Nothing so bad as being cabin boy on The Raging Queen...

If the people of Seattle hate Christopher Columbus so much, they should take steps to reverse his “crimes,” starting with their own city.
Last Monday the Seattle City Council unanimously passed a resolution declaring the second Monday of October Indigenous People’s Day....
Socialist councilmember Kshama Sawant, indigenous to Pune, India, was more forthcoming about the measure’s explicitly anti-Columbus content. She said they pressed for having Indigenous People’s Day on the same day as Columbus Day to draw attention to the fact that the Genoan explorer “played such a pivotal role in the worst genocide humankind has ever known.” She scoffed at the cultural sensitivities of people of Italian heritage, advising that if they were upset they should “celebrate Italian American social-justice activists rather than Columbus.”
One of Mr. Harrell’s applause lines was, “I make no excuses for this legislation.” Brave words, but does he have an excuse for living on land appropriated from the Indigenous People he set out to honor? If he wants to “fully recognize the evil of the past,” maybe he should spearhead legislation to give Seattle back to the region’s original inhabitants.

Worst genocide in history?
I don’t think so. The worst genocide in the world happened between Saudia Arabia and Israel.
There was also the Irish genocide committed by the British. That was pretty impressive in its own right.
Columbus had a cabin boy,
The dirty little nipper.
Her house is probably on sacred Indian ground. She should end the occupation and go back to where she came from.
They were conquered, and should be grateful that they weren't treated worse.
"[The Native Americans] didn't have any rights to the land and there was no reason for anyone to grant them rights which they had not conceived and were not using.... What was it they were fighting for, if they opposed white men on this continent? For their wish to continue a primitive existence, their "right" to keep part of the earth untouched, unused and not even as property, just keep everybody out so that you will live practically like an animal, or maybe a few caves above it. Any white person who brought the element of civilization had the right to take over this continent."
They can take that Lenin statue with them when they leave too
If’n bitch don’t like America, why don’t she take her skank back to India? Go back to your freakin hell hole and screw with it.
I blame the Chinese for keeping all of their "ancient Chinese secrets" to themselves so that when the white man got to the Americas he had no cures for the diseases he brought.
Libtards are so stupid. Columbus never set foot in what is now the United States.
Obviously a renter.
Finders, Keepers.
Losers, Weepers.
Give it back to the pre-clovis people!
this idiot prolly thinks that the indian tribes were living peacefully here prior to Columbus reaching America!!!
I’m sure there was genocide happening among indian tribes.
Socialist council member Kshama Sawant is known for walking barefoot, even in winter, which has caused her feet to become extremely calloused.
She eats very little, mostly bean curd, and this has made her rather frail,
she seems to be able to read people’s minds
and her odd diet has made her breath somewhat foul.
This makes socialist Seattle council member Kshama Sawant a super-calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.
Saw ant is an anti-capitalist socialist, who takes every opportunity to bash the US, including supporting the OWS. The woman is purely nuts and people in Seattle seem to love her.
I like how she tried to run Boeing out of town for being an evil corporation. They should have left.

I have indigenous ancestors. So, give it all back to me.
My first act as the new big chief will be to send this gal back to India.
How come when lefties make the claim of genocide in a particular area they always say it was the worst ever seen - what a lot of horse hockey - how about the mate Stalin or his friend Adolph?
On national Indigents day, it’s rum, sodomy and the lash for that naughty nipper, little Lord Worchester.
