Which tribes. They were constantly killing and enslaving each other.

How long do you have to squat in Austin before you become indigenous?

Of course they did. They have to virtue signal that they oppose Columbus day.

This land was a Paradise before White man came and screwed it up. That’s why everyone wants to come here now

Native Americans today are just the last survivors of whoever in turn were killed off by them. Same with any other race or culture.

“Same with any other race or culture.”

Muslims are 100% gunning for Whitey. I’ll give it one more generation. Glad I’ll be dead.

Who isn’t gunning for whitey? The question is whether or not they’re willing to just give up and let themselves be slaughtered.

Stopped to make a deposit at the bank, today. They had a sign up saying they would be closed on, Indigenous Peoples’ Day next Monday.

So, the cancer is everywhere - even in Cow Town, USA. :(

Is A.O.Cortez making amends for the actions of her ancestors?

The ancestors of these called indigenous people arrived here about 13,000 years ago so they aren’t native at all, they just got here a little earlier.

The indigenous people of Sweden are mistreated by that government on behalf of foreign funded imperialists who rape and plunder.

My local city council has opted to rename “Columbus Day” “Indigenous People’s Day.”

As Clint would say, “how stylish.”

I’ll admit I never much give a rip about Columbus Day. Until now.

Not only will I plan to have a Columbus Day barbecue, I intend to wish everyone a I see a Happy Columbus Day.

Simply because I’m fed up.

Probably a snowballs chance you know where but it would be nice if New York started a Ellis Island Immigrants Day. A day to honor legal immigrants from all over Europe who came through Ellis Island and helped build our country. Included all 4 of my grandparents. They have the records.

I lived in Lewisville,north of Dallas from 83-84. Boy Dallas sure had changed since then. Actually the whole country has changed. And NOT for the better.

This makes me furious. The liberal city council made this decision out of the blue. Should have been put to a vote by the taxpayers of Dallas.

Too bad there aren’t any Neanderthals left to have their day celebrated.

Homo Sapiens genocided them.

The Dallas City Council has no shame!
