Los Angeles cancels Columbus Day
Joshua Rhett Miller ^ | 08/31/2017 | http://nypost.com

The Los Angeles City Council voted 14-1 on Wednesday to officially mark the second Monday in October as Indigenous Peoples Day on the city’s calendar — a day to commemorate “indigenous, aboriginal and native people.” The day will remain a paid holiday for city employees, the Los Angeles Times reported.

The vote followed a contentious hearing, during which some Italian-Americans said the switch would eradicate a key portion of their history, while others argued that city lawmakers needed to “dismantle a state-sponsored celebration of genocide indigenous peoples” and dismissed the idea of celebrating Indigenous Peoples Day on a different date altogether.

It’s about time someone exposed the history of the mass-murdering communist regimes these ANTIFA types worship then and now.

leaning,

you are trying to use facts and data. I think mocking laughter is more appropriate. :)

The future of America and the West

Due to declining Christendom and low white birth rates

Non white mostly non performing cultures or races are gaining power and will use that power to subjugate us

I’ve never lived in a place that “celebrated” Columbus Day in the first place, so I wouldn’t miss a thing other than banks and government offices not being closed.

Oh, wait, they’re substituting a PC equivalent to keep their precious day off.

Dang.

When I read a story like this I remember the first US army explorers in California who found the local Indigenous peoples preparing food for winter. Dried pulverized earthworms. Perhaps the city of LA can prepare a great feast of Indian foods from that time!

Some say earthworms are not native to the USA but they are.

http://www.smithsonianmag.com/smithsonian-institution/earthworm-native-united-states-more-questions-from-readers-180958094/

I’ve read that the earthworm is not indigenous to the United States. Is that true?

“No. Earthworms are native to the United States, says Melissa McCormick, ecologist at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center, but the earthworms in some northern parts of the country (including Vermont) aren’t indigenous....”

Other yummies the Indians loved...Page 55

Shall we compare the history and state of development in the countries of the world that were “conquered” by the English vs the Spanish and Portuguese?

So the LA City Council wants to celebrate the butchering cannibalistic slave owning indigenous Aztecs and their mestizo ancestry brought by the enlightened Conquistadores?

Hola!

Wait, isn’t Spanish a language of cultural oppression?

How about dedicating it to the 100+ million innocent people murdered under communist rule. That is, after all, what these protest organizers believe in. We can call it “Victims of Communism Day”.

Shhh...you're not supposed to bring that up! That has all been scrubbed from history.

Fine. Go live hand to mouth. No more technology of any sort for you. Revert to your condition before the evil white man: no metallurgy, no wheel, just fire and stone tools.

Go live like a caveman you stupid haters.

Without “Whitey” there would be no flushing toilets, sewer systems, etc. Leftists are too stupid and too evil for words.

With all the back and forth not to mention all the govt workers who receive a FREE day off with pay... perhaps it is time to toss them all and stick to national memorial day, a national independence day, and veterans day.

Unfortunately, neither facts nor laughter will do anything to slow down this destruction of history, this cultural fascism.

To stop this travesty, we need someone like Ronald Reagan. But there is no one like him out there today. As for Trump, he has his strong points. But he is no Reagan.

These preening self-important anal orifices can cancel THEMSELVES, for all I care. They are a ridiculous cancer on U.S. society, attempting to drag us all down.

I think there are holes in the melting pot and for all intents and purposes we should admit the Republic is all but finished as we know it and as founded. We are a floundering and divided nation. Liberal rot is like a nuclear meltdown.

Nobody over the age of 25 actually believes in socialism.

Thieves just throw out socialism as a smoke screen.

They’re eating cats in Caracas.

“The Hate America crowd in LA is now indigenous. California needs to secede.”

Why do we have to wait? Can’t we just expel them?
