PORTSMOUTH, N.H. — Sen. Kamala Harris told a crowd Monday that she would push for the federal government to rename Columbus Day “Indigenous Peoples’ Day," a focal point for some progressives who say the holiday should emphasize the history of Native Americans instead of the European conquerer.

“Sign me up,” Harris said in response to a voter's question of whether she would support the initiative to rename the holiday. She spoke of her own efforts in the Senate to make lynching a federal crime.

There are already “Kamala Harris for the People” signs in certain downtown Oakland businesses.

Makes knowing which ones to boycott, a BIT easier.

What a hero. You can count on no hands the number of lynchings in modern America, but she feels plenty good about herself now.

Of course she does. She’s a freeloading foreign newbie who is new to America and doesn’t like or know anything about America or American history. She’s not one of us so she hates our history. Funny she hasn’t attacked Amerigo Vespucci yet. She probably never heard of him. She needs to go home to Jamaica and pedal rum along the beaches to the tourists.

I’m Italian too, and been hearing this crap for many, many years. Look, they were savages that needed to be civilized s/

You know the joke about why the Natives lost to the white man..they were busy visiting ‘the spirit world’ (puff the magic dragon)

Let’s change MLK day to Sitting Bull day.

Sitting bull is much more interesting than MLK. Plus it will save us from blackface and allow us to wear warpaint.

Kids will love it. And if blacks object, scream “RACISM!!!!”

Kommiela has no limit to anti American and anti tradition plans. These people are truly a clear and present danger to everything that’s good.

We should have; because without exogenous - or so-called ‘White People’ - coming here and making good use of this land, Miz Harris probably couldn’t fly around in airplanes, use telephones, or have effective pharmaceuticals - all of which I suspect she has used throughout her ungrateful and willfully ignorant life...

What exactly did the indigenous people accomplish that we need to celebrate?

Isn’t there a Martin Luther King Day? It could be changed to Cheating Pimp Race Hustler’s Day.

I have about as much interest in anything this racist skank says as I do watching a dog relieve itself.

In the anti-lynching bill recently passed by the supposedly Republican majority Senate was slipped in at the last minute clauses that make LGBT claimants a federally protected class. Federal (supreme?) court recently turned down gender identification as a protected class but I guess it will be now. This happened during the early days of the recent Jussie hoax when he accused white men wearing MAGA hats and Kamala jumped on the attack white-male-Trump-supporter bandwagon.

Looks like it may not be a coincidence that Jussie Smollett “survived an attempted lynching” just after this was introduced — he was seen campaigning for her — she needed the publicity to gain support for her anti-lynching bill.

And anti-Hispanic, as well as anti-woman. Queen Isabella of Spain was instrumental, if not key, in bankrolling Columbus’ exploration of the New World.

What did Injuns ever do to advance themselves, except perhaps some, even lately?
