Even by the dismal standards of the 1400s, Christopher Columbus was a terrible human being.
So why does California continue to honor him with his own holiday when other states have already replaced it with Indigenous Peoples’ Day? A brief review of the terrors he unleashed reveals why it’s time to make Columbus Day a relic of the past.

No. The reason why they hate Columbus is that he brought Christianity to America.
... or the Apaches who staked their victims in the desert and sliced off their eyelids so they would be unprotected against the burning sun.
No offense there SacBee, but Californians are ditching California.
Murder, rape, slavery and genocide were committed by one tribe or another over the course of time — this is the “weeping Indian” all over again.
Love him or hate him, Columbus and his discovery changed the world as few humans have. The people living in the Americas were doomed the moment he got back to Europe and spread the news. It wasn’t necessarily sinister, but stone age people living on desirable and accessible land have to make way for people with superior technology. It has always been thus.
And the Indians/Indigenous People were doomed even had Columbus never lived. In 1500 Pedro Cabral, on his way to India (Columbus’s real goal) was blown by a storm to Brazil. So the same bad things would have happened to the Indians less than a decade later.
I think this whole ‘Indigenous Peoples Day’ is just another white people: bad; ‘people of color’: good
Well, SB’s, the world hasn’t always been blessed with generations so enlightened, and pure of heart, mind, body, and spirit as the ones walking the earth today.
A paradise before the White Man came! A PARADISE it was!

I’m surprised they didn’t want to change their independence from July 4 to January 12 when they officially defeated Mexico for their separation from them. And then all that’s left to do is declare that their choosing to join the union was a drunken indiscretion while consuming wine from Napa. Besides, they are re-joining Mexico as fast as they can get voters across the southern border, anyway. Cut off their funds and services and see if they can be their own sanctuary state.

It is mentioned that Columbus’ men found a Carib(Cannibal) camp in which pregnant Arawak Indian women were kept in cages.
The Caribs had a sweet tooth for new born roast baby.
Such is the culture the Libs celebrate today. Bet they wish they could eat today’s newborns. I do believe it has been mentioned recently.
They sacrificed people(post-birth abortions) in order to change the weather.
I suppose the left just wants to honor their ancestors.
I believe nothing, and question everything coming from liberal media. True or not.
...Oops—never mind...
Judge: "Utes?"
Homo Sapiens genocided the Neanderthals.
All humans are guilty, guilty, guilty.
There are _no_ clean hands.
I want the swine at the Sac Bee to lead the way on making things right. They can start by turning their paper over to an “indigenous” peoples’ company, then sell their belongings and give the proceeds to the first “indigenous” person they can find; then move to a preserve in the woods.
How can they say that? Columbus was homeless!
Murder, rape, slavery and genocide sounds like some of the illegals in California,must be why they find so many bodies in parks and on freeways.
