Hmmm. Considering Columbus landed on Hispanola...... Anyway, I've decided to call it DIP day henceforth. Destroy Indigenous Peoples Day. So, I'm also pretty sure that all of the 'guilt' associated with being the conqueror has all those guilty folks packing their bags and booking passage back to wherever their ancestors came from. Oh, and turning all of their ill gotten gains on the backs of the redskins over to the local tribes. Of course a lot of them will maintain that their great great grandma was 1/75th Cherokee or something.

I toasted Columbus with a swig of beer, and toasted Dixie with another.

Sure I’ll celebrate it. Right after I get around to celebrating Kwanzaa.

What Columbus did was introduce the New World to recorded History. Consider that we remember Pocahontas and her father, Powhatan, but the name of the chief’s father is lost to history.

I celebrated COLUMBUS DAY! I live close to COLUMBIA. We lived in COLUMBUS, MISS. at one time. I ate almond cookies in honor of COLUMBUS. My son’s name is CHRISTOPHER.

I’ve got some Cherokee blood in my veins; but I love CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS !

People are not indigenous to North America, they all migrated here from somewhere else. There are no “indigenous people”.

I did a couple of tomahawk chops, that’s about it.

Where did the “Indigenous Peoples” come from? Human beings are not native to the western hemisphere and walked across the Bearing land bride from Asia. They came in here and destroyed a garden of Eden paradise of animals and nature living in perfect harmony with each other, loving each other, caring for each other and then the hated humans arrived. Fortunately the “Indigenous Peoples” were able to extend the utopia with their discoveries, inventions and ways of making life easier, living with neighboring tribes and acting like their on United Nations. Then Whites arrived from Europe and it was all down hill from there. Right?
