Minnesota has been dying for a long time. I think they're just about there.

I feel for the good people outside the population centers who are still normal.

Just a comment on “Minnesota nice”: there’s absolutely nothing nice about it. It’s passive aggressive and it’s pretty much the same as same as “Bless your heart” in the south.

No mention of the gizzilion Somalis now living in the Twin Cities. Thanks Lutheran Church!

Am I a jerk for thinking it's funny that four out of five people pictured on the page are white?
Or is that just an illustration of their "problem?"

Well, they’re all women, so …

Other resources listed on the site include literature from Ibram X. Kendi and Robin DiAngelo, along with a link titled, "How to explain white privilege in terms simple enough for a child."

Great!! Indoctrinate the children at the earliest age, or adults who are morons.

As several mentioned above, the Lutheran Church and Catholic Charities are the 2 major players (NGOs) in using OUR TAX DOLLARS to erase our borders.
Any wonder why some Catholic Bishops and the Pope are crying about immigration so much? Their worried about the money being cut off. Personally, I think their tax-exempt status needs to be removed also.

I agree with you that the Lutheran Church and Catholic Charities are the 2 major players (NGOs) in using OUR TAX DOLLARS to erase our borders.

The Church and the government are in bed together, intentionally bringing in illegal aliens (immigrants). But Trump has largely put an end to that. They should not receive any government funding... even if they say they will stop.

Oh look! More social justice/woke/DEI garbage.

Universities, school districts nationwide call for 'decolonizing' Thanksgiving: 'Day of mourning'

As families across the U.S. gather on Thanksgiving to celebrate one of the nation’s most cherished national holidays, some educators and schools are lamenting the day, pushing back on its "colonial" roots, and incorporating diversity, equality and inclusion DEI into the holiday.

At the University of California, Davis, the California History-Social Science Project, which describes itself as "Resources & professional learning for K-12 history-social science," hosted a Zoom event called "Decolonizing Thanksgiving in the Classroom."

"We will discuss reframing classroom practices and rituals about Thanksgiving," the event description explained. "Centering perspectives from Turtle Island (a name for North America used by some indigenous people) will help us decolonize Thanksgiving and spark new conversations about how to authentically make meaning of this holiday with our students."

Earlier this month, Washington University in St. Louis, an institution that has long been criticized over its DEI policies, put out a press release promoting an event that "highlights and honors the way different cultures recognize and understand Thanksgiving, both as part of their history and as a tradition brought into the present day."

The event was described as a way to "actively contribute to inclusive and equitable practices that influence individual and systemic change."

On Tuesday, Massachusetts Institute of Technology students are invited to the "4th annual Thanksgiving Myth-busting" event that is aimed at "continuing our exploration of the narratives justifying land grabs via colonialism" and includes a viewing of the TV show "Buffy the Vampire Slayer."

Part of that effort, according to the invitation, includes students traveling in rental cars to the National Indigenous Day of Mourning (NDOM) rally in Plymouth, Massachusetts, at the location of the Mayflower’s landing.

In a statement, an MIT spokesperson told Fox News Digital the school is closed on Thursday and Friday in honor of Thanksgiving.

"In the same way that individuals are free at MIT to express their views, they are free to observe holidays as they wish, pray as they choose, share their ideas about holidays, and, yes, watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer if that’s what they freely choose to do," the spokesperson said, adding that "the views expressed by an individual are their own and do not reflect those of MIT or the wider community on campus."

At the University of Massachusetts, the school referred to Thursday as a "Day of Mourning" in an announcement on its Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility website.

"The National Day of Mourning is an annual demonstration, held on the fourth Thursday in November, that aims to educate the public about Native Americans in the United States, notably the Wampanoag and other tribes of the Eastern United States; dispel myths surrounding the Thanksgiving story in the United States; and raise awareness toward historical and ongoing struggles facing Native American tribes," the announcement says.

Earlier this month, the University of Maryland School of Public Policy hosted a talk called "Harvesting the Truth: Colonial Disruptions of Indigenous Food Systems & the Myths of Thanksgiving."

Students attending Albuquerque Public Schools in New Mexico were sent a November Indigenous Education update explaining that "many native people do not celebrate" Thanksgiving because it is a "reminder of the genocide of millions of Native people, the appropriation of Native lands, and the erasure of Indigenous cultures."

The school district also referred to Thanksgiving as a time of "mourning" for some.

The Berkeley Unified School District in California also used the term "mourning" in its "Rethinking Thanksgiving Teaching Guide" while asking the community to consider the "painful legacy" and "nuanced perspectives" of the day.

Paul Runko, senior director of Strategic Initiatives at Defending Education, told Fox News Digital, "Thanksgiving is meant to bring people together, not to divide students or cast blame over heritage. It is an opportunity for students, parents, and teachers to celebrate America, build unity in their communities, and share a meal with family and friends."

"236 years ago, President George Washington urged Americans to set aside a day to give thanks for the blessings and abundance of our nation. Presidents throughout our history have continued that tradition, reminding us each Thanksgiving to pause and reflect with gratitude."

ALL of the Indians on the continent in 1620 had stolen the land via colonization from previous peoples, going back a very long time. Tribes warred against each other for land, women, slaves, and other resources. The original peoples who came to the continent many thousands of years ago were displaced (killed, out-competed, or forcible displaced) by later peoples.

White Europeans were not doing anything to the natives that the natives hadn't previously done to others. Mostly, but certainly not universally, the Europeans at least were not genocidal.

The entire human history, including present day, is colonization, displacement, competition for resources, and a Darwinian survival of the fittest culture.

The aspects of "white" culture, are also aspects of east asian culture, although east asia is generally more socially conservative. But they didn't criticize "yellow" culture.

Realistically, white and yellow characteristics are those that are most compatible with success in civilization. Arguing against them is a form of post modernism where the entire concept of cause and effect is turned upside down.

National Indigenous Day of Mourning (NDOM)

Absent English/American colonizing, they'd not have been left alone to do their primitive thing. Nope, nope, nope.

Anyone with an inkling of history/geography and no axe to grind would realize that if the US hadn't expanded inward, the interior would have been ground zero for the Russians (NW), French (Canada/Louisiana), British (Canada) and Spanish (Florida/Mexico) to meet in the middle and battle it out. Think 'French and Indian War', takes 2 through 22.

And, the Europeans were not shy about 'recruiting' colonial troops for their European battles. WWI and WWII had French and British colonials in the firing lines.

TL: DR Here in the real world, absent the US, their lands would have been ground zero for European wars, and they'd have found themselves turned into cannon-fodder for Europe's battles elsewhere.

I'm not against multiculturalism, because I know that some cultures are much more compatible and accommodating than others. Its the others that are the problem....

My home experienced whiteness pandemic yesterday - every white person in my household had a 24 hour bug...

I’m from there and it’s always been the most liberal midwestern state. It’s now gone so far I would call it the SanFrancisco of the Midwest.

Minnesota nice is a real thing and it makes for a perfect target for progressive ideas and worse.

I know quite a few people that moved to Minnesota because
Milwaukee and Madison were too conservative for them.
