Nonsense

Erasing history

[I want the USA back]

They changed Columbus Day to indigenous peoples’ day, and no one said anything. This is the logical progression. In a few years they will be attacking national holidays, such as Independence Day.

Presidents’ Day, Memorial Day, Veterans’ Day, Flag Day will all be trashed eventually, and replaced with things like barack obama day, nelson mandela day, gay day, m*slim day, trans day, peanut allergy day, reparations day, etc. Check back in 25 years to see if I was right.

That holiday will commemorate the day U.S. troops officially emancipated slaves in Charlottesville shortly before the end of the Civil War. (NBC 29 falsely reported that this event happened "following the end of the Civil War," yet the Union occupation of Charlottesville began on March 3, 1865, before the April 9 surrender at Appomattox, the May 9 Union declaration of victory, and the last Confederate surrender on June 23.)

Translation: "We prefer to celebrate by commemorating the day we were conquered".

replace Martin Luther King Day with Thomas Jefferson Day...

[Feckless]

Ethnic Cleansing is universally seen as a bad thing... except when the victims are White Southerners. If people insist on removing every last vestige of the Confederacy we should see the line at the Kenyan Airlines ticket counter about 50 million deep, waiting to purchase one way tickets.

When they came for the Confederate statues, we said nothing..........

[Stepan12]

But we should keep earth day. The hippie murderer Irs Einhorn, created earth day to celebrste Lenin’s birthday.
