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?

Columbus was the first undocumented Hispanic migrant. What is the problem the left is having?

Every body gets a star. No need to respect greatness because we are all great.

The radical Left wants all Civ to go.

Bastards! They used a made-up media story about Trump to justify what they have been wanting to do for a long time. I hate the left because they hate this country.

F*ck them. They blame Columbus for bringing disease to the continent, but deliberately and intentionally refuse to admit the truth that today’s new arrivals are bringing disease to the USA!

So, let’s see:

Indigenous people are automatically more virtuous than anyone else. They never do (or did) anything wrong. They are more in touch with nature and, therefore, wiser. They have the right to reclaim their land from invaders. They also have the right to go anywhere and colonize (especially in Europe and North America).

Only White people cannot be indigenous people. Not even in Europe.

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


At this rate, I’m guessing Mexico will get it back in the next 50 years. At least the southern half.

With all the argumentative back and forth, not to mention all the govt workers who receive a FREE day off with pay...(costing Millions) perhaps it is time to toss them all and stick to a National Memorial Day, a National Independence Day, and a National Veterans/Police/Fire Brigade day.

Change the appropriateness of those recognized days to one befitting the appropriateness of the occasion. Order a stand down of all media programming.

These are, after all, and should remain, days of remembrance.

That may not be true. There was a recent discovery of bones in New Mexico I believe, that predated the land bridge from Asia. However, the Asians displaced that group eventually, just as the Spaniards displaced the Aztecs millennia later.

The use of the phrase “civil rights” has become a dog whistle for anything that is anti-white.

They were very good at basket-weaving, for what that’s worth.

Then right after they do that the liberal anti-Americans will demand the end to all team names like Indians and Warriors and so on so that in twenty years ALL vestige of the American Indian are wiped out with the help of a few corrupt Indians.
