In this weeks Special Thanksgiving Episdoe, we dive into Thanksgiving... The good, the bad, and the ugly. We explore its origins, the ugly past it has with the Native American people, and how we try to overlook some of our ugly history. We also dive into how we have allowed commercialism and Black Friday to overshadow the true meaning of the hiliday. The bottom line, we need to come back to the intent of a day of rememberance and giving thanks, further, we need to own the past and accept that it is what has gotten us to where we are.
