And he did not change the world as it existed then. He was basically forgotten and so his accomplishment was ipso facto forgettable.

Perhaps forgotten by some.

Much as the moronic Left tries to erase History

They won't succeed.

This is getting boring.

The homo-progressive globalists want to erase all the history and accomplishments of Western Europeans.

Whites, Christians, and capitalism must be destroyed at all costs.

I didn't start the thread wanting everyone to agree with LAs decision. I just reported it and gave my opinion and was curious as to y'alls. Call the holiday whatever you want...its fine because you are entitled to your own opinions about it.

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.

Then he would have skewered you for acting out of your class striking a nobleman

Know my genealogy, do ya?

 

[DigitalDrifter]

This is the trend, and the name "Columbus" will soon be stricken from the American landscape.

And by the way, to the Mexican residents of LA, your ancestors were no more "indigenous" than mine. Your ancestors were conquerors just like the rest of ours.

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?

Because he developed navigation by stars, the first to do so and had the data to show others how to return there.

So, yeah, he is a fairly important person, despite what a bunch of ignoramuses say about him.

His discovery also had the impact of altering the existing trade routes globally from East West trade going through the middle East to one of going west then east around the cape.

It is abysmally stupid of the LA council to do this, but seeing what they are doing to their own city and state, I dont really give much of a flying fook about what they do or say or try to think.

He "used" celestial navigation on his fourth trip and kept few notes on it. He used dead reckoning.

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.

they cant do that.....the workers have no control over what a city council does......

 

[Mac1958]

This is just getting started, gang.

 

[eflatminor]

Ah yes, we should hold in the highest esteem a culture that never evolved out of the stone age.

If only we all could still be shitting in the woods.

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?

Their choice, of course. Why do the rest of the states need to follow suit?

Though in the interest of history, the folks who occupied land in Mexico when the Spanish arrived were hardly 'indigenous', as they were relative newcomers and they themselves had replaced earlier groups, willing or not. And so it went. Nearly all the inhabitants of the Americas came from somewhere else - mostly Asia.

Face it - basically all human inhabitants of the America's are immigrants. Some were just more plentiful and powerful than others.

Let's just call it Caveman Day.

Echoes of a Prehistoric Horror


His and his crew's bravery created a whole new world of opportunities for the dispossessed fittest. The Indian savages were criminal fugitives on the run from Asia. They finally got caught for breaking the laws of evolution. We must make sure that the illegitimately empowered feralphile fraternity of Whites does not survive

Columbus was the first to use Celestial navigation to cross open ocean away from the coast. So he did not do it quite right in his first three voyages but apparently did in by his fourth.

That is called LEARNING HOW TO DO IT, dear. Of course Columbus was struggling with it; he was the first to do it in that environment in open ocean.

Compare the Portugese routes around Africa to Columbus' voyages; notice any differences?

The Portugese hugged the coastlines too until Columbus showed the world that celestial navigation could be done successfully.

And for that and the many wonderful things we have had since, the foods found in the new world like potatoes, tomatoes, yams and corn, as well as the change in trade routes that he gave Western nations.

You are being an ideologically blind buffoon to say we should not honor the many good things Columbus gave us simply because he was a man of his time with all the bigotry that came with it.

LA can call it what they wish...just don't whine like a ***** when normal people don't follow suit

Some genos need to be cided. It's either them or us. The race traitors in power must be the first to feel our vengeance.

Map of the world prior to Columbus

Notice how people would just cross open ocean after Columbus as he had changed how it was done to great effect.

No more hugging the coast and jumping from one high elevation point to the next like Erikson and the Portugese before him.

So how do we celebrate?

How Now, Pow Wow?

Gracie thinks Indians could have invented everything the White man did,

but the Indians just choose not to

We all know that they were too mentally handicapped to invent the wheel. But they were also too dumb to see the possibility of horseback riding. They exterminated their horses thousands of years ago.

As long as we're directed to make it all about worthless savages, I'll call it "Wounded Knee Pest Extermination Day."
