Thanksgiving Celebrates Our 'Original Sin,' 'Views Virtually Identical To Nazis,' Journalism Prof Preaches

Forget all that turkey, stuffing and pumpkin pie, today should be a day of fasting and atonement for American “sin.” That’s according to Robert Jensen, a journalism professor at the University of Texas at Austin. Jensen, known for his hard-left politics, also calls Thanksgiving a “white-supremacist holiday.”
Jensen’s opinion piece “No Thanks for Thanksgiving,” appeared on the far-left, Soros-connected website Alternet on Thanksgiving eve. In it, he wrote how Native Americans suffered because of the “European invasion of the Americas.” He went on to compare the Founding Fathers to Nazi Germany. “How does a country deal with the fact that some of its most revered historical figures had certain moral values and political views virtually identical to Nazis?” he asked.
According to Jensen, Thanksgiving is “at the heart of U.S. myth-building. “But in the United States, this reluctance to acknowledge our original sin -- the genocide of indigenous people -- is of special importance today,” he explained.
Jensen has a long career in both working journalism and academia, including work as a copy editor at The St. Paul Pioneer Press and the St. Petersburg Times, as well as “volunteer editing and writing for the Texas Triangle, Austin (weekly statewide lesbian/gay paper).”
This wasn’t the first time Jensen has bashed America. He does so on a regular basis. Other Alternet pieces include headlines like “The Painful Collapse of Empire: How the ‘American Dream’ and American Exceptionalism Wreck Havoc on the World” or “What White People Fear.”
Alternet is part of the George-Soros-supported Media Consortium. It is one of 58 left-wing media operations that aim to create a progressive “echo chamber.”

He can take this argument, bake it and stuff it.

Yeah, the Indians didn't do anything wrong, they didn't kill any Puritans. The Puritans just went in and slaughtered everyone for no reason and ate the Indian babies for Thanksgiving dinner.

Keep talking like that and you just might get an honorary Ph.D.

This guy talks in theological terms. He is a sick crocodile.
National Day of Atonement accompanied by a self-reflective collective fasting.
spiritual/political ceremony
this reluctance to acknowledge our original sin
myth-building
He complaines about myth building and is doing exactly the same. Btw a myth is a invented or real event in the past, that claimes directions for our daily acting.
etc.

I have dealt with this piece of dreck before.
Back in the early 1990s when I was having my trouble with U/South Florida, I stupidly wrote to this momzer and asked him if it was faor what happened to me. He wrote me back and told me that it wasn't fair that there were too many shvartzes not in college and that sacrifices have to be made and that i could probably be better off without a master Degree.I replied if that meant I had roi sacrifice because of something I had nothing to do with. His reply? He dodn't have time to talk to me and don't e-mail him again.
Not saying YOU shouldn't contact this anti-Semite either and give him a piece of your mind

Most collleges/universities are very left wing but UT is really known for being super liberal around here.

If America is/was such a terrible place, why doesn't this piece of garbage go live someplace else?
