What do you think? Is Thanksgiving racist? And how familiar were you with its history?
It is incredible how much flack (or praise) White Anglo-Saxon Protestants (WASPS) receive today because of the persuasive interpretations delivered to American youth by educators in a position of trust (power, authority, influence, responsibility). Without hearing strong reasoning from both sides of every issue, students become conditioned to behave predictably, one-sidedly. Unfortunately, these students and many adults do not realize they are parroting the interpretations of others instead of truth. Many are unaware that what is personally convenient or feels good does not necessarily equate to truth.
All this to say, the Spanish and the British came to the Americas — according to various historians. In the Americas: settlements, trade, war, and disease took the lives of many men, women and child on all sides. The weaponry, immunity, and ideas of the European settlers prevailed. The European colonists in America and European imperialists in Africa, Asia and Australia prevailed. It was the prevailing survivors who wrote the tale. Now, English language and the US Dollar, as well as Capitalism and Judeo-Christian values of the West (Asia) are the prominent currency and commodity around the globe, and envied by most.
At one time, it was Egypt. Another time, China. Rome has its day, too. Various cultures have produced great works of art, in depth philosophies as well as enlightening spiritual practices. Great leaders, mathematicians, artists, athletes, military, and insights have come from every corner of the globe. However, today it is the USA that is supreme. The USA, like many empires before it, has inherited the accumulated wisdom and practices of the empires before it. And, like those empires, the USA cannot live forever. But, is short-sighted and self-loathing to hate everything American, or representative of American national and patriotic feeling because of past or present wrongs occurring in America. We need to do better, sure. But, let’s not forget the progress made here by the heterogeneous group here, and let’s ALL take pride in our biodiverse tribe and home.
Yes
Fuckboy troll bitch. I'm from the 80's where you white boys ain't cool. Change my mind cornball.

I personally truly do not care if these brats think it’s racist.. I’m going to celebrate anyway, and enjoy every minute of it.. Happy Thanksgiving patriots.
If cookie monster takes 1 hour to bake a batch of cookies, how long does it take him to cook 6,000,000 cookies?
It's hard to have your mind changed when your argument and viewpoints are bulletproof, and respective of all sides. That second girl needs to learn that.
In this case. Christians shouldn't celebrate Christmas.
The underlying problem is that both sides of the story are never taught in school, merely glazed over in a paragraph in a text book. There is always that "white guilt" that outshines the facts of what actually happened.
Liberals are always searching for something to be mad about. Liberals are always ruining the party.
47:03 Yes, an emphasis on definitions. Because connotations are subjective, meaning they will change from one person to another.
As I sit here and listen to her I think to myself, "is this just another dumb fucking leftist or is this the reality of dumb-ass'ness among white people these days?" If it is the latter, have we created comfort to such absurd levels in the West that my fellow whites have evolved to the level of pure fucking worthlessness? If it takes a massive pandemic or some sort of die-off of these idiots and the jackasses we've allowed to take what we've built, well then I'm all for it! Then, the small surviving bands of the rest of us can start fresh and prove... YET AGAIN... why we build the greatest societies. (and yes, fuck them up again in latter generations as proven by the first cunt in this video.)
Celebration of genocide via pox is racist
Islamic style slavery isn't bad. Eg the slaves need to have free housing, food, clothing, workload that cannot exceed certain bounds, etc. That's actually better than most living in the West today- many would want to become slaves these days. Note that Islamic slavery solves the problem of government subsidization- people are paying for food, housing, etc of the lowest class in exchange for labor instead of the taxpayer. This also increases the liquidity of the labor market. Such an elegant solution to a problem that plagues the West today.
4:10 Night 4 Completed , YYAAAAYYYYY
They must make these type of videos do to deter the reduction of Capital gain. It's crazy how delusional pale people are in general. The origins of Thanksgiving is by far a sick,evil and sadistic. These kids are clueless; so how are they even worthy to combat this idiot who's "interviewing". Typical pale delusional psychosis filled ploy to ignore the true origins of their sick holidays.
Don't they realize this land would be a shithole if it wasn't colonized? Just look as the reservations.
Go To An HBCU Preferably
Texas Southern University
Don’t get scared Crowder
Wait.Who thinks Thanksgiving is racist?Why?
Yo hold up this chick is defending the Mexicans that murdered my brave forefathers at the Alamo, that's messed up
fair play to the last girl, she was cool
Way to go Steve calling out that first girl on her targeted anti-white bullshit
That, like, guy was like, absolutely, like atrocious to like, listen to, right? Like, right?
My favorite part of these is when Steven throws so many facts at these clueless people that they literally cannot process what is going on.
ole revisionist Steven at it again :D
Wow, these kids are fed that America is a rather dreadful place. Everything that makes The U.S. so wonderful is rooted in evil. This is sick. Where are the parents? Weren’t there discussions at the dinner table? The parents have to know the brainwashing to which their kids are being exposed.
Damn the second girl was brainwashed but she had a fat ass so she’s pretty cool.
you know, I kind of respect your arguments and you articulate your points well. I think the people who sit down, not that they don't have valid points, but they can't articulate their points due to lack of factual evidence ?? Idno I really do think the voices who should be heard the clearest are from the people who have lived and breathed that particular experience, anecdotal evidence is pretty important

When that muslim woman started talking about Islam and terrorism she sure got quiet very quickly and couldn't get out of there fast enough. People like her make me worry for America's future. How sad. The last one thought Steven wasn't framing his statement very well? No, he made a very specific point and she tried to change it to something else, so she could stay triggered. I can see it now, point to a flower and call it as such. A liberal will claim that you must hate trees and grass because you didn't mention them...as you point to the flower. Geeze, liberals are so brain washed they can't even think for themselves anymore.
I literally had to skip past the first girl after 37 minutes of listening to her repeat the sound of nothing at all lol.
The more I watch this, the more I'm sad that we've allowed our institutions of "higher education" to instill such disrespect for this nation and its institutions. As a result, these students seem like cultural zombies, brainwashed that they're not allowed to revere much of our history, and sorely lacking in critical thinking. They just echo what they've been fed by biased educators. Our colleges instill self-loathing and hatred for our country.
That second girl is an example of our failed educational system. She clearly hates the U.S. and blithely dismissive of the sacrifices made by our forebears that have made America the most equitable country in the world for all races, with more opportunity than any other place on the planet. What a pathetic little brat, devoid of graciousness....I would never hire her, she would be a constant source of problems. The quintessential Debbie Downer. BTW proformative is not a word...
The post-modernist indoctrination is nearly complete in the American education system.
Dude I love Steven so much because I get to learn so much every video and I get more knowledgeable every video, and anyone who helps me achieve those things I am forever grateful.
9/11 wasn't an inside job, change my mind.
"I'm mentally ill" says the entire new generation. AND YOU BELIEVE EVERYTHING THEY SAY OR THEY WILL PETTY KILL THEMSELVES. What a time to be alive
Thanksgiving is just getting together with family and eating food. Christmas is just family getting together to be grateful for each other and show it with gifts. That's all.
Marriage, Fidelity, Abstinence, Chasity, and self defense is how you can 100% protect yourself from STDs. Otherwise that's on you. Not sorry. 🇺🇸
Yes thanksgiving is racist and pagan
also... white people aren’t true jews that the bible talks about 🥵
This the reason sending your children to college is stupid.
I think I wanna suck on those big fat tits of the blonde chick. Ugh, I'm a disgusting pig. Or maybe I just tell the truth.
When white people came to America, they found people living in tents. Do you know what we call people who live in tents today? Homeless. Now those native Americans have cars and homes and electricity and jobs and healthcare and an education and rights and peace (they fought each other a lot before the white man showed up). Their lives are immeasurably better BECAUSE of white people. This white guilt thing is retarded.
Thanksgiving is more offensive to turkeys than humans. "Dragon Night" by Sekai No Owari comes to mind when I think of the intent of Thanksgiving, especially the lines that go, "... The war that never ends continues for eternity, but tonight the fire burns to show that we’ve made peace...."
What's with the pouty lip?
The SJW stance on Thanksgiving makes as much sense as saying "We shouldn't celebrate Martin Luther King Day because it downplays the fact most people in the 1960s were racist."
The indigenous peoples didn´t domesticate horses because they are not indigenous to the american content they were brought over by the Europeans.
That first girl is such a lovely person. She never interrupted she never got emotional and she was professional the whole way through and continue to explain her points. MOST IMPORTANTLY. She was willing to say that she can't speak on a subject she doesn't know about, if only people had that sense in todays politics. She is a great example of a critical thinker.
how can someone be so wrong about so much.
You should do one on the term “nazi” and what that really means and how the left throws the term around today.
53:40 shorty in the back is thick asl
The first young woman is rambling and dumb as shit!
