happy almost cloumus day

Seriously, I’m 58 years old... I will probably always call it Columbus Day... I just want to know why people in today’s world feel like we need to change the past... it’s part of the America’s history??? It’s history it should not be changed, good bad or indifferent.

I'm not an anime fan but I'll still like your comment lol

If you listen very hard, the tune will come to you at last, when one is all and all are one.

I understand the true meaning. Many people miss the point of Columbus Day. We don't celebrate Columbus himself, per se, we celebrate how his discovery benefited all of humanity. Changing it to Italian Heritage day does not convey the true meaning.. changing it to Indigenous People's day does not convey the meaning either.. why you may ask? Because 1. Italian heritage day only celebrates Columbus being Italian, when in reality he was better known than that. 2. The indigenous people did not build a boat or wonder if another world really existed. Just because they were here first does not mean they "deserve" the credit. It's not about who was first. It's about what Columbus gave everyone, no-- he did not give everyone diseases or enslavement, at least in the optimistic view he did not. He United 2 worlds together and brought such awareness to them both. The pessimist view would be "slaughtered" them. When really, that is not at all what this holiday is about.

here here celebrate indigineous peoples day on a different day. by the way that means more days off school. thetre is 366 other days to celebrate use on of those

yes they murdered both colonists and the colonists murdered them so dont even celebrate a holiday. just to make it fair

One day, I hope we can all decide that the true meaning of this day is a day of true meaning.
