It's not racist in the way that celebrating the 12th Of July in Northern Ireland is, and it dosn't celebrate the destruction of Native Americans, it celebrates the founding of the colonies,which are seperate things.

I don't know what happens on the 12th, the Orange show off their true colors??

It's not a racist holiday. It's agricultural in origin, it's not so much founding of the colonies, as it is a harvest feast. The Isrealites had something similar in the Feasts of Booths. And being religious that is probably why the Pilgrims celebrated the first Thanksgiving.

Unionists celebrate the destruction of Irish independence and the imposition of the penal laws upon Catholics, as well as the Cromwellian massacres of Catholics.
