In his presidential proclamation recognizing Columbus Day issued last week, President Barack Obama said the holiday was a day to celebrate our heritage as people born of many histories and traditions and a time to reflect on the tragic burdens tribal communities bore since the explorer arrived on the North American continent in 1492.
And here I thought it was to celebrate the man known as Columbus.
I'm sorry you don't like historical fact.
I've always been confused about why we need to celebrate Columbus. He didn't discover anything that hadn't already been discovered. Nothing.
Sorta like why do we celebrate a made up holiday like kwansa, right?
