    Thumbs up Today is Columbus Day, not Indigenous Peoples Day

    Socialists, Nazis, Communists, all authoritarians feel the need to tear things down and replace them with nonsense. It is the methodology of dictator-minded people going back for centuries. They must destroy before they build their dictatorships.

    Well, so to disappoint all the stupid lunkheads out there, but . . .

    Today is Columbus Day, not Indigenous Peoples Day

    Columbus Day is a national holiday in many countries of the Americas and elsewhere, and a federal holiday in the United States, which officially celebrates the anniversary of Christopher Columbus's arrival in the Americas on October 12, 1492.

    Christopher Columbus was a Genovese-born explorer who became a subject of the Hispanic Monarchy in order to lead a Spanish enterprise to cross the Atlantic Ocean in search of an alternative route to the Far East, only to land in the New World. Columbus's first voyage to the New World on the Spanish ships Santa María, Niña, and La Pinta took approximately three months. Columbus and his crew's arrival in the New World initiated the colonization of the Americas by Spain, followed in the ensuing centuries by other European powers, as well as the transfer of plants, animals, culture, human populations, and technology between the New World and the Old World, an event referred to by some late 20th‐century historians as the Columbian Exchange.

    The landing is celebrated as Columbus Day in the United States, but the name varies on the international spectrum. The Dominican Republic, the epicenter of the historical event and where Columbus first set foot, celebrates this day as "The Discovery of the Americas". In some Latin American countries, October 12 is known as Día de la Raza or "Day of the Race". This is the case for Mexico, which inspired Jose Vasconcelos' book celebrating the Day of the Iberoamerican Race. Some countries such as Spain refer to the holiday as Día de la Hispanidad and Fiesta Nacional de España.

    Giornata Nazionale di Cristoforo Colombo or Festa Nazionale di Cristoforo Colombo is the formal name of the celebration in Italy as well as in Little Italys around the world.

    Howard Zinn ‘Inspiration Behind Attacks on Columbus Day’
    https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2...-columbus-day/

    Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League, the watchdog agency and defender of the civil rights of all Catholics, wrote a three-part series on Columbus and the origins of the attacks on the man and the day intended to honor his achievements.

    And I thought it was October 11th

    It is what you want to make it, other than Italian Americans I don’t believe there are many Americans who think of Columbus today, doubt most Italian Americans do, it’s just a day off for most. Hard to envision a lot of people in Salina, Kansas or Boise, Idaho celebrating Chris today

    It's a rare one-person circle jerk. Don't see those outside a mental health clinic very much.
