I'm curious - which indigenous people are we celebrating exactly?
The Sioux who liked to mutilate the women and children of enemy tribes and set them on fire?
The Powhatan who bludgeoned a quarter of the population of the Colony of Virginia to death?
The Comanches who castrated and roasted men over open fires? That tortured, gang raped, & dismembered women and skinned children alive?
The Chickasaw, Choctaw, Cherokee, Creek, and Seminole who ALSO held African-American slaves?
The Incas and Aztecs who ripped the beating hearts out of their own children?
Do tell.
First. the above peoples were here first. As there was a land connection million of years ago. They owned the lands. Before whites got here.
See how in the video.
Second. Spain, England, and France just ******* claimed the lands of America. Back by the church using fake gods to justify its taking.
Third. Later on, the new US gobmint gave what was not theirs to give, land if they went out and settled it.
A free army of ****** killers to steal land from real owners. Plus the USA army
Three strikes DOPers.
The U.S. Gobmint owes trillions to the original owners in reporations for stealing land and murdering peoples.
They didn't "own" it. People don't own land simply because they were born on it. Rules and laws have to be established and adhered to, before anyone can own anything.
The Europeans came, conquered, laid claim to the land, established governments with rules and laws.
Get over it, if the Euros hadn't done it, another technological culture would have risen up and done the same thing.
The technological world would have never sat idle and allowed an entire hemisphere of the world remain a wilderness and ran by various tribes of people with spears and loincloths run half of the worlds mass of land.
Get the **** over it, if the conquerers didn't call themselves "Columbus" they would have called themselves "Mang".
Go ahead and get rid of Columbus Day, call it whatever you like, but nothing will change the history of what happened.
You want everyone crying for what happened to the indigenous people, well " boo hoo". Better now ?
