Everything you need to know about NYC’s Columbus Day Parade

[
For the 74th year running, the annual Columbus Day Parade—which bills itself as “the world’s largest celebration of Italian-American culture”—will march up Fifth Avenue on Monday, October 8. This year, parade organizer tapped First Data Corporation president Guy Chiarello as grand marshal and more than one million spectators are anticipated for the event.

Last year, the Columbus Day parade drew a higher amount of skepticism, as calls to remove the Christopher Columbus statue at Columbus Circle made the rounds. While Columbus is credited with encouraging European exploration in the Americas, many take issue with the devastating effects that his exploits had on indigenous people in the Caribbean and beyond.

If you think cultural genocide is something worth celebrating, um, yeah. I guess.

You loons just need a "cause "....and something to bitch about.

How about ya just STFU for a month or so. We need a rest from your whines
 
Judging historical events by todays standards is absolute idiocy.

Columbus's voyage to the new world at that time was an astounding feat equal to the first man on the moon.

Everyone thought he was insane, and would fall off the end of the Earth.

His voyage and return opened up the exploration of 50% of the unknown part of our planet, and deserves to be celebrated, not vilified and hidden. .... :cool:

The "voyage" part isn't what the problem was.....

What Europeans did to the natives is nothing different from what they did to each other, except the Europeans had better weapons and military science.

I say that Columbus knew what he was looking for...The "shortcut to India" narrative that we've been taught in gubmint skools is all wet.
 
"Might makes right" mentality is what all the religions, philosophies and moral codes put forth as the highest and best humankind can come up with.

We are where we are....History is what it is...Sitting around and apologizing for water under the bridge serves no other purpose than the intellectually masturbatory activity of virtue signalling.
