Happy Columbus Day
Fuck the leftists who want to erase American historyColumbus isn’t American history. He wasn’t American, and never set foot in this country. The only reason you Boomers think he has anything to do with America is because Italian-American organizations staged a massive PR campaign to connect an Italian to America’s foundational myth, at a time when Italian immigrants were being discriminated against.
Happy Columbus Day

Whitewashing history doesn't change what happened, but you know that.

If people want to celebrate an elitist racist fraud that's fine. History has shown Columbus did not discover America.
Some unfairly blame Columbus for unfair treatment of the Indians without taking into consideration that he and his crew encountered ruthless tribes that included cannibals and the brutal Aztecs. These contributed to the force needed to survive.Smdh! COLUMBUS WAS A THIEF AND CONQUEROR. A pillager. Columbus is owed NOTHING. Except for his real history to be known.
And Columbus stole nothing from the Indians. Columbus simply paved the way for future settlers, like the pilgrims and others, to explore and settle in and establish the 13 colonies
For that we owe Christopher Columbus a debt of thanks

Further, even the indigenous didn't start out on this continent, they just got here sooner, and, there is a good chance that the Chinese and Pacific Islanders also had colonies here, so, which "Indigenous" group do you celebrate for?
