce: Laughed at your comment to censor stupidity. Would love to but stupidity is welcome here too. :)

Brittany: Doug is not perfect but neither am I. :) In regards to your man, nicely said. I am happy you are having happy sex.

Hi Ruth: Funny. I always say the same thing about my dog and protecting her. She needs to fear my voice commanding her to stay so that she doesn’t get tempted to run out into the street and get killed. I’m sure you get my drift on this one. :) How are you otherwise?

Jodi: Deciding to turn a blind eye eh? Ignorance is blissful. Perhaps for you it is better that way.

Barry: You can thank Wizz for that one. Wish I could’ve been there.

Peace out peeps….I’m out of here.

Good morning. Well…let me think…is it really? Not for women. A republican-led filibuster killed the Paycheck Fairness Act, a bill that would have lifted the cap on damages in pay- discrimination lawsuits and restricted how employers can fight such complaints. Women lose again. I guess women will still earn less simply because we are women.

Pay-Discrimination Bill Opposed by Business Fails in Senate Vote

A bill that would have made it easier for workers to sue their employers for pay discrimination was defeated in the U.S. Senate after business groups said the measure backed by the Obama administration was a jobs killer.

Senate Democrats didn’t muster enough votes today to overcome a Republican-led filibuster of the Paycheck Fairness Act, a bill that would have lifted the cap on damages in pay- discrimination lawsuits and restricted how employers can fight such complaints. The legislation would also have banned employers from penalizing workers who share salary information to find pay discrepancies.

Democrats pushed the measure, which would have strengthened remedies under the Equal Pay Act of 1963 for women, early in the Obama administration as part of a pro-labor agenda. It passed the House of Representatives in January 2009, along with the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act.

The Lilly Ledbetter bill became the first law that Barack Obama signed as president. The measure, primarily intended to benefit women, lets workers pursue claims of being underpaid because of discrimination that occurred years earlier. A U.S. Supreme Court ruling in 2007 had disallowed such lawsuits.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the National Association of Manufacturers and other business groups lobbied Republican senators to block the companion piece of legislation.

The Democrats, needing 60 votes to end the filibuster, got 58. One Democrat, Senator Ben Nelson of Nebraska, joined Republicans in voting against the legislation. Three Republican women who voted for the Lilly Ledbetter bill — Senators Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe, both of Maine, and Kay Bailey Hutchison of Texas — this time voted with their party.

‘Tough Vote’

“This was a tough vote for many due to the sound-bite appeal of the bill’s title, but in the end they did the right thing and voted for jobs,” Keith Smith, director of employment and labor policy at the manufacturers’ association, said in an e-mailed statement. “It is difficult to imagine a scenario in which this bill would not have led to lower wages and fewer jobs.”

The Business Roundtable and employer groups have cited the Obama administration’s support for the legislation as evidence of anti-business policies. The Chamber of Commerce and the National Association of Manufacturers this week sent letters to senators notifying them that the business groups would monitor their votes on the measure.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada said Republicans who blocked the bill would rather “give tax breaks to CEOs who ship jobs overseas” than ensure that women are paid the same as men for doing equal work. Senator Barbara Mikulski, a Maryland Democrat, said the bill was “critical to our economic recovery.”

“We need to make sure the family budget is based on people getting paid for the work they do,” she said.

The Paycheck Fairness Act is S. 3772.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Readers: What stupid women would vote to oppose women receiving equal pay? Uh..let me see… Republican Senators Susan Collins, Olympia Snowe, Kay Bailey Hutchison. We only needed two more votes to end the filibuster. Basically these women screwed us over because they voted with their party. Remember these women – they are not girls girls.

I HOPE the day gets better…peace out.

And my title is being way too kind.

I may focus my writes on women doing wonderful things, but every now and then you find a woman that isn’t so wonderful. In fact a woman that is hateful, and one that needs to be exposed. This one definitely deserves some blog time too. Oh how I am so grateful for the internet. Exposure…exposure…exposure…

Erica Winchester, Massachusetts Woman, Spews Racial Slurs At Mailman (VIDEO)

Wait a minute Mr. Postman, why is that woman yelling racial epithets at you?

That might have been what one postal worker was thinking when this video was shot last year in Hingham, Massachusetts.

The footage documents an incident in which a woman approaches a mailman’s vehicle and assaults him repeatedly with racial slurs, insults and apparently a physical blow of some sort, all because he said he could not accept a certified letter that she had signed for, but no longer wanted.

Though the woman follows up her “f**king ni**er thief” attack with a claim that she’s “not prejudiced,” her rhetoric and tone in the videos speak for themselves.

In the days after the video went viral on forums such as 4Chan and Reddit, the sleuthing power of the collective interwebs has turned up the culprit’s supposed identity: one Erica Winchester. The 60-year-old woman “once threatened a cop that she would ‘chop off’ his genitals after he arrested her for trespassing at a community theater rehearsal where she warned cast members they would ‘get it with a machine gun,’” according to the Smoking Gun.

Ironically enough, Winchester owns a company that helps customers improve their public speaking by teaching things such as “accent reduction.”

The postal worker was apparently fired following the incident, although the reason for his firing is unclear.

The videos are tough to watch,  and not just logistically.

Readers: Did you notice that last sentence stating that the postal worker was fired? The black postal worker was fired, because the white woman called him a nigger, slapped him, and threatened to get white people to kill him! This story is so disgusting.

Take notice that if you did that to a white boy, you would get jail time from threatening a federal official. But no, she got him fired. The end result? White people did get him. Just another example of how white people have a major advantage over 0tws always, even when what they’re doing is totally wrong and hateful.

This woman is unbelievable. I have so much more to say about this but I am so sick right now that I am shaking. I know many of you will have something to say here, and I look forward to your comments. Blog me.

Anna of Guam: Thanks for posting your article on abortion. I totally agree. How I wish there were a way to control men, so they could feel what it is like to have something demanded without their consent.  Like only allowing them to have an erection when we feel like it. Oh yeah..but leave them horny as hell, but unable to retain a hard on. In fact make it go up and down at our leisure…Oh I could keep going with this one. Ha! Then they can feel how it is for someone else to control their body. One day of women in control of their sex lives and believe me they wouldn’t ever think again of telling us what we could, or could not do with our bodies.

Cutter: My response to your comment: Zen Lill talked about choice but I’ll throw in my two. It’s called freedom of choice and women should have the right to abort if they choose to. And yes, it does matter who knocked them up. Women are getting pregnant from being raped too. So I say make the charge stronger…make it criminal for a man to rape a woman by cutting off his dick. Jail time isn’t enough. Problem solved. Next.

Good morning!

First, I want to step back a few days and respond to some of you.

Girlz: Liang, nice to hear from you. It has been quite a while since you have commented here. How about telling me and my readers what you have been up to.

Zen Lill: Hey…Looking forward to it.

Howard: I didn’t notice that was a pattern here. It seems that quite a few were able to comment this time. I don’t think the subject matter matters as much as how many readers are trying to get in and comment on a particular topic at the same time, and how much my blog is being watched and trying to be blocked at that same time.

Robert: If this is our regular reader Robert, I was hoping you could tell us. You always have some enlightening answers and comments, but rarely ask questions. :)

Jessica: Thanks for enlightening me on the subject. It still amazes me that log cabin Republicans even exist. Who would side with the Republicans knowing that the Republicans are anti-gay? It is so illogical for gays to side with a party that opposes who you are and doesn’t support legislation that is important to gays, including equal rights.

And now after you present to your brother everything that Obama has done for gays, (thank you, I was not aware.) he still opposes him because he is black. How stupid is that? It just shows you how deep racism is amongst whites, even gay whites, that they will let their own racists beliefs prevent them from attaining equal status, and living their lives as fully as they can. A perfect example of cutting off your nose to spite your face. I feel the same in regards to Democrats who decided not to show up at the polls.  How stupid to default to a party that screwed up this country in the first place.

Not to mention the stupidity of the same same stupid Republicans who voted in the same same Republicans this past election, like the previous 8 years, before Obama wasn’t bad enough.

I see racism as a sign of weakness. Only someone weak would think they are better because of the color of their skin. Only someone weak would allow insane racist beliefs to rule their thoughts, knowing that their chosen thoughts are the demise of our country; our world. A strong person would see the ridiculousness of it all, and not chose these insane thoughts over logic.

But doesn’t disease act the same way? Living and feeding off the host, until that which supports it dies and the disease itself dies, because it no longer can prey on that which kept it alive. A disease, like racists, are only about self-aggrandizement…are only about living in the moment…what is best for me and mine, with little care about others and the future.

When, and not if, the Republicans mess up our country again, and they will. Will those that once again voted them in, or decided to “not bother”, finally learn, or will they continue to cut off their noses time and time again?

Uma: Consider yourself considered. :)

Iris: They are the same same as they have always been: Racists. Racism is nothing new. But it seems to me, as your father has admitted, when otws take their rightful place, beneath whites, whites are okay with otws. But if they become equal to, and God forbid, succeed whites, well them oh  no, that is not acceptable. They have forgotten their place. That is the reason why whites are screaming, “I want my country back!”. Your father had no reason to “complain” when he was living his cushy life, and otws were in their place. But now it is a different story. I am sure many families such as yours are being enlightened to the true feelings that are emerging because our president is a black man.

Bob: Thanks for that – Haha! Loved it.

Well I thought I was going to have a topic to write about today, but no. And I have more to say, but it is late so I’m going to end it here. The forum is open…Blog me.

It’s a beautiful day, enjoy it! xoxo
