These welfare cases already have “Indian Summer”...what else do they want???
WTF did indians do except get in the way. tough luck.
Italians have done a lot and we really enjoyed that holiday and the parades.
this ####ing country is getting me sick.
The current “Indigenous peple” killed off the previous “indigenous people” so that should be the focus of the celebration.
They don’t understand why Columbus day is being celebrated.
It’s about courage, forging into the unknown, the intrepid warrior, explorer, scientist, etc.
“Indigenous people” isn’t the parallel....Turn it into “Land on the Moon” Day. That’s an exact parallel.
IOW this is a microagression attack on the itallian sailor immigrants.
what a farce!
truly, ‘we live in an era of smart phones and stupid people..”
Instead of Cowboys and Indians, children will now be required to play Bovine Abusers and Indigenous People.
Nothing like cultural suicide to make things better...
To celebrate, they’ll raid and loot nearby villages, take slaves and rip their hearts out of their still beating chests.
Kind of ironic; in the old western movies depicting hundreds of Indians attacking on horseback, that most of them were Sicilian extras.
It isn’t Indians making these PC changes, it’s whitebread liberals.
Since observing Columbus Day is politically incorrect, that’s exactly what I do.
And of course, many of them never took the lands of the people they conquered/slaughtered.
Nah..never happened with those "indigenous" people. /s
probably because they were dark.
we’ve gotten lighter through the generations lol. Is that possible?
why doesn’t anyone who feels so bad living on land “stolen” frmo the indians, sell everything and give it to indians.
hypocrites.
Reminds me of that Sopranos episode about Columbus Day.
I hope you’re kidding about the Indians.
Idiocy runs pretty deep in liberal circles.....
Indigioness people? Aren’t they from the Australian Outback?
Stone age savages day. BTW, Columbus never reached the North American continent.
Give it back to the Indians then you pathetic hypocritical maggots.
