27. Your history is off...
since that wasn't the first Thanksgiving. And regardless, Thanksgiving has changed as a holiday quite a bit, and its purpose today is positive.

As for your rants against "white people" and "European Christians", you need to put down the kool-aid. Native Americans were just as bloodthirsty and backstabbing as any other tribes have been throughout history, and didn't mind slaughtering each other when not fighting Europeans. I wouldn't want to have lived back then, whether with Native Americans or Europeans. All in all, humanity has made some great strides in some parts of the Earth since then, and while it's not perfect, we can at least be thankful for that.
