I guess white people need to appoint an official spokesman. Then have that guy read the following statement:

"On behalf of all white people, I would like to apologize to all People of Color for the fact that we've totally dominated the last 2 Millenniums. That's right, homies. 20 consecutive centuries and counting! We're responsible for 98% of the good stuff....speaking of which, how about those planes, trains and automobiles? Do you enjoy your IPad and smatphone? Can I get a witness? And yes, we've been responsible for about 70% of the bad shite, too. Oops!"

"So anyway, home slices, sorry for partying. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm late for an appointment with my life coach."

MIC DROP.

Thank god someone is finally addressing the most important issues that are threatening our great nation... I don’t think I can survive many more years of the sheer anguish I suffer through every Columbus Day. Surely this will bring our nation back together

The right wing obsession with this man is bewildering. You shoehorned this in a conversation about holidays.

What did the indigenous people do to deserve a holiday?



Reading comprehension is your friend. I said that there shouldn't be any holiday there

I have no problem with this.

Italians in this country rammed Columbus Day down our throats and through Congress.

Columbus by all accounts was a murderous a-hole who his crew fricking hated him, Spain arrested, removed and tried him for basically crimes against humanity back then when you could generally kill whomever the frick you wanted to.

And there isn't a group on earth more fricked over than the American Indian but nobody gives a shite like they do for slavery or the Holocaust.

They aren’t. They are trying to flock the SJW idiots to their banner before someone says “squirrel” and they go somewhere else.

Oh please.

Because they were just one big family singing and dancing together across all of North America until the white man came, right?

These things happened 400 years ago. Time to get over it.

Just keep letting these candidates talk. They are eliminating themselves every time a camer is near.

Biden and crazy Bernie wouldn’t say a word if they are smart.

Huh? A couple of left-wing people faked hate crimes. Right-wing people mention Obama at least 30 times a day on this board. It's a really dumb comparison you're making

In Columbus’ defense, if I came up on a people who were conducting ritual human sacrifice on the regular, I would think they needed to be destroyed too

Mentioning the last president of the US is obsession? You don't understand the idea of comparing the policies of the current and the last president? Or comparing the huge successes of Trump to his predecessor? Don't be retarded.

What I was talking about was someone in this thread who mentioned Obama when I was talking about Columbus. It had nothing to do with policies. just obsession. There are plenty of off topic mentions of Obama on this board all the time.

Conservatives discussing a directly former president is bewildering to you?

You said Columbus was a moron and a murderer and therefore shouldn't be celebrated. Obama is also a murderer and a moron and yet you celebrate him. I was just curious as to why you choose to celebrate one and condemn to other.

Can't she lobby to create new day called indigenous people's day? Why does she have to erase Columbus to do it?


Oh, come on. Haven't you heard? Columbus was EEEEEVIL! All was peace and love in the New World until his imperialist, genocidal, disease-carrying posterior arrived on the scene.

Rewriting his place in the history of the West is one of the top 5 SJW imperatives. If anyone could prove that an ancestor was directly oppressed by Columbus, that person would live at the very top of the intersectional food chain in perpetuity, I'd bet.

It was the answer to a question, what is she supposed to say to the question????

Anyway, Columbus wasn't a great person, and his contribution to our country is far over-rated. I never quite understood why we have a columbus day.
