"On November 25th, 1491
Santiago defeats the last Muslim stronghold, Grenada
King Ferdinand gave thanks to God for victory
And the Pope of Rome and declared this date to forever be
A day of Thanksgiving for all European Christians
.. Now listen, when you celebrate Thanksgiving
What you are actually celebratin
is the proclamation of the Pope of Rome
Who later, in league with Queen Isabella
sent Cardinal Ximenos to Spain
to murder any blacks that resisted Christianity
These Moors, these black men and women
were from Baghdad, Turkey
And today, you eat the turkey, for your Thanksgiving day
as the European Powers destroyed the Turkeys
Who were the forefathers of your mothers and fathers"

First of all, I don't know about whether or not the Pope declared November 25th a holiday because of the siege of Grenada, but I'm trying to find some more info.

Secondly, to say that because two things are celebrated on the same day that they have some connection is again pretty dumb. Stoners all over America celebrate April 20th because they adopted it as their holiday, but Hitler was born on April 20th, so are they celebrating Hitler's birthday?
