These morons have confused Columbus with Cortés.
An easy mistake to make. For a moron.
Personally I think they were both awesome in their own right, but whatever, to each their own.
Just wait until these people learn about the various religions... Or the Romans.
Or... really any of history actually, it's never really stopped being brutal.
Yes.
We celebrate thanksgiving every year too, put i don’t think it was all that jolly back in the day.

As virtuous as canceling Columbus day sounds, it would add to the growing aggregate ignoramus around the plight of the indigenous Americans. At least with Columbus Day we have naive well intention people enjoying the day and a yearly reminder of the brutal and real conquest origins where Columbus was simply the figurehead of a conquesting institution, one surving to this day. Just look at how the 2007 salvage claim was handled over sunk Peru gold. Peru got 0, Salvager got fined, Spain got the coin doing shady behavior international water.
History can not be canceled, or rather should not. Forgetting it, would just be a course for repeating it.
On top of all that…how many pointless and stupid holidays have come out in the past decade or so. Why are certain holidays and “movements” pushing out traditions/classic holidays? Why the hell did people move from saying merry Christmas to happy holidays- one of the things I hate to hear during Christmas.

How about a simple America fuck yeah! Day. no reason other then it's awesome.
That’s everyday! And the way things are going, there are less and less Americans everyday. People turning their back on Columbus Day are literally turning their back on the freedom this country represents.

How do you discover land that a million people live on?
I just discovered cost co.
Soon you will discover that products made in that bulk quantity taste off. It’s just not the same as buying it in smaller quantity size. And it sucks. Imagine getting a product you want to enjoy but you can’t- it’s over salted, or the taste tastes expired or something. Lemons, limes and fruits go bad faster from Costco too. The only thing that is identical that you can buy from Costco is cup of noodles lol. Those things would make it through anything though. Happy shopping!
