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.
This. ^^^
Western Civilization has been exceptionally good for humanity. Western civilization has been based on Christianity for 1800 years.
It should be Leif Erickson day
miss Pastor Bill. a lot of commonsense informed by a love of history and the Word.
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.
In Texas, today is State Fair Day for Texas public school kids.
How about the fact that none of these ingrates would be alive today to celebrate the supposed better non-Columbus world? He made that much of a difference. Someone else would have eventually settled the western hemisphere, but that would have been a different world that we would not be a part of. Few people have affected world history to that extent.
Please keep celebrating! No one comes to work, and that means we get maintenance downtime to complete work.
Leave it up to Americans. We’ll celebrate Columbus Day and everyone else can celebrate whatever the hell they want. Hamas might work for some of them. Garland’s Department of Jesters might work for others.
Many Democrat run crap-hole cities are celebrating indigenous peoples day. They have ditched Columbus day for sure. They can’t do jack for their cities, with homeless and druggies out in the streets, but they sure can virtue signal.
The First Columbus Day Arose From Bloodshed and Political Calculation
https://orderisda.org/culture/stories/the-first-columbus-day-arose-from-bloodshed-and-politics/
War was on the table between the U.S. & Italy after 11 Italian immigrants were lynched in New Orleans in 1891. The diplomatic crisis cooled thanks to the first Columbus Day, and what followed was a cultural celebration built on inclusion & assimilation.
The Columbus Circle statue was unveiled on Oct. 13, 1892, at the foot of Central Park in New York City. It was built to appease the Italian American community during a period of unflinching discrimination. NYC council members now want to tear it down.
On March 14, 1891, prominent New Orleans citizens — including future mayors and governors — led the largest lynch mob ever to assemble on U.S. soil.
Numbering in the tens of thousands and wielding torches, rifles and rope, the mob of vigilantes stormed into Parish Prison and murdered 11 Italian immigrants, all of whom had either just been acquitted or were falsely implicated in the 1890 murder of New Orleans Police Chief David Hennessy.
The victims included:
–Antonio Bagnetto, fruit peddler: tried and acquitted
–James Caruso, stevedore: not tried
–Loreto Comitis, tinsmith: not tried
–Rocco Geraci, stevedore: not tried
–Joseph Macheca, fruit importer and Democratic Party political boss: tried and acquitted
–Antonio Marchesi, fruit peddler: tried and acquitted
–Pietro Monasterio, cobbler: mistrial
–Emmanuele Polizzi, street vendor: mistrial
–Frank Romero, ward politician: not tried
–Antonio Scaffidi, fruit peddler: mistrial
–Charles Traina, rice plantation laborer: not tried
Mob conspirators claimed that mafia influence swayed jurors, despite no evidence; and according to History.com, the court proceedings surrounding Chief Hennessy’s murder marked the genesis of Italian American mafia tropes that persist today (from boorish Saturday Night Live sketches, to Hollywood’s repetitive stereotypes).
Celebrate it.
If we didnt come here the Indians would still be massacre-ing each other with primitive tools and being seasonally nomadic. And would have been totally conquered by eastern societies.
Tribal/nomadic peoples that do not establish cities do not progress far compared to those that do. You need a stable base of operations from which to make technical leaps and progress.
We should use liberals to celebrate holidays like the pre Columbian savages.
Columbus was not an American. Americans should be about Americans.
.
American holidays.
If the paleface had never come to this continent, the indigenous people to this day would still be living in teepees as hunter-gatherers just as their ancestors had before them.
