RE: Funny Thanksgiving GIF Contest // 10 Steem Giveaway

in #contest6 years ago

You have taken the land which is rightfully ours. Years from now my people will be forced to live in mobile homes on reservations. Your people will wear cardigans, and drink highballs. We will sell our bracelets by the road sides, you will play golf, and enjoy hot hors d'oeuvres. My people will have pain and degradation. Your people will have stick shifts. The gods of my tribe have spoken. They have said, "Do not trust the Pilgrims..."


And for all these reasons I have decided to scalp you and burn your village to the ground.

Happy Thanksgivin day

Oops. Sorry about that. Yes my ancestors are some of the oldest white folks in this Country. Not making light of what happened. Actually it bothers me that what you describe is part of my family's legacy.



I was not raised by my biological family, but by foster parents. As a teenager, my foster parents were indigenous peoples, Puerto Rican, the people that Columbus met when he came to America. I am not Native American, but have a great love for them for obvious reasons.


I do wish you all of the best my friend. If it were in my power, I would go back in time and do my best to prevent all of the terrible things that my ancestors perpetrated on the indigenous peoples. Since that is not possible, what I will do is this...

Blessings and Groovy Vibes to you and your loved ones,
Today and everyday!

hey my friend.. this is just a part of the movie "Addams family 2" from 90. I use this part of the movie cause it makes me laugh a lot. I'm not trying to judge anybody's legacy... I thaugh it was funny for the contest. for those who know the movie they know is a joke... that is it D: don't take me wrong... you could make the search in google for this quote of the movie. thanks for the blessings. same for you

Thank you for explaining, but it does bring up a good subject. No one answers for the sins of their ancestors, it is about what we do. Yes, I have seen the movie and it is very funny, but also deep sometimes.

Bendiga!

It is not my intention to offend anyone ... if I have to delete the comment. I gladly do it...

I am not offended. Actually I thought it was funny after you explained. You are fine my friend!
