Happy Columbus Day!

Post by CID1990 »

Hot Air had a post about our favorite holiday and how there is a push afoot to rebrand it

Happy Leif Ericson Day!.... wait... he was just the first white guy to discover it

"Native" Americans discovered it around 35000 years ago, having walked across the Bering land bridge.

Siberians....basically Russians... maybe this belongs in Jelly's thread. Somebody call Bob Mueller!

What about the aliens that lived in the Nazca Desert before all of that?

On Columbus Day, standing in front of the History of Italian Immigration Museum he cofounded, Joseph Rollo read an inscription engraved on a sidewalk tile at his feet:

"Famiglia Grasso 1949
Famiglia Guzzardi 1947
From Italy & Carried
To America Dreams of
Hope & Created A Life
A Family, A Legacy"

"That's my parents," Rollo said.

And then he pointed just above the tiles, toward white graffiti spray-painted on the sidewalk at 1834 E. Passyunk Ave.: "COLUMBUS=MUSSOLINI=RIZZO=TRUMP=FASCIST." And, outside the front door, a message with the words "RACISM," "SLAVERY," "GENOCIDE."
