The hate-America left has eliminated Columbus Day in many areas. Their real target is love of this country. By accusing Columbus of genocide, they attack the very root of this country, the man who discovered the New World.
They could’ve simply added an Indigenous Peoples’ Day in June, to match the Canadian practice (which would’ve been logical from a continental point of view). But no, they had to use this as a club to bludgeon yet another part of Western Civilization.

Yes they refer to us as colonizers. How for instance would a friend of mine who came here as a child from Germany in the 50s be held accountable for what happened to the natives in 1850s? Europe is one big example of first nations being pushed out. By the Franks, Visagoths, Huns, Magyars, ect. Fact of life that I think certain peoples need to get over.
