Indigenous Peoples Day to Replace Columbus Day After Los Angeles City Council Vote

The Los Angeles City Council voted Wednesday to eliminate Columbus Day from the city calendar, siding with activists who viewed the explorer as a symbol of genocide for native peoples.

Over the objections of Italian American civic groups, the council made the second Monday in October a day in L.A. to commemorate “indigenous, aboriginal and native people.” The day will remain a paid holiday for city employees.

This, I agree with. Now the rest of the states need to follow suit.

Your thoughts?

I'll still call it Columbus Day, so there.

Just more PC idiocy run amuck. .....

Columbus "discovered" the Americas that was already FULLY populated with people.

Without Columbus there would not be any LA.

Looks like patients are running asylum in LA.

Yet they can't get sports teams to change their names. Money!

Your thoughts?

Let's ask the Arawaks.


Oh, no..about that. Yeah.......

As an Italian-American, why in the hell are we celebrating a guy that died thinking he discovered Asia? Why are we celebrating a guy that never set foot in North America?

Columbus Day is a federal holiday and trumps anything done by LA.Feds should require federal employees living in LA to work that Day or not receive pay.

Point.

So how do we celebrate?

 

[Tank]

Great, another excuse for them to get drunk

 

[Billy_Kinetta]

So how do we celebrate?

The Corleone wedding in "The Godfather".

I actually did laugh out loud.

More idiocy. Liberals intend to completely erase history as we know it and replace it with a fake one they like better.

Liberalism is based on fakery. Fake tits, fake dicks, fake women, fake men, fake food, fake feelings, fake everything.

Tipsy,

You would have slapped the bejeezes out of that man liberally after trying to explain to him---more than once---that he did not go to Asia. He insisted that he had. Went to his grave thinking he had.

Personally, I don't care what it's called. I'll celebrate the day like I do any federal holiday: cooking the house down and overindulging in food/drink.

These sub humans discovered nothing. They wandered across a land bridge along with the deer, elk and skunks.

 

[skye]

Much as the moronic Left tries to erase History

They won't succeed.

This is getting boring.

“Indigenous, Aboriginal and Native People - Day?”

Here's a thought. Dump the whole thing and replace Columbus/IANP Day with Leif Erikson Day on 9 October. He beat Columbus by some 500 years and actually landed in North America.

Leif Erikson Day in the United States

The celebration would include every US citizen of Scandinavian descent (like yours truly) facing north and yelling, "ODIN!"
