And here is more lunacy: Abolish Columbus Day and Change it to Native American Day
Didn’t they already make it “Explorers Day” or something?
What an insult to the Great Quan, and the Roman Army! And the idiot, if he wants to be specific and correct, should be pushing for “Indigenous Aborigine Day”.
Indigenous American Day ... that’s got a real ring to it, huh? Should catch on in no time. A little like that ‘happy holiday’ thing, or maybe ‘kwanza.’
Prolly gonna be one of those time-and-a-half holiday thingies. Happy Indigenous American Day!
Yes, “Native American Day’’. The Happy Children of the Forest. The happy children of the forest who waged war against each other, made slaves of each other, indulged in human sacrifice , raped the environment , burnt out, hunted out, crapped out and generally made a mess of just about everything and anything they came in contact with and all of this long before Columbus or any other European showed up.
“Ice Pick Slim”....Is that a description of his manhood?
“...how the slave-makers took Indigenous children, bury them up to their neck in dirt, then run up and kick their heads off for sport.”
Are these guys for real? I’ve never heard of such a thing, nor seen it tried. But I’m fairly certain that such a thing could NOT be possible. -kick the head off of a human body?
okay...
Documentation, please.
Happy Columbus Day everyone!
Christopher Columbus discovered the continent where they hadn’t invented the wheel yet in 1492.
However, their lack of technology did not prevent them warring among themselves, practicing genocide (Iroquois, Mahegan), slavery (Choctaws, Chickasaws) and cannibalism (Navajo, Anasazi).
It also did not stop most native Americans tribes to side with the British during the American Revolution (rather ironic - isn't it?.
I wonder, will Indians ever pay for the massacre of "rebel" settlements during the War of Independence? Will they ever apologize for fighting against the Independence of America even as they use the freedoms and liberties in America to their own advantages?
Let's look at the history from a broader scope:
1675 - 1676 -- King Philip's War -- The Indians burned down/destroyed twelve of ninety Puritan towns and attacked forty others (including Providence). A larger percentage of the American population was killed in this war than in any other American war. Even though the Indians burned down whole villages and slaughtered the inhabitants, they lost the war.
1750's -- French-Indian War -- Most Indian Tribes sided with the French against the British. They committed atrocities and they also lost the war.
1770's -- American Revolution -- Most Indians Tribes sided with the British and fought the American Rebels. They committed atrocities and they also lost the war.
1812 -- War of 1812 -- The Indians Tribes again sided with the British. And again they committed atrocities and again they also lost the war.
This is what the communusts in the schools are teaching your children.

Happy Columbus Day!!!!
Christophoros Columbus was an Orthodox Christian Greek from Chios:

And he was a hero, NOT a mass murderer!!!!
Doesn’t the moonbat author of this dumb-dumb screed know that Mexicans and Mexican-Americans celebrate Columbus Day (which is really October 12) as Dia de la Raza, the origin of the Mexican people? And doesn’t he/she know that Europeans knew that the world was round since the days of the ancient Greeks?
I guess not. When one’s head is full of ideological mush, there is no room left for new facts and new ideas!
Albert Einstein puts him to shame. But let’s not forget the contributions of Alfred Nobel.
I don’t think Pizzaro will like this.
The remarkable thing is that the Viking contacts apparently didn't cause mass deaths. Perhaps the Vikings were too few, and landed in relatively lightly populated areas.
This statement is so ignorant that it could only be uttered by a college graduate.
Wow! Columbus was a member of the Klu Klux Klan 372 years before it was founded?
Ah.. no. Actually, the person responsible for the most deaths in human history, (and the number is still growing) is.....Rachel Carson.
Back in 1992 or 1993 a young single woman, withour company, was working with the scouts.
I just happened to see the literature she was using. It was all to discredit Christopher Columbus. It was just a bunch wild accusations, without any historic facts or figures.
At the same time I had just recieved literature proclaiming Columbus to be a very godly man. He was quoted in a letter he wrote the Queen: “There are many souls here that could be added to our Lord and Saviour’s kingdom.”
Now I am over 77 years old; attended public schools, and through college, and never before even heard a hint of how bad Columbus was.
It seemed to me this young woman could not do much damage to the present, she is one of many that would rewrite, and destroy our nations past.
As we are well aware that there are those that build; and there are those that destroy!
