Old Columbus was a busy man.
BS
Ping.
Always look at what they don’t say. The real reason why they hate Columbus is that he brought Christianity to scalping savages.
This is the kind of thing that happens when they let Howard Zinn edit your school’s history books.
F’ing clowns on parade.
I remember when Italians like my grandmother weren’t considered white. Seems we’ve arrived just in time to to be found responsible for all the evils in the world.
This will make things a little tricky for the District of Columbia.

And before that, Indigenous People enslaved, colonized, mutilated, and massacred thousands of other Indigenous People in the Americas.
So perhaps the holiday should be named ‘Nobody Was Nice Back Then Day’.
Indigenous people who did nothing that day except their usual running around naked chasing wild pigs with rocks and sticks.
My ancestry is Scots/Irish and Tsalagi (look it up)...
It means nothing to call it “Indigenous Peoples’ Day”...Too damn PC worded...
DC must also change its name,
and will, if it is honest, become
the “DISTRICT OF THE SWAMP AND CRIMINAL ILLEGALS”.
District.of.columbia.
Maybe they should move to a better land where no aboriginies were ever harmed...and unicorns slide down glittery rainbows. Germany?
OK, group hug! [/sarc]
What did the Indigenous Peoples back then do to get a Day ?
Or as Chief Grey Beaver calls it: “Celebration of High Cheek Bones”
“Columbus enslaved, colonized, mutilated, and massacred thousands of Indigenous People in the Americas.”
So did the Aztecs.
/eyeroll
Why don’t they go ahead and rename DC to Anal Discharge (AD) while they’re at it?
Commemorating the indigenous cannibals who poxed the Spanish explorers.
What are they going to do with that monument where he first set foot on what’s now the US? Oh, wait, he never sat foot in the US. We might as well do away with this holiday based on a lie.
And their Revolution continues, mostly unopposed.
