On October12,1492, the indigenous peoples did nothing out of the ordinary. On that same day, Christopher Columbus who had risked everything to fund this voyage, went where no one in Christendom had ever gone.Do we celebrate those who dare or those who simply exist?
Good post. We’ve been encouraged for decades to celebrate people simply for their ‘difference’, instead of their individual character.
It’s very dehumanizing.
Columbus day came about after 13 (?) Italians were lynched in New Orland’s.
Years ago Anti-Catholic sentiment (Italians and Irish) was strong in the US.
Even Margaret Sanger spoke out against them.
The KKK burned crosses because they were anti-Catholic.
