    In closing I'd like to say fuck Columbus, fuck every other pox infested explorer, and fuck white people. I hope you all die of FBA after a forced march to Oklahomo.

    We give you innovations like firewater, guns, and tats and this is how you repay us?
    why do you hate fake tittays?
    Exactly. You're all welcome for gracing you with Western culture and badassery (RIP 2008).

    Guilty white libtards can have a great day patting themselves on the back. Meanwhile on the reservation not a fucking thing changed. But at least we all feel better about it.

    Can plastic Injun currency be melted down to make fake tits?

    I'm assuming that ducks are celebrating Columbus day?

    Why not have an Indigenous People Day on its own day? Why all the hate for some Wop who led Spain over here to fuck up a bunch of Mexicans?

    We already celebrate Cinco de Mayo, so let's add Custer Day.

    I'd rather just get rid of Columbus Day than changing the name. Either way it's celebrating the destruction of a race of people. Even if you defend that it doesn't, it's still celebrating some bonehead who until his death thought he landed in India.

    How about we compromise and call it Indigenous Sreaming Savages Day?

    Or did you mean *Reaming?

    Either way, it fits.

    He was too stupid to realize that he had miscalculated the circumference of the earth. Anyone one who was slightly educated at the time knew that, and realized that if he attempted to sail to India he would die (fortunately for him there was a large continent in the way). It was only when people started to advocate science (and in particular science over religion) that they started making up shit about people in Europe at the time believing the earth was flat (which not any educated person believed).

    I still remember them teaching us in elementary school that Columbus "discovered" that the world was round by observing a butterfly walk on an orange, and comparing it to the sails of a ship returning from the horizon.

    Seriously, this was a MAJOR part of the curriculum. And it was complete bullshit.
