How are you going to celebrate somebody is killer and reapers
Happy Columbus Day
People just want a day off .
have you seen the movie Madres on Amazon prime? Have you seen the documentary of (No mas Bebes)? Did you make noise for the women who got raped in the Georgia detention center? Did you guyd make noise so they can win their case? The women who were getting their reproductive organs removed without consent or became sterilized without consent did you make noise? Or does the color of their skin play a factor for you not to care?
To honour the native Americans, statues of Columbus should be replaced with great native American heroes like Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse etc.
Action speaks louder than words.
An elder said when he spoke in front of the people in Congress there used to be 60 million indigenous people on this land turtle Island as we call it and now you’re lucky if you have 1 million and there’s probably 300,000 he said full-blooded Indian left traditional Indian that’s a shame 60 million can you believe it I could
India so why do we have to share anything with anyone especially Columbus he didn’t discover America how did you discover something that’s inhabited by human beings are ready just saying
Happy Colombia day! Don’t let the natives ruin it
Kumeyaay had wars with Byzantine 400 years before Columbus touched the east coast
Shot outs to all the Seminole and Creek… Mvskoke Nations the Iroquois and Choctaw Apache and Cherokee…shotbout to all the Chickasaw for hospitalities over last 300 years…as Native Americans we still be discriminated against from auto insurance Renting outside the Rez or ever buying land back that was stolen Or getting financing for housing or home or land ownership or jobs that pay well and are seasonal so we can thrive again nomadically….Fuk the USDA and still holds and waste the majority of our stolen lands through all their GD courts and colleges
Do indigenous people in the U.S not have more than everyone else? Who is discriminating against them? I thought they could have casinos and free college grants and stuff the rest rest of the people in this country don't get. Isn't everyone indigenous to somewhere? This is an ignorant topic. What did Columbus do by the way? How about we focus on the future and stop celebrating failures like Columbus. He thought he landed in India and call the people Indians lol. We still call them that!!! Not sure why lol
I don't care. I am a mixed breed thanks to Columbus. But I am also from indigenous background….
Quite frankly our history books need a serious rewrite, which will not happen. Educate yourself and your children and understand that the world is made up of so many different cultures. That's what makes things interesting!
I agree what ever you call it this county worker gets a day off.
Columbus has his historic day for crossing west when others never record their own ventures. Indigenous people were not progressive as much as Europeans. If left alone they would have continue at their own time. But greed and adventure does take over the Americas.
Finally, demanding right to have turn becoming thug just like that umbriaco of an excuse Explorer. Through this treaty one nation of people forever Bear Brunt of one individual's guilt. Forgo your traditions, pride in La Dolce Vita, contributions to Roman democracy, founding Foundation built upon scientific disciplines,
To this very day My Italatini grandparents flash sign of Malocchio upon hearing near mention of evil Admiral's name.
Must one imagine whole Irish lot forced to bear weight of the cross atoning for St Patrick's mortal sin.
Or humanizing God himself for every lash of the whip Spaniards claimed in his name?
Due away with Columbus Day Indians was living in America First
Lol abc has a conflict of interest cuz they exclusively cover the Columbus day parade lol.
Long live Cristobal Colon!!!!!
This just in: Washington DC will now be renamed Washington DI.
Make America Native Again.
No, that's one of the stupidest question's that I've heard in my life. One celebrates a mass murderer, the other mourns and celebrates the indigenous people of America.
One celebrates an exploiter, a monster and a genuinely evil man. The other is more reconcilatory, has frankly more substance to the holiday and celebrates people alive today and remembers the tragic losses of the past.
Furthermore Columbus day never has anything actual nice happen, while indigenous people's day, people who celebrate it, use it as an actual get together and we eat food and other nice things.
See now cuz you all changed it to “indigenous “ day. Whatever that means. Now I have to work and kids have school . You guys suck . Cry babies
White America will come and go just like the European hairline
-COMANCHE NATION
She indigenous? Is Africa part of North Erica..?
the Doctrine of Discovery. Repeal it. That's all I have to say
