As an American of Italian Ancestry I must ask the question, why do the People of Columbus Ohio hate me?
Where do I go to get my Ancestry back?
Political correctness run amok. Next they will demand we stop celebrating 4th of July and Thanksgiving and Christmas.
‘io’s capital city, population 860,000, will be open for business Monday after observing Columbus Day probably “for as long as it had been in existence”’

Democratic Mayor Andrew Ginther . . . That says a lot. Neither he nor any of his politically correct jackasses would have even one ounce of the guts it took to get on those small ships and sail across an unknown body of water. What a bunch of chicken$hit morons!
[The largest city named for Christopher Columbus has called off its observance of the divisive holiday that honors the explorer,]
“Divisive” for the lunatic left that is.
So the Niña, Pinta, or Santa Maria, never landed near the shores of the United States?
Hispanics, many the offspring of the Spaniards, are heralded with a reference just short of a group canonized by God, but another Spaniard who came to our shores, is now stricken from history as an evil man?
Columbus should change it’s name. I don’t think he’d want it disgraced by the city.
Change the name of the city, hypocrites! How about Indigenous Peoples’ $hithole?
They hate Columbus because he brought Christianity to the continent.
“Indigenous Peoples Day”
How racist is that? It ignores the accomplishments of the aliens who originally brought us humans here. The name is a sure case of anti alienism. Discriminate much?
"That includes a peaceful protest of prayers, speeches and traditional singing in 2016 at Columbus City Hall..."
Wow. Those reasons sound really subversive to me (Sarc)
Matt Walsh:The only thing you can do with someone who accuses Columbus of “bringing” slavery and genocide to the New World is laugh at them. Slavery and mass ritualistic, sometimes cannibalistic, slaughters were commonplace among Indian tribes way before Columbus showed up.
Also in the article: “...Veterans Day, which falls on Nov. 12 this year...”
Dear ColumDumbass,
Veterans’ Day is Armistice Day, renamed to celebrate all Veterans.
Armistice Day celebrates the Armistice that ended WWI. It happened “the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month” in 1918.
It does NOT fall on November 12, never has, never will.
How long till they change the name of the city?
If Europeans had not come to the new world, would the Aztecs still be sacrificing humans on top of their pyramids? Imagine Mexico City with a blood covered pyramid in 2018, with the Liberals claiming that all cultures are equal.
My husband tried using the Italian card to take today off. Did not work......
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.
There will come a day when violence will force the capital city of Ohio to change its name
Just rename the town Indigenous People, Ohio.
