Every Columbus Day, we are treated to recycled howls from the left who insist the day be rebranded as Indigenous People’s Day, in honor of the millions of Native Americans displaced, enslaved, or killed during the centuries preceding the discovery of America. We hear terms like “colonialism,” “systemic oppression,” “cultural genocide,” and “stolen land,” thrown around.
Here is a brief list of the European Indigenous Peoples who were victimized by invading armies and migrations, by colonialism, systemic oppression, and cultural genocide, but whose sufferings are rarely if ever acknowledged by the left:
The Greek city-states
From 492 to 449 BC, Persia launched a series of invasions against the Greek mainland. This was after years of stealing their land across the Anatolian coast. The Indigenous Peoples of the Greek city-states eventually expelled the invaders, but not before Persian armies ransacked much of central Greece and razed Athens to the ground.
The Roman Republic
From 264 to 146 BC, the Indigenous peoples of the Roman Republic attempted to resist aggression and expansion of the Carthaginian Empire from North Africa into Sicily in what became known as the Punic Wars. The Carthaginian general Hannibal invaded the Republic by land, destroyed its armies and occupied it for decades. The Romans eventually expelled the occupiers and ended the 500 year Carthaginian hegemony of the Western Mediterranean.
Italy
During the 4th and 5th Centuries AD, the Huns of Central Asia (modern Kazakhstan) invaded Europe. After ransacking their way through the Balkans, Hungary, and Thrace (modern Bulgaria), they forewent an attack on Rome in exchange for continuous tribute money. A peace treaty was signed, with the unfortunate effect that the Indigenous Peoples’ signatories actually believed the Huns would honor it.

More precisely, "Indignant Peoples’ Day"
Meaning what ever ethnic group (blacks and browns) is popular but in the minority controlled and enslaved by the evil white devils.
the Aztecs the myans just like the Muslims were and are peace loving people. What apocalypto for a reference or the nightly real news from the middle east
Yeah, somehow that beautiful, human rights oriented culture tends to get forgotten in the greater quest for “social justice”, doesn’t it?
1492: the year the Indians discovered they needed a wall.
I saw Dick Gregory once give a speech at the University of South Florida.
Essentially it was that at one point in history every group of people were the (N word).
He spoke of the Italian then Irish being such.Then went on to tell of the American Indian, wow they really were the put upon. Hell at the time the accepted doctrine was the only good indian is a dead indian.
Look at them Jews, again, the only good Jew was a dead one. Them Chinese building our railroads.
GET OVER IT folks.
I thought it was ‘93.
My Iphone Calendar app shows Columbus Day and after that indigenous...
Let’s not forget the North African Barbary Pirates who enslaved captured sailors, and launched slave raids across Europe.
Indigenous Losers’ Day
Ramirez really boils it down to the essence visually, doesn’t he?
It’s endless: they didn’t even touch on the invasions of England by the Romans, Norsemen, Normans, Dutch, or the English oppression of Wales, Scotland and Ireland. The idea that people whose ancestors were starved out of their countries and treated like serfs when they arrived in North America, owe reparations to others based solely on race, is preposterous. My ancestors didn’t have a pot to p*ss in when they arrived on these shores and had no responsibility for the actions of the ruling class who owned slaves.
Being of paternal Polish ancestry, I demand universal condemnation of Russia, Germany, Austria, and the King of Sweden.
Don’t forget the Normans, who for hundreds of years effectively acted as a separate caste (including only marrying with eachother) in ruling the conquered in England and Ireland.
Tak jest!
How about “Celebrate Border Laws” Day.
Clearly, if Indigenous People had border laws that they enforced, Columbus would have been an illegal alien and would have been sent home.
There are no indigenous people anywhere. They all migrated from a small spot most likely in Turkey.
The people we “stole” the land from, stole it from somebody else.
