The Los Angeles City Council voted on Wednesday to replace the Columbus Day holiday in October with Indigenous Peoples Day...

Supporters of the plan argued that Christopher Columbus' connection to brutality and slavery makes him no longer worthy of celebration...

a European conceit that Columbus discovered something.

I understand your point, but the fact is, virtually the entire world was effected by Columbus’s discovery (with the help of the printing press) while the Vikings’, not so much. Very few human endeavors have made such a world-wide impact. That said, had Columbus never lived, the Portuguese would discover America by accident eight years later.

Because native Americans owned slaves and joined the confederacy. That’s a fact Jack. Time to shut down some fireworks stands and casinos. Utter horseshit imo

How about Corpus Christi, Texas? That name ought to offend liberals to no end. Probably does not because they don’t know what it means.

Give me a break
Anyone descended from a mixture of Aztecs and conquistadors has no room to complain about slavery or brutality

Want to watch a Leftists’ head explode?

“Indigenous? Don’t you know, we *all* came from the ‘cradle of civilization’? So, even the American Indians are immigrants...

[Yaelle]

You’ve nailed something. Ha ha. Indigenous DOESNT MEAN SPANISH, Spanish is the White Evil European Language. The illegals and latinos who hate whites better start speaking tongva or chumash right quick.

The “Native Americans” invaded from Mongolia.

[Logical me]

Los Angeles is totally Mexican and the rest are hard core communists that want to destroy everything they can.

Idiots will never understand Discovery.

It was a Discovery of a new land not corrupted by the old world. The Founders knew what they had and worked tirelessly to create the New World.

Now we have the LA Council and Antifa.

“Next, change Presidents Day to Cracka Slave Owner Day.”

Don’t know why, but that struck me as extremely funny.

Apparently slavery is okay as long as the indigenous people are the slavers.

The “Native Americans” invaded from Mongolia.

Our Native American ancestors walked over from northern Siberia. Genetically, the Yakut people. So we're Rooskies.

The triggered snowflakes may want to rethink this -- HEY! how about "Precious Snowflake Day"?

How many calendars are there in Los Angeles? They are all printed wrong.

I don’t think a single member of the LA City Council can pass a 51-50 test.

[alloysteel]

Did LA ever have indigenous people?

Did any of them ever come into contact with Columbus?

[Nuocmam]

LA and the horse they rode in on can just drop into the Pacific along with a large part of the state.

Recently, Columbus has been put at the same level as the KKK by left tards. It’s astounding.

Self-loathing is not healthy.
