I learned this in Catholic school for christ's sake. We've been teaching the genocide of the natives for decades. There are innumerable pop culture references to it as well which leads me to believe MOST people understand this.
No one goes to their grandma's house on thanksgiving and gives thanks to the good piligrims for their slaughter of natives. Black or White we're focused on family during the holiday.
But let's just move it to Friday and we'll make the old Thanksgiving a day of native remembrance? Does that satisfy?
I knew this and we don’t celebrate thanksgiving here. Just pop culture osmosis from TV.
Same, and I'm on the other side of the planet.
