I totally get him – I feel like murdering everyone after a very long and crowded commute.
Happy Columbus Never Met An Indigenous Person He Didn’t Kill or Enslave Day! I can’t even imagine how many more indigenous persons Columbus may have murdered if he didn’t have the day off.
Columbus Day originated as a celebration of Italian-American heritage and was first held in San Francisco in 1869. The first state-wide celebration was held in Colorado in 1907. Franklin Delano Roosevelt pronounced Columbus Day in 1937, a celebration of the “promise which Columbus’s discovery gave to the world.” Since 1971, it has been celebrated on the second Monday in October. The date on which Columbus arrived in the Americas is also celebrated as the Dia de la Raza (Day of the Race) in Latin America and some Latino communities in the USA. However, it is a controversial holiday in some countries and has been re-named in others. A growing number of people in the US are pushing to change the date into a celebration of Indigenous Peoples’ Day.
And for all of this has nothing to do with the fact that it’s Canadian Thanksgiving.
