Celebrate it. This is NOT indigenous day, it is Columbus Day.

I remember Pastor Bill(RIP). He was a frequent contributer to this site.

I had some nice conversations with him.

Thank you for sharing this with us.

Indigenous people should have picked their own day - something meaningful for their culture. Destroying Columbus Day wasn’t the way to go.

No debate. Columbus was a courageous and brave explorer.

Happy Columbus Day!

Besides tired of all the anti-white crap.

"But obviously Columbus day isn’t merely about Columbus ,it’s really about western civilisation,"

A really good summation.

Western Civilization has been exceptionally good for humanity. Western civilization has been based on Christianity for 1800 years.

Bahahahahaha

Leif Erikson Day is an annual observance that occurs on October 9. It honors Leif Erikson, the Norse explorer who, in approximately 1000, led the first Europeans believed to have set foot on the continent of North America. Wikipedia

He should have his own day.

Columbus Day commemorates when Columbus landed in the West Indies in October of 1492.

Leif Erickson should have his own day commemorating when he landed.

I guess October 9th is Leif Erickson Day. Didn’t know that.

Columbus Day was always October 12th anyway.

So they do both have their own day, as they should!

He nailed this.

Multiculturalism is a false religion hoisted upon our nation by communists who hate God and hate Christianity. And so, so many ‘conservatives’ ate it up.

This year's media spin is since Columbus didn't get here first, he shouldn't have any commemoration. No joke, heard that grousing about it all day.
