I am thankful for the following:
A wife who loves me unconditionally.
A family that raised me to understand the importance of hard work and giving back.
My physical and mental health.
The Internet which allows me to share my thoughts and experiences with people I have never met.
And finally, for the people who show up to this blog on a regular basis who help to teach me about the human experience.
What are you thankful for?
I'm grateful for being raised by a sinlge dad who would have waliked through fire for me.
ReplyDeleteI am thankful for the gift of life, that I may share that gift with others. Pray that the promise of freedom may be extended to all.
ReplyDeletei'm thankful ever day, and don't need to express it out to the world because this day is bull shyt..
ReplyDeletethis what YAHWEH have to say
amos 5- 21-24 I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.
22Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts.
23Take thou away from me the noise
of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.
thanking God but he never gave you thanksgiving
24But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.
I am thankful I had the parents I had. My dear mother passed away when I was 12. My dad didn't put me off on his female relatives like a lot of people thought he would, instead he finished raising me himself. He gave me, his son, his best until he passed on. My parents understood that when you have kids it stops being about you and becomes all about the children. I miss them both dearly.
ReplyDeleteIf only more parents today thought like my parents did.
I am grateful to a Father God who bestows the blessings of mind, body and spirit that I may love and empower my loved ones, church and office family in a way that allows each of us to bring the glory to HIM. Wishing Mr. Field, posters and your loved ones a happy and blessed Thanksgiving Day :~)
ReplyDeleteAMEN and Amen!
ReplyDeleteI am thankful for the gift of life.
That I was born into this beautiful world. and not like, on another planet or something :)
For my three children,who have been the reason for my existence and my joy throughout the years.
I am extremely grateful for the brilliant and wonderful doctor,endocrinologist Dr.Kim, who enabled me to have them,because I had a little problem which he,God Bless him,found and corrected. I will be eternally grateful. God Bless him always.
When I conceived my first child, he did the test himself, then he came back, he looked at me, smiled from ear to ear, and said "I think I made you pregnant" and we laughed and hugged. God Bless him!
For all of the wonderful family and friends.
For flowers,especially orchids.
and for EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING!
Especially for the turkey that's in the oven and I can't wait to make sandwiches tomorrow cos that's how I like it :D
and for the cranberry jelly that's from a deli and not from a can!
and for the macaroni salad and the tomatoe which I sun ripened on the porch and...that's it.We don't eat much...
Amen Lord and A Blessed AND Happy Thanksgiving to EVERYONE!!!
This is a bullshit day. This day was the beginning of trouble in America, annihilation of Native Indians and enslavement of Blacks for centuries. We still have to put up with deadly racists wherever we go today: on the streets, in the country, at work and the po-po.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure there isn't much of a Thanksgiving with the family of Trayvon Martin. What the hell do they have to be thankful for?
I am from a fractured family where feelings of love were rarely expressed. so, I don't know about Thanksgiving. It's just another damn day to me. There is nothing special about it. I'll have a Whopper and call it a day. Life hasn't been that great to me as a bm. I really don't see how Blacks and those folks out in PR can join in with Whites to celebrate this day. It's pure bullshit. Desert, you're full of shit.
ReplyDeleteThere are millions of poor and homeless people in America who are without food, turkey or home. It is estimated that 25% of them are in PR.

Well I'm part of those 25% I guess, cos I'm poor and I rent.
But, nevertheless I am thankful to be here. FYI there are many persons that risk their lives on the ocean and end up drowning and as shark food, while trying to reach these shores and in order to get to the U.S. Happens almost every month here.
So, say what you will,you're just a naysayer!....I'm a yaysayer :D

Shark food? Wow, there must be hundreds, even thousands of them eaten by sharks. Those sharks must be so overweight they are attending Overeaters Anonymous for Sharks. I swear, you can make up more shit than a horse and cow combined can shit. You make up stuff in the "extreme" to avoid the truth about America.
So you are poor, renting? Well, there are homeless people, poor and NO SHELTER....MILLIONS OF THEM.

Yeah, that's something to be thankful for...It's also a blessing.
But the rest of this turkey bullshit celebration is no different than the 4th July celebration...it doesn't pertain to Blacks.
Did you know that Obama pardoned 11 prisoners? I bet everyone of them were White. I mean, he even pardoned a white turkey. Now that is going to far about this 'color' business.
Did you notice that Field, PilotX, PC, Granny and Desert didn't say a damn thing about that? Do you know why? Because they are kool-aide drinking drunk Obamaholics...that's why!

Are you saying there was a black turkey in the white turkey family somewhere?
Do you think the same logic holds true for humans? Probably not. Those Southern Whites kept their bloodlines white as the pure driven snow....no Negroes hidden in their families.Ha!
Most of all I'm thankful to the Most High God who is my fountain of living waters, bread of life, and who loves me unconditionally.

I'm thankful for being able to get up in the morning and still remain active.
I'm thankful for the cyber experience and being able to reach out to millions of Americans and people all over the world.
I'm thankful to have the experience of being a mother, sister, aunt, grandmother, great-grandmother, great-aunt, and great-great aunt, a cousin, sister-in-law. I'm thankful for having a multi-racial family that has taught me a lot about human beings.
I'm thankful for my friends and enemies.
I'm thankful for all the unloved and unwanted children that I was able to encourage and show love.
I'm thankful for the savings in cost of stamps when it is time to send out announcements for our family reunions.
Today, I'm thankful to be able to enjoy this day with my family and friends and share it with someone who is less fortunate.
I'm the chef de kitch here, It's 1214 and the turkey has an hour and a half left, the dough for the rolls is on first rise, the yams are done, the beens & greens are simmering with bacon & onion, and the pies were finished last night. The potatoes go on when the bird comes out & the rolls go in. I make my roux from turkeyfat, my bird is brined & buttered, and I add water 1/1 for my gravy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After giving this some thought I now can totally understand why you feel so bad and guilty about Thanksgiving!
After all it was your people,the Anglos, that committed that Native American genocide you speak of.
Neither the Blacks nor the Hispanics had anything to do with it.
So you shouldn't celebrate! I apologize, you are correct about that. Shame on you!
We celebrate that the Good Native Americans were kind and good enough to teach those Anglo pilgrims, which by the way were prisoners and criminals that Great Britain sent here to get rid of, :D Crazy right?
Your ancestors were criminals that the Britain wanted to get rid of omg LOL! No wonder! :D
And the good Natives taught them how to grow and harvest so they wouldn't starve. and look how your ancestors repaid them! SHAME BILL SHAME!
We the Browns and Blacks are so good, and you're so bad!
COME TO THINK OF IT. YOU ARE RIGHT! YOU SHOULDN'T CELEBRATE, ANYTHING,EVER! You bad, bad, people. and now you come here spoiling our celebration for those Indians too!
You're mean and nasty and grinchy!!!
There! Is that what you wanted to hear? Now go to a corner and sulk!!!
Evil ones X(
"kerry washington is still a negro bed wench."
ReplyDelete_____________
first, it is important to connect to the Truth that being a mandingo anything is NOT a compliment.
then knock yourself out listing all the bm actors/entertainers that reinforce the lusting after pale skin, mindless beast, hypersexual mandingo stereotype.
if you want to get next level- add the non-stop dress runs, in between portraying on screen + real life the stereotype that quite a few bm LOVE LOVE LOVE them some white + other women.
go ahead.
if not...please chill on the bed wench comments. unless you want to discuss the shameful oow birthrates + how many bm act like they, too, think bw bed wenches + ways to knock it off. i have been suggesting folks turn to Him. that would be productive.
it is time to do our parts to clean up the mess. not diss each other or participate in non stop wound Blessed Black psyche psych op. (sp?,lol!)
it's time for bm to stop messing their women over in ALL ways. the way wm ride hard for ww is something that more bm need to take note of. stat. since wfolk have the game so flipped out that most won't stop pursuing wfolks seeking acceptance. at least copy the stuff that makes sense while all integrated to be damned.
a man's nature is supposed to be protective.
think women during holocaust were sexually abused? armenian genocide? etc etc. folks don't go there regularly + routinely...out of respect for the human dignity of their womenfolk. other women get to have a place where they have suffered enough. seems it is always bw's turns. no matter where in the world. others don't give bw that much needed break...nor do a great deal of bm. fix that as an indicator of much needed self respect.

you are quite good at double talking. you have it perfected;)

to call things what they are is not evidence of guilt nor to induce guilt. all you said to Bill was truth. the way you did it was syrupy sweet ugly. FN thinks you are 'crazy'...i do, too;)
your point of 'celebrating' the massacre of indigenous people holiday + flipping it to a celebration of the assistance they showed those who massacred them...ok. similar to giving thanks they were not all massacred like the author of the link i posted. i can see that.
i just see it differently and that's ok. i want nothing to do with any of it...at this point. a good whiff of wicked and i got to put space between us. each day is a day to give thanks.
Black folks have a bad habit of putting sugar in poop and calling it dessert;( if it started out a massacre...at the end, that's what it is as well.

Thanksgiving is a day off for folks to get together with their friends and family. many people look forward to it especially once the summer is over. history between Indians and Americans is a troublesome conversation. sure there were moments of mutual cooperation, those moments are far outshone by the desire to suppress or assimilate the various native lifestyles in order that America may be successful.
ReplyDeleteTalking about thanksgiving day massacres would be impossible at my family get-togethers. Try to talk about it any other day of the year and there would be stiff resistance. Generally they think the same thing the Europeans did from the get go, 'these savages better get out of the way or do our bidding, we're here to stay.'
Emancipation was a big part of the conversation during the American revolution. I don't know if it really had a chance, but there were a number of people trying to push emancipation before the Constitution was ratified.
I always felt people, especially black people, of that time wanted to participate in the society and in the institutions that were being formed and protected. they did want to end slavery. They were also completely tied into the economy whether they were free or slave.
Reading Gary Nash's 'Race and Revolution' :
"Samuel Cooke, in preaching the election sermon of 1770 'devoted most of his text to "the cause of our African slaves."' In 1773, the issue of abolition was of sufficient general interest to be the subject of the Harvard commencement debate.
'... Benjamin Rush informed Glenville Sharp, the English abolitionist, that 'the spirit of Liberty ad religion with regard to the poor negroes spreads rapidly throughout this country.' In May of the next year he wrote again that the 'cause of African freedom in America' was still gaining ground; and in November 1774, ... Rush had an opportunity to become acquainted with many of the delegates, he described how the abolitionist spirit'prevails in our councils and among all ranks in all provinces."
David Cooper, "A Serious Address to the Rulers of America, On the Inconsistency of their conduct respecting Slavery" 1783
"It was a claim of freedom unfettered from the arbitrary control of others, so essential to free agents, and equally the gift of our beneficent Creator to all his rational children, which out fleets and armies into motion, covered earth and seas with rapine and carnage, disturbed the repose of Europe, and exhausted the treasure of nations. Now is the time to demonstrate to Europe, to the whole world, that America was in earnest, and meant what she said, when with peculiar energy and unanswerable reasoning, she plead the cause of human nature, and with undaunted firmness insisted, that ALL MANKIND came from the hand of their Creator EQUALLY FREE. Let not the world have an opportunity to charge her conduct with a contradiction to her solemn and often repeated declarations...."
People wanted freedom no matter where they were. Food, security, health and happiness. Chief Powhatan, who assisted the first English colonists at James Fort was noted for his diplomacy.. I don't know if he should have run off the James Fort settlers or what. They didn't seem to be able to respect the Powhatan very much.
He told them he wanted to sit with his wives and have corn and food. To not go to war, war would mean living in the forest and eating roots and berries. He told them he wanted to plant his corn and share what he could. He kept his very eager warriors at bay for a few years until his death.
His son Opecancanough succeeded him and took the Powhatan Confederacy to war with the settlers to their demise.
It is all very tragic and the result has been a historical trend to paint all of this taking and enslaving as necessary and good when in fact it was neither.
