This is just for money, History does not sell as good than this game breaking the bones of so many teenagers. Anyway: Colombus is responsible for the death of so many people, actually i think it's even an embarrassing day, so not a big loss.
Replace it by LGBT++ eventually lol

Honestly- weather has been fucked- most of winter in NYC has been in the 40-50s. Today and this weekend is the first chill we’re getting and it’s back to the 50s.

Times were different- we don’t write off our first presidents and they had slaves…can’t discredit for what the guy did and with the limited resources and technologies that were available at that time. Plus their medicine. Either way, it’s an achievement and he was an explorer any way you wanna slice it.

I think whatever Columbus did wasn’t as bad as what Kaepernick did

Was about GOLD: upon returning from his third voyage, C Columbus was perceived as a torturer by the Spaniards, who had heard that his crew had mistreated the "new Spanish subjects". In Haiti, the Arawaks are exploited for the little gold they possess. They will quickly be decimated by mistreatment and disease. Discovery ? Yes, but also conquest and reckless search for more GOLD.

You know what it is? I’ll tell you what it is. It’s anti-Italian discrimination. Columbus Day is a day of Italian pride. It’s our holiday, and they wanna take it away.

How about Pizza and Paella day ? That sounds pretty good.

Thank you brother- it’s a day of huge pride…I’m not Italian, I’m Russian but I’m proud of Christopher Columbus and how he discovered this country…amazing man.

that’s just racist.

And to whatever argument you might have about Columbus being a bad guy- it’s all alleged. There is 0 proof.

Colin on the other hand, commit treason on national television during day time. We have it on video. Kids are watching.

And no being an activist isn’t wrong, just don’t do it on your paid hours time- go be an activist Monday thru Saturday. Case closed
