Well, which is it? It was Columbus Day until we found out how terribly this first of the invaders treated the Indians. And he did treat them badly. Well, it is mostly his men, but he stood by, watched and let them do it. Check out Bartolomeo de Casas, if you can stomach it. Nasty stuff.
And so the proposal is to change the name of the holiday from Columbus Day to Indigenous People’s Day.
How do the people feel about this change? Well let’s do a survey of some typical men on the street so we can see how they feel about the proposed changes.
“Uh. The name of the holiday is Columbus Day, punks! Columbus Day, you hear me? Columbus Day! You got a problem wit dat? Huh? Answer me punk!”
