and previously there was strong opposition to it from the KKK and similar groups because of its association with....Catholicism.
Hey, Columbus, why don't you discover DEEZ NUTS
It's never been as common as it is now among liberals. States weren't replacing Columbus Day with Indigenous People's Day before.

It also stems back to a decision by Gov. George Mickelson in the late 1980s to seek "reconciliation" between Natives and whites after historically bad relations. Mickelson asked the Legislature to declare 1990 a "Year of Reconciliation" and to rename Columbus Day as Native Americans' Day. The measure passed unanimously.

Indigenous People's Day is older than you, you absolute twat.https://whdh.com/news/these-states-are-ditching-columbus-day-to-observe-indigenous-peoples-day-instead/
https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1316011746973286400No it’s an appeal to his white base that feels that their American culture is under attack by minorities. It’s a shut up minorities whistle. Because now a counter point is that the left hates America and bring in communism. Which is idiotic. But what I find funny is that Trump has badmouthed America and mocked our military and institutions the entire time, but sure he’s saving America. When a black athlete critiques America he’s a son of a bitch, but when the white president does it he’s a hero.

Radical left? Who the f is he talking about
Is this like holocoast deniers talking about how Hitler was actually a really good man and did a lot of good things for Germany?
Should we erect men? Definitely!
I don't have a problem with statues. I don't like the weird reverence the right has for them in a "it's my culture" way
I don't agree we have a greater understanding of history at all, just that our views have changed of what is great.
The problem with the right and left right now is mostly that on both sides you have people frothing at the mouth and not talking about things normally.
On the right you have tinfoil hats and Drumf thinking discussing things is THE END OF MAH CULTURE. On the left you have people like Shosta who say Columbus is literally Hitler. Of course no normal solution will be found between these two dumb extremes.
What both left and right need to accept that things change and will change and really normally talk to each other and try to understand each other honestly.
That’s what someone not a part of it would say :girlaff
In the discord shosta says his hitler comparison was being kind to Columbus :doge
Discord isnt Bore canon soo
Ever since you can get banned on the Bore for insulting mods on Discord I think it is
Haha bork remember when you banned me because I rightfully said mass protests during a global pandemic were dumb if your demographic was already hurt hard?
Still waiting for an apology.
To be fair, Columbus was never a head of state. Comparisons of
him to Nazi SS leader Heinrich Himmler, rather than Hitler, are
therefore more accurate and appropriate. It is time to delve into the
substance of the defendants' assertion that Columbus and Himmler, Nazi
Lebensraumpolitik (conquest of "living space" in eastern Europe) and
the "settlement of the New World" bear more than casual
resemblance to one another.
So being the first to make such a risky trip is worth recognizing the achievement
He also comitted genocide but ok im sure he was a great guyQuoteTo be fair, Columbus was never a head of state. Comparisons of

As a history fan I just love relics from the old days so statues in my book are to be protected.
There are of course exemptions, which for me is political leaders who were bad dudes like Hitler and Stalin.
However, if a statue of Hitler or Stalin was to be found I'd rather have it placed in a museum than demolished.
However, Columbus was no political leader but an explorer and exploration is dangerous and often deadly.
It follows the laws of nature, kill or be killed or do or die trying.
So being the first to make such a risky trip is worth recognizing the achievement even if it ended in bloodshed.
Columbus being a genocidal maniac wasn't widely recognized here until recently (or at best was apologized for as "complex") and is a major part of the culture war right now. Fox commentators were having a field day yesterday.
finally starting using the metrical system.Go to hell Marxist.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say you're prob gonna stay waiting dawg
Why everything needs to be a fucking culture war with you guys.I agree, it shouldn't even be debatable to change Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples Day.
Did you guys really want the North Koreans to find America first? Really?
Wait, why can't we compare Christopher Columbus to Hitler?
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say you're prob gonna stay waiting dawg
It's ok, takes a big man to say they were wrong.
Columbus wiped out the Tainos (something I had to learn as an adult because most US history classes don't teach this). Hitler tried to kill all Jews. What's the difference?Wait, why can't we compare Christopher Columbus to Hitler?
No one says you can't. It's just stupid.

Maybe you should stick to discussing things you know like basketball or something
That Kobe Bryant huh? Bit like Hitler really. Hitler tried to kill Jews and Kobe killed Bulls amirite ( i had to learn about this as an adult cause they only show football here)
/Breezy probably
That's how i feel reading columbus = hitler
If on one hand you have trump and on the other people like breezy the US is in more trouble then I thought
Good maybe but not knowledgeable or smart
Are you going to ban me again for telling the truth?
You need to grow some thick skin bork, you come off like a lil fat kid that got some modicum of power and is now abusing it to feel more powerful, you know it.
I fucking hate every european:noooo
Rather be a jackass that's right, then a snowflake that's wrong.
