Origins of Columbus Day
A U.S. national holiday since 1937, Columbus Day commemorates the arrival of Christopher Columbus in the New World on October 12, 1492. The Italian-born explorer had set sail two months earlier, backed by the Spanish monarchs King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella. He intended to chart a western sea route to China, India and the fabled gold and spice islands of Asia; instead, he landed in the Bahamas, becoming the first European to explore the Americas since the Vikings set up colonies in Greenland and Newfoundland during the 10th century.
Benjamin Harrison issued a proclamation encouraging Americans to mark the 400th anniversary of Columbus’ voyage with patriotic festivities, writing, “On that day let the people, so far as possible, cease from toil and devote themselves to such exercises as may best express honor to the discoverer and their appreciation of the great achievements of the four completed centuries of American life.”
In 1937, President Franklin D. Roosevelt proclaimed Columbus Day a national holiday, largely as a result of intense lobbying by the Knights of Columbus, an influential Catholic fraternal benefits organization. Originally observed every October 12, it was fixed to the second Monday in October in 1971.

Happy Columbus Day to all!

We're going to grill some steaks, and watch the children beat a native american with bats and other whitey type stuff, maybe have a black guy pull a plow around the yard and whip him or something, like many other white families will, of course.

Fun times!

Now all of the left wing wackos will chime in with all kinds of racist anti Caucasian stupidity.
My response? Hey, if you're feeling guilty about...oh say being of European Caucasian descent, take the black pill.
Do not expect the rest of us to feel your guilt and self loathing.

Hispanics are white (and welcome in this nation ) when it supports their daily talking-points.

I'm a half breed Iroquois. And I STILL recognize that Columbus made a remarkable discovery that helped to create this great nation. Back when it was a great nation. Recently not so much. We need to get rid of democrats.
