‘Many Native Americans consider Thanksgiving a day of mourning. Here’s how they mark the day’


The annual National Day of Mourning aims to honor Indigenous ancestors and showcase Native American resilience while promoting the facts behind the Thanksgiving holiday.


When hundreds of people gather on Cole’s Hill above Plymouth Rock in Massachusetts on Thursday, it will not be in celebration of Thanksgiving.


Members from numerous Indigenous communities as well as non-Natives will instead come together for the annual National Day of Mourning to mark the historical atrocities against Native Americans that often get lost in the traditional telling of Thanksgiving.


The live-streamed ceremony, which is organized by the United American Indians of New England, first started in 1970 with the goal of bringing awareness to the genocide of Native Americans and theft of their lands while aiming to promote the facts behind the Thanksgiving holiday. #NationalDayOfMourning #Thanksgiving #MisgivingDay #hoodreform #thestruggleisrealink

Love this!!

“A man and his wife traveled to the zoo.. They found a monkey that played passionately with his female.. His wife told him: "what a romance.” Then they found a lion and his lioness separated from each other; the lion silent and alone in his corner as if the lioness did not exist.. His wife told him: “what a sad scene without love.” Her husband then told her: “throw that stone at the lioness and watch.” When she threw it down, the lion leaped roaring to defend his lioness…They saw the monkeys again and she did the same by throwing a stone; the monkey then jumped and abandoned his female to save his hide.. Her husband tells her later: “do not be fooled by what you see as romanticism in some, many times it is a deceptive appearance that hides an empty heart; there are others on the contrary who do not show anything, but their hearts are full of sincere love..”

Never kick a man when he’s down give him the same respect you did when he was on top. Say what you want. Deontay went out like a warrior, on his shield and fought purely off heart for 7-8 rounds after R3/R4. There is no doubt in my mind he will bounce back.

A gut wrenching loss sure, but no all time great came without some adversity and losses in their lifetime.


All the respect for

Deontay Wilder, he is Proud of his heritage and I am So proud of his HEART, now back to the Lab Champ you got work to do…

“Booker T. Washington, educator, reformer and the most influentional black leader of his time (1856-1915) preached a philosophy of self-help, racial solidarity and accomodation. He urged blacks to accept discrimination for the time being and concentrate on elevating themselves through hard work and material prosperity.”
