Breaking News: White House Tukey Calls ‘Foul!’ — GOP Leadership Demands Turkey Pardon Rule Change

Reports claim top GOP Congress members recommend Trump deny a traditional pardon for the entire Thanksgiving turkey and reserve it only for the white meat.

The tone of this Thanksgiving at the White House resembles the mindset we’ve all become accustomed to. According to the images and principles Republicans have displayed, their bias for everything ‘White’ may have traveled all the way to our honored Thanksgiving feast rituals.

Sources tell of extreme prejudice regarding an order to consume only white turkey meat on Thanksgiving Day.

While the veracity of these claims cannot be confirmed, we all know it’s true. As much as the GOP members (Grand Old Party — Republicans) deny racism or bigotry, we recognize it in their actions and their subtle slip-ups whenever they speak.

Jokes Aside

Examples of republicans contradicting themselves about racism in the U.S. are rampant. In her speech to the Republican National Convention, Nikki Haley points to the prejudice and bigotry aimed at her family and then denies it’s an overwhelming, current problem. Haley implies America has conquered its issue with racism and minimizes the matter by dismissing the thought, saying America is a work in progress.

The GOP cannot get away with downplaying the horrors of racism anymore. Stop the bullshit!

Our ears need straight to the issue ‘Turkey Talk”, plain honesty is required. Forget about your tender feelings and call racism and bigotry exactly what it is.

Leadership in the White House and Congress need every tone of turkey shoved down their throat until they get the point. We, the real People, are tired of your equivocations and outright lies. Stop telling us America isn’t racist when we can see it on our neighbor corners and at the grocery store. It’s ‘Everywhere-America.’ And it didn’t just start since Obama became President or when Orange whitey in his tighties took office.

This country was founded and built on racism and classism. Thanksgiving is a beautiful idea, but it’s a holiday constructed with a celebration based on stealing People’s lands and murdering them. Eat that!

We have an old white man coming into the Oval Office, and he’s the hope for change and return to sanity formerly achieved. But, we don’t need a return to yesterday’s thinking because it’s not far from today’s. We need a greater, more drastic change—a revolution.

The revolution must come in reforming education to give real facts concerning racism and lawful address before Congress. Congress then must be dissolved and new representatives elected. The old ways must all go.

The present government and Constitution will not allow for the revisions in thinking and governance we need. It’s time to rewrite the Constitution and reconstruct our nation.

My family will be eating the whole turkey this year, and we will be giving thanks. We will discuss the real events and history of Thanksgiving. Are you ready to put aside ignorance and discuss means to engineer a future of equality for all humankind?

The seeds for real change can be planted to grow understanding and actions representing the love and thanks we profess to embrace.

Let our rituals stand but let them be new kinds of thanks giving. Let them be rituals for real prayers, then calls to action for reform. You might think my children and family don’t want to hear this heavy topic at our joyous feast. But, this year is different from any other year.

Covid-19, the pandemic upon us, gives us the chance to open up a new dialogue. Many, if not most of us, will be enjoying Thanksgiving dinner with our nuclear family or ‘Safe-Pod,’ and we will have the opportunity to talk about the reality of racism. It doesn’t have to be the topic for your entire dinner, but there are no ears, to young or old, that cannot bear to hear the truth.

This year we won’t be worrying about seeing the extended family or friends we don’t want to see, and we can concentrate on the grateful feelings we have for each other. This is an unprecedented time in our lives. The seeds for real change can be planted to grow understanding and actions representing the love and thanks we profess to embrace.
