And here is more lunacy: Abolish Columbus Day and Change it to Native American Day
Didn’t they already make it “Explorers Day” or something?
What an insult to the Great Quan, and the Roman Army! And the idiot, if he wants to be specific and correct, should be pushing for “Indigenous Aborigine Day”.
Indigenous American Day ... that’s got a real ring to it, huh? Should catch on in no time. A little like that ‘happy holiday’ thing, or maybe ‘kwanza.’
Prolly gonna be one of those time-and-a-half holiday thingies. Happy Indigenous American Day!
Yes, “Native American Day’’. The Happy Children of the Forest. The happy children of the forest who waged war against each other, made slaves of each other, indulged in human sacrifice , raped the environment , burnt out, hunted out, crapped out and generally made a mess of just about everything and anything they came in contact with and all of this long before Columbus or any other European showed up.
“Ice Pick Slim”....Is that a description of his manhood?
“...how the slave-makers took Indigenous children, bury them up to their neck in dirt, then run up and kick their heads off for sport.”
Are these guys for real? I’ve never heard of such a thing, nor seen it tried. But I’m fairly certain that such a thing could NOT be possible. -kick the head off of a human body?
okay...
Documentation, please.
Happy Columbus Day everyone!
Christopher Columbus discovered the continent where they hadn’t invented the wheel yet in 1492.
However, their lack of technology did not prevent them warring among themselves, practicing genocide (Iroquois, Mahegan), slavery (Choctaws, Chickasaws) and cannibalism (Navajo, Anasazi).
It also did not stop most native Americans tribes to side with the British during the American Revolution (rather ironic - isn't it?.
I wonder, will Indians ever pay for the massacre of "rebel" settlements during the War of Independence? Will they ever apologize for fighting against the Independence of America even as they use the freedoms and liberties in America to their own advantages?
Let's look at the history from a broader scope:
1675 - 1676 -- King Philip's War -- The Indians burned down/destroyed twelve of ninety Puritan towns and attacked forty others (including Providence). A larger percentage of the American population was killed in this war than in any other American war. Even though the Indians burned down whole villages and slaughtered the inhabitants, they lost the war.
1750's -- French-Indian War -- Most Indian Tribes sided with the French against the British. They committed atrocities and they also lost the war.
1770's -- American Revolution -- Most Indians Tribes sided with the British and fought the American Rebels. They committed atrocities and they also lost the war.
1812 -- War of 1812 -- The Indians Tribes again sided with the British. And again they committed atrocities and again they also lost the war.
This is what the communusts in the schools are teaching your children.

Happy Columbus Day!!!!
Christophoros Columbus was an Orthodox Christian Greek from Chios:

And he was a hero, NOT a mass murderer!!!!
Doesn’t the moonbat author of this dumb-dumb screed know that Mexicans and Mexican-Americans celebrate Columbus Day (which is really October 12) as Dia de la Raza, the origin of the Mexican people? And doesn’t he/she know that Europeans knew that the world was round since the days of the ancient Greeks?
I guess not. When one’s head is full of ideological mush, there is no room left for new facts and new ideas!
Is that from some source, or just from your general knowledge?
I bet that the same loons are silent on the real [Arab] slavery today...
Albert Einstein puts him to shame. But let’s not forget the contributions of Alfred Nobel.
I don’t think Pizzaro will like this.
It can be as polite as "They do not love their children like we do" and run all the way up to horses, or men, kicking the heads of human victims ~ usually children but sometimes warriors, but usually never about women. None of the old timers got real attached to women since they were always dying in childbirth.
One analyst determined that in all of the 16th century there were never enough Spaniards in Latin America to have even begun to approach the death rate. If you lined up all the Spaniards and gave them the best swords, sharpened to perfection, and you began marching the Indians up against the Spaniards, the Spaniards would have died of old age before they managed to kill all the Indians they are supposed to have killed.
Not to say the Great Die Off didn't happen, but it was a virus ~ hanta virus ~ that regularly ravages the Americas. It comes back sometimes after a long drought. The rains return. The grass grows. The rodents expand their populations. They spread hanta to the people and the twenty somethings die like flies.
The remarkable thing is that the Viking contacts apparently didn't cause mass deaths. Perhaps the Vikings were too few, and landed in relatively lightly populated areas.
