[lbo-talk] Thanksgiving plows on ignoring ongoing genocide

[peacenow at theofficenet.com]

Yes,  americans of all colors do the Thanksgiving thing.  Even the Alcatraz 
bunch does after a cold morning on the Rock.  But the state of mourning i feel 
when with my resister Indigenous friends and family always is an ache my heart 
as the genocide lives on.  What continues to haunt my soul daily is the lack of 
integration of Indigenous struggles in the radar screen of the left, especially 
the lofty and privileged left. A bit of Leonard Pelteir here, a bit of Shoshone 
struggle there, but who gives a crap that it is never truly STOPPED!  I do 
believe that until americans of conscience stand to the death to end genocide 
here, we will fail miserably in our efforts to stop it elsewhere.  Hypocrisy 
continues even as supporters pass out foood to the Dineh at Big Mountain/Black 
Mesa refusing to be relocated.  I wonder at the extreme voicelessness Indigenous 
people continue to suffer, yet never give up...  Truly commendable.
