Joy Reid and other hate-baiting media bobbleheads really need to check their privilege. While most people were enjoying their Thanksgiving with families and friends, Reid was bashing America saying that ‘we are a country founded on violence’. She bashed Thanksgiving as a celebration of genocide.

The MSNBC host began the segment by acknowledging the traditions of the holiday, noting that it is “the day we gather with friends and family to enjoy turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie. We throw on the game, catch up on our lives and the discuss, or quite possibly argue, about religion and politics.”

“For millions of Americans, it’s a day of cherished traditions. And as Americans, we certainly value those traditions,” Reid continued. “But its also important to unpack the myth of Thanksgiving. It is a holiday riddled with historical inaccuracies.”

Reid went on to state that the origin story of Thanksgiving is “built on this myth that the indigenous welcomed their colonizers with open arms and ears of corn. A simplistic fairy-tale interpretation of a 1621 encounter between indigenous tribes and English settlers that erases the genocide that followed.”

The historical truth behind the events that led up to the establishment of the early Thanksgiving traditions are stories that Reid says Republicans want “banned” from textbooks.

“Because here is the secret they want so desperately to keep. We are a country founded on violence,” she concluded.

Watch

Every country has a history of violence but it’s through the privileged lives America has all given us that we now redefine former leaders as ‘violent bigots’, when in their time they were revered as heroes.

The media’s war on Thanksgiving needs to stop. The modern-day holiday was established by President Abraham Lincoln just months after signing the emancipation proclamation. Lincoln was trying to piece together a nation torn in half by war and asked citizens to set aside their differences and come together in celebration.

I wonder how Lincoln would feel about the media using his proclamation to again try and tear the country apart.
