No Columbus Day in Columbus, Ohio: What the city is doing instead

For Hispanics, it's Dia de la Raza--day of the race. A large proportion of Latin Americans are of mixed European and indigenous ancestry--so they would not be alive if Europeans had not come to the New World.

If Columbus' name is now bad, what about the name America? Amerigo Vespucci was also a white European from Italy.

Don’t laugh. To the moonbats,

The American war for independence was led by slaveowning white males against the British who were already dismantling slavery in their own land. So no 4th of July.

Thanksgiving commemorates the arrival of white Christians on Indian territory in 1620, and genocidal war against native peoples commenced before the last turkey drumstick was eaten.

And Christmas!!? Offensive to secular people! Should be replaced by Winter Solstice day.

Yeah, there are lots of crazies who believe that &%#!

Is that ol’ John Kasich behind this?

[elcid1970]

Did he make his boss an offer he couldn’t refuse?

(sorry)

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

And if Columbus had never “sailed the ocean blue,” we would be celebrating Pedro Álvares Cabral day as he discovered Brazil on April 22, 1500.

I was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio. This is just so sad.

[doug from upland]

There will come a day when violence will force the capital city of Ohio to change its name

[leaning conservative]

Ha! His boss is roughing it in Greece!

[P-Marlowe]

Just rename the town Indigenous People, Ohio.

And if Columbus had sailed a year later the poem would be “sailed the boundless sea.”

;^)

[Theodore R.]

Wonder what they will do in Columbus, GA?

[elcid1970]

Outside of Atlanta, most of Georgia is very un-PC.

I'm sure Governor John Kasich will be along soon to take the first sledgehammer shot to some statues of Columbus pulled down by rioters .
