Thanksgiving

Several years ago an attempt was made to cancel Christmas but it failed because of lack of support. More recently a push to get rid of Thanksgiving is the news. The reason given is that it celebrates a time when native Americans lost their land and their culture to invading colonist. This assumes that these natives would have been better served if the New World had not been discovered. Would they still be tribal and fighting over land. Indians fighting Indians was a common occurrence. Would they still be living in tents in the forest or on the plains. In 2019, 25% of Native Americans over the age of 25 had an associate degree or higher. How about Black Americans. They would all be living in Africa where per capita income is less than $2,000 per year. If the past could be changed many things would be better but also many things would be worse. If a poll were taken would these two groups prefer that the colonist had never come? Which way would they be better off today?
