Christopher Columbus Was A Terrorist!

We celebrate a horrible man's legacy.

Folks, I hate the Blogger interface.

I will keep reminding you that it's difficult to post now that Google rolled out their new interface. It deletes posts. Trust me, I am one of millions who are really not feeling this. Google will find its reckoning.

Nonetheless I keep saying this.

WEAR A DAMN MASK! SAVE A LIFE!

The second Monday in October is Columbus Day. 

It's a tribute to Christopher Columbus, the European colonializer who sailed to the West Indies with intentions of pillaging and looting the resources of tribal people. 

What folks fail to realize that Columbus was a racist bastard. Columbus born in 1451 in the Republic of Genoa completed four voyages across the Atlantic Ocean paving the way for white nationalism and colonization of the Americas. 

During his arrival, the people were sick and they spread viruses and diseases. 

They killed native animals and enslaved people to do their bidding. He should never have been honored. But leave it up to Donald J. Trump to protect Columbus' legacy as well as his own. 

Trump is very vocal about the destruction of statues of Christopher Columbus, confederate generals and the founding fathers. 

What we should be calling this is Indigenous Peoples' Day. 

Indigenous Peoples' Day is a holiday that celebrates and honors Native American peoples and commemorates their histories and cultures. 

It is celebrated across the United States on the second Monday in October, and is an official city and state holiday in various localities. 

It began as a counter-celebration held on the same day as the U.S. federal holiday of Columbus Day, which honors Italian explorer Christopher Columbus. Many reject celebrating him, saying that he represents "the violent history of the colonization in the Western Hemisphere", and that Columbus Day is a sanitization or covering-up of Christopher Columbus' actions such as enslaving Native Americans.

It was instituted in Berkeley, California, in 1992, to coincide with the 500th anniversary of the arrival of Christopher Columbus in the Americas on October 12, 1492. Two years later, Santa Cruz, California, instituted the holiday.
