I used to be idealistic once too, but lets keep in mind that hate and genocide is not exclusive to america and we're not the worst example of things. We have to keep in mind this, you can't bleed for eternity over something that happened to people who died 200 years before you were born. Thanksgiving was about the diner the settlers (in the US anyway) had with the native people. It should be celebrated.
We'd all like for the masses to become enlightened, but then we'd probably all accuse enlightenment of selling out. The masses are the masses for a reason, because its the average, mediocrity (which is afterall subjective). Their always going to do "ignorant stupid ****" accordsing to the "higher culture."
Celebrate.
