Replacing Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples Day is a long overdue victory for civil rights
Los Angeles Times ^ | 9-01-17 | Robin Abcarian

Twenty five years ago, ahead of its time as usual, the city of Berkeley renamed Columbus Day as Indigenous Peoples Day.

Los Angeles, what took you so long?

Native Americans included Aztecs, who were really nice people with their cannibalism and human sacrifices. Then there are the Cherokees who harbored slaves. Gee, every group has their scruples, just a question which one chooses to ignore.

All of the Spanish names have to go, the Spanish conquistadors were bad Europeans and slave owning racists.

The Spanish imperialists regarded all native peoples as heathen savages and sought to convert them to Roman Catholicism by any means necessary. The 1513 El Requerimiento drafted for King Ferdinand declares that the Pope rules all people. So convert or else the Spanish, with the help of God, will use force against you, “declaring war” by all possible means, and “enslave your persons, wives, and sons,” as the King sees fit.

Spanish Requirement of 1513

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

The Spanish Requirement of 1513 (Requerimiento) was a declaration by the Spanish monarchy, written by the Council of Castile jurist Juan López de Palacios Rubios, of Castile’s divinely ordained right to take possession of the territories of the New World and to subjugate, exploit and, when necessary, to fight the native inhabitants.

The Requerimiento (Spanish for “requirement” as in “demand”) was read in Castilian[citation needed] to Native Americans to inform them of Spain’s rights to conquest. Those who subsequently resisted conquest were considered to harbor evil intentions.[citation needed] The Spaniards thus considered those who resisted as defying God’s plan, and so used Catholic theology to justify their conquest.

So no more San Diego, San Clemente, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, San Jose, San Carlos, San Francisco, San Mateo and Sacramento!

Robin Abcarian is a Far-Left idiot. She used to be on Talk Radio in LA, but nobody ever listened to her.

Isn’t the stealing of California the biggest sin against liberalism? They should give the state back to Mexico and the Indians.

The left is working hard on branding any legitimate criticism of hopelessly dumb people as “racist” or “sexist” because hopelessly dumb people are all they have left.

Isn’t Columbus day kinda made up. I seem to recall if coming into existence when I was a kid. I have never understood it oh well off to my big Columbus day party. Seriously nothing against Chris but this makes more sense in Spain or Cuba. Are indigenous peoples like Indians or the people they displaced. Oh yeah the Mongolian decendant Indians weren’t the first one here.

Can I wear my Redskins jersey, my Braves hat, and my Indians belt buckle to the Indigenous People’s parade? Or do I have to get permission from all the White people who are running it?

Queen Isabella I’s main Accomplishment:

Isabella was the sponsor for Christopher Columbus and his voyages of discovery into the New World. As was done at the time, all new lands that he discovered were claimed for Castile/Spain. (Not italy, France or England!)

After Columbus discovered the new world, the King and Queen of Spain did this:

Concerned that Spain ensure control of the natives in the newly conquered Americas, the “Reyes Católicos”, Ferdinand and Isabella, consulted theologians and jurists for religious and legal justification of Spain’s conquests. The treatment of the Native Americans was at first rationalized on the grounds that they were cannibals; any means of subjugation were acceptable.. In 1500, the king and queen again sought advice; the Native Americans were declared to be “free vassals”. Despite their elevated status, the Native Americans remained subject to conquest in “just wars”.

The Spanish imperialists regarded all native peoples as heathen savages and sought to convert them to Roman Catholicism by any means necessary. The 1513 El Requerimiento drafted for King Ferdinand declares that the Pope rules all people. So convert or else, the Spanish, with the help of God, will use force against you, “declaring war” by all possible means, and “enslave your persons, wives, and sons,” as the King sees fit.

We should remove all Spanish signs and names throughout America!:

1. We should immediately make it a crime to speak/use Spanish in America. Spanish is the language of the evil racist and slave owning Spanish conquistadores and rulers
2. Then, all of the Spanish names in America have to go.
4. There should be no more San Diego, San Clemente, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, San Jose, San Carlos, San Francisco, San Mateo. San Antonio, San Anselmo, St Augustine, and Sacramento in America. These evil Spanish named cities must be renamed without the evil Spanish Racist Slave Owner Spanish words!
5. All elected officials in America with Hispanic surnames, should resign immediately and apologize for their evil racist and slave owner Spanish ancestors.
6. All Hispanic mediots on ABCNNBCBS and Faux should resign and move to Spain or Mexico.

Evil white males invented the printing press, electricity, and computers.

The LA Times needs to shut down immediately and forever to display their virtue!

Otherwise they are slimy hypocrites.

Who has these so called ‘civil rights’?

‘Civil-rights’ = anti-West, anti-white

If we’re going to change Columbus Day to anything it should be Woolly Mammoth Day to honor that magnificent creature which was driven to extinction by those indigenous savages. Stop glorifying them. Do you know how good a Woolly Mammoth hamburger would be right about now? We could be enjoying it today if not for them.

Stories like this hearten me that Trump will be a two-term president. If you think the left is insane now, wait until this becomes a reality.

Why rename the Holiday? Why don’t we make it a regular work day instead?

Why is California honoring slavers? They should be burned at the stake.
