I’d like to point out the atrocities the indigenous peoples carried out against each other.

Silliness.
Indians lost, they were an inferior culture.

Now, if they want to talk about the continuing mistreatment of Indians by the US government, they have a legitmate point. The US government has implemented a form of socialism on the Indians that has left many of them in a stupor of poverty and addiction.

Look to the Indian reservations for an insight into the future of America’s general population.

I’m surprised their PC hasn’t worked around to their own name ,Brown, as the family was in the slave trade, among a lot of other enterprises,see “Sons of Providence.”

... the university abandon its recognition of Columbus Day.

Christopher doesn't mind any longer. I'm getting over it. I'm sure you will, too.

The whole Indian argument against Columbus Day is silly. Of course Columbus Day is silly anyway, he wasn’t first by a lot and people actually did know the world was round. It’s never really been a holiday anywhere I’ve lived, I don’t think I’ve ever gotten the day off work or school without illness being involved.

Several weeks ago the Brown University faculty ratified a student petition demanding that the university abandon its recognition of Columbus Day. The directive was enacted by Brown’s Native American student group, whose spokesmen defend their activism by pointing out the atrocities committed by Christopher Columbus and his men upon the indigenous people of the newly discovered continent.

Another scalp for the lodgepole of political grievancy....

Some have suggested that the holiday be renamed Indigenous Day

It would be more appropriate to call it "Indignant Day," and then it could be a catch-all holiday for liberals.

So when we completely destroy America...then what?

Screw everyone of these egalitarian proponents. This will never stop and we will all NEVER be equal.
