Folks don't give a damn what a holidays origin comes from as long as they're off from work so they can act a fool! :pachaha:
And that's the sad part IMO. As long as the pork chops are porking and the turkey is turkeying, huh? Go along to get along.

Uncertain grounds
I feel you.. To some people it isn't a big deal, to some it is..Its a little history behind some, especially blacks, see it as a big deal though.. And I respect that because its truly hard to break old habits.

I also respect that

I just wish that some people tried to change their own circumstances to add happiness and remove toxicity from their lives.

If someone hates their family and has no friends, they can still use the day to be thankful for whatever in their life does bring them comfort or happiness. A pet, job, having a roof over their head etc.

Life is rough and I'm not suggesting to necessarily abide by traditions forced upon people by power holders. I'm suggesting using a day off to somehow assuage stress

And if there was a national celebration in and around the time of slavery that day got merged into American culture, would you just "get over it"

People need to do what the fukk they wanna do. Y’all done got so authoritative over the years. Mothafukkas turning into old finger wagging ass nikkas in real time.

People obviously gonna take advantage of time off from work and the opportunity to be around fam. However, a lot mothafukkas still gonna point out how the origin of the holiday is some bullshyt. How can that bother anyone is what I don’t understand? If other people wanna not get that deep that’s fine. But y’all need to respect other people viewpoints and philosophies as well.
