America Apologizes for its Own Existence
CFP ^ | October 18, 2009 | Daniel Greenfield

Posted on 10/18/2009 9:16:19 AM PDT by bogusname

Last week was Columbus Day, once considered a major event, the holiday has been undergoing a decline in recent years. Columbus Day parades have met with protests and some have been deemphasized or outright eliminated.

In California, Columbus Day become Indigenous People’s Day, which sounds vaguely like a Marxist terrorist group’s holiday. But while it’s tempting to put that down to California’s political correctness, in South Dakota, Columbus Day became Native American Day, and that is a trend that other states are likely to follow, as protests mounted under the aegis of La Raza (The Race- the Hispanic KKK) continue to grow. And while none have thus far followed Venezuela’s lead in renaming it Día de la Resistencia Indígena, or Day of Indigenous Resistance, which indeed is a Marxist terrorist group’s holiday, the whole notion of celebrating the discovery of America has come to be seen as somehow shameful and worst of all, politically incorrect...

If it weren’t for Christopher Columbus, there wouldn’t be any “Hispanics.”

It's just more outright racism from the left. White folks are no longer allowed to have official holidays or celebrate their ancestral heritage.

Somehow Columbus has morphed into a “redneck” sent out by the evil Fundamentalist Protestant United States of America to “oppress” and “enslave” the “indigenous” Spanish-speaking sixteenth century inquisition Catholics of “Latin America.”

Had a great parade and celebration here on “The Hill” in St. Louis. This is the little Italy of the St. Louis metro region and I love living here.

It's just more outright racism from the left. White folks are no longer allowed to have official holidays or celebrate their ancestral heritage.

And why is that? Because the left is running unopposed. It's time to start screaming at them, suing them, calling them names to balance being called whiteys, honkeys, crackers, etc. Instead of just chuckling, we should be indignant and make a big deal out of it.

The more decency we show, the more of this PC crap we'll get until it'll be a crime to be White.

If the left persists, PC can be a two-way street, but we have to make it so, one way or the other.

Visions of Brenda Lee singing “I’m Sorry” to Iron Eyes Cody, the Italian Native American come to mind. Maybe Brenda could borrow his plastic tear.

They are trying to gin up gringo guilt, as if White guilt wasn’t enough.

Columbus risked his life sailing into uncharted waters showing extreme bravery. Has Obama ever risked his life doing anything? Although the murder rate is high in his beloved hometown.

If you want to make P.C. anti-Columbus whackjobs even crazier, show them Malcolm X’s autobiography, written with Alex Haley (Roots)

Ol’ X, back in the early 1960s, when Columbus was regarded as a hero, claimed he was actually a black man.

I suggested to one libtard that, if that’s the case since the great X had spoken, they should go to Harlem and protest the genocidal black man, Columbus.
