Happy (Somber) Indigenous Peoples' Day

[UNCMSinLS]

I just wanted to give our MAGA brethren something to celebrate during an otherwise slow time of the year. I mean, Halloween is the Devil's work, and Veterans' Day is still a month away. So, MAGA chuds, enjoy this day made especially by and for you.

Hard to believe that the republicans would so vehemently support the original immigrant, Christopher Columbus.

There is absolutely no reason to celebrate Columbus.

Just getting that on the record.

We could celebrate the physicist Charles-Augustin de Coloumb instead and raise awareness about various SI units. Happy Columb Day!

Be careful. You're going to upset the very fine people.

Was watching something the other day (can't honestly remember) but they were discussing how Columbus "discovered" America as the first Europeans to walk on American soil" lololol

I can't understand why anyone would keep this lie up in the face of actual facts that prove otherwise

If we ever want a chance of getting a proper day off for everyone, it needs to be Indigenous People Day.
The government isn’t ever going to make Columbus Day a National Holiday.

To be fair, he never actually reached what is now the United States.

And Leif Erikson did the same thing Columbus did, but 500 years earlier.

Fantastic, painful book I just listened to. Brutal.

I’m part Cherokee also. 1/16 on my mother’s side. The rest is British Isles.

Same here. British and Scotch Irish on my mother's side and a good bit of German heritage and Cherokee on my father's side. He has a couple of uncles who still very clearly show visible signs of that heritage in their appearance.

All class that guy.

I'm proudly 1/512 Mi'kmaq (Mother's side, French-Canadian).

I'm pretty sure JD Vance was genetically engineered in a douche bag laboratory.

I assume he's "crying" about Warren lying about her ancestry.

Honestly, calling her Pocahontas cracks me up. Most of Trump's name calling is just dumb, but this one is funny.
