The indigenous people who were here first were displaced by American Indian tribes long ago and that pattern continued for centuries with other Indian tribes pushing out other tribes. It is stupid virtue signaling crap.

I’m celebrating Stone Age culture meets a gunpowder culture day. The only chance the Indians had was if their diseases sent to Europe were much deadlier than the reverse and Europe was depopulated. Maybe if they had Emperor Fauci-zuma, whose revenge is more powerful than Montezuma’s.

If we have to call Columbus Day Indigenous People’s Day, can we at least call all the casinos they were awarded “Casino Columbus”. After all, if there was no Columbus to find them, they would have no casinos.

It’s Columbus Day. Anti Italian bigots have no place in polite society

No humans were indigenous to the Western hemisphere. ALL came from somewhere else, or their ancestors did.

Funny thing, I was checking the NWS site for next weeks weather and they still show Columbus day for Monday. Did they not get the memo? 🤣 Oh, and our forecast is possible rain/snow mix. ?????

That weekend is when the wheelie bois run roughshod through south Florida. Last year they swarmed the local beach then as a rolling and looting mob of over a thousand “teens”, they ransacked businesses in a ten block stretch, like a swarm of feral locusts. One restaurant pulled tables & chairs inside and locked the doors to protect customers that were eating. Gunshots are the last thing one wants to hear when at the beach with family over a holiday weekend.

Thank you for the reminder to stay home next weekend.

Which indigenous peoples?

The Mexicans? Or the ones who were driven out by the Mexicans?

Pretty soon the days the government works will be fewer than the holidays.

They did misspell COLUMBUS day

I pitched a small fit at my bank telling them how insulted I was that they did not recognize my Italian contributions to our country. And that I also have feather Indian roots.

All the signage changed

Now both are acknowledged.

Try it.

It’s COLUMBUS DAY!

Anyone who says anything different is an enemy of America, Mexico, and of Western civilization!

.......Many Mexicans observe October 12 as Columbus Day, or Day of the Race (Día de la Raza) in remembrance of when Christopher Columbus came to the Americas......

Humans first came here over the Bering Straights land bridge. They established themselves in various parts of the hemisphere and were at war with their neighbors for centuries down to the present time. Not one native person stayed on their original land when a stronger tribe came along. Native Americans who are here today all live on stolen land, stolen from the previous tribe who stole it from the previous tribes.

It is really Columbus Day , and what is funny is that most American Indians (what they call themselves) don’t care for the term “indigenous.”
