I am okay with celebrating indigenous peoples. I have a few drops of indigenous blood myself. I am not okay with self-loathing Americans. Doing away with Columbus Day is just a slam against Americans of European descent and the planting of Western civilization here. I will own up to the troubles that caused for the natives here. I will not accept the implication that America is one big, long crime of the white man. Can we have an indigenous peoples day and a Columbus Day, or would that be too honest for leftist fascists?

[Proud2BeRight]

That should be displaced by the Hopewell People Day.

That's why I posted the Lone Ranger Cartoon - it's nearly 50 years old, from Mad Magazine. Back then it was a joke, today, totally different meaning ...

I prefer to celebrate "Joyful Brutal Oppression and Happy Conquering Genocide of Native People" day.

It's my favorite holiday.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Ah yes! Those wonderful Indigenous peoples who lived in a paradise before the evil white man came.

I'd just like to give them back the country so we could re-conquer and re-oppress them all over again.

You think the LAST Trail of Tears was rough. Wait till you see what *I* got planned.

Hey, don’t laugh! I love those survival shows. ;^)

[napscoordinator]

As long as it is still a day off. I don’t care.

[P-Marlowe]

"This would be a day to celebrate our survival as a culturally distinct people despite 500 years of disease, warfare, massacre, displacement and forced assimilation.

That is the history of all peoples throughout the world.

I've never cared for parades, but I would be willing to fly to Minneapolis to attend a rousing Columbus Day Parade.

Who wants the government involved anyhow? Let the good patriots up there find a way to make this day a spectacular celebration.

I was in Newark,N.J. in 1940. Am I an indigenous people?

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

Reconquer us from the self-loathers who have political power and that might do the trick right there.

I was in Newark,N.J. in 1940. Am I an indigenous people?

I believe Newark was officially uninvited from the Union somewhere around 1934.

[informavoracious]

Yes! The hypocrites should give their homes, jobs, savings to Native Americans in atonement and return to whence their forefathers came. Except now they will be illegal immigrants to their ancestral country!

[a fool in paradise]

How how do you celebrate Indigenous People? What did they accomplish?

Indigenous people are overrated. That's what I hear when the locals in England complain about the influx of Africans, muslims, and Eastern Europeans who don't assimilate.

Riiiight...yeah, we all talk like characters from “Fargo.”
