They could call it get drunk on firewater from government money and slap your wife day.
It started with some dirty, filthy academics who deliberately spread some inflammatory rumors about Columbus a few decades ago. They’re all unsubstantiated lies, but they have been given legitimacy because a professor said it. These radical academics are no different from arsonists. They enjoy the destruction they cause.
I can't wait for "Menstruating Persons Day" next May. Or is it "Birthing Persons Day"?
meanwhile the PR parade in NY honored an Puerto Rican FALN terrorist just three years ago:

Better than cannibalism I suppose
True...
Why doesn’t this idiot Rep. Nydia Velázquez complain to the Spanish Government? since they were responsible for the voyages of Christopher Columbus to the New World.
If Columbus did anything he probably prevented the “Indigenous Peoples” from preying on other weak “Indigenous Peoples”. Such is the way life has gone on for millennia
Nydia Velasquez?? Is that some kind of Taino name ? What language does she speak. I’ve heard her and it aint English. On a serious note does this woman fail to remember that NYC ALWAYS had TWO Columbus Parades. The Italian one on Oct 12 or the Monday of celebration and the Hispanic one on the following Saturday. I think she may have marched in a few when she first ran for Congress 30 years ago
Hey Nydia Velázquez:
LET’S GO BRANDON!!!
Columbus sailed under the Spanish flag. Maybe Velázquez might want to re-think his position in regard to how the Conquistadors treated some of the natives.
Lol. but Incas and Aztecs weren’t? ROTFL.
He should talk. HIS namesake, Diego Velázquez de Cuéllar was a LOT worse than Columbus. So before he calls for Columbus to be disavowed, he should at least change his OWN family name.

The first people Columbus encountered in the Americas were Indians fleeing other Indians who had enslaved and conquered them.
He armed the slaves to protect them against their oppressors.
That said, I could see how helping slaves would offend Democrats. Democrats, do, historically side with slavers.
how dumb do they have to be to sit in Congress?
No limit!
Just smart enough to take all the bribe$
According to the left, the missionaries were evil, too, for forcing the “white man’s religion” on the natives.
Re: “Indigenous People’s Day.” There are no American indigenous people. Every person that’s ever lived anywhere in the Americas either came from another continent or is the descendent of someone who did. Truth matters.
The people that hate Columbus say they love immigrants, but the truth is, they only hate white immigrants.
