How come junior high didn't teach me that Columbus killed so many Indians before taking south America over? For some weird reason I find it hard to believe that this piece of garbage has a parade? People want to bash gay parades and such, they should ban this parade instead. Columbus has a parade, why? He did get to the new world, but he wasn't the first ( ever heard of the Olmecs?) Why doesn't the school system just cut the crap and teach us the murderous truth about this Italian/ Spanish hit man. when I got to college that's when I started to learn the truth! This guy is no savior, he used the Bible as justification for murder and enslavement of Indians and Africans. This dumb *** went to Africa to pick on my people after killing numerous Indians who they killed themselves. Damn! If Native Americans don't want to celebrate it I don't see a problem, so F@&K you if you do.

I agree with you completely. And it's not just a parade. He has a holiday, Columbus day. Where I am from we put on a local event called Indigenous Solidarity Day on columbus day. It's actually an anti-columbus day event. It's great!
Why don't they get rid of it? Because if they were to get rid of it they would have to acknowlege why. They would have to acknowledge the brutal history of this country, and they just aren't ready to do so. It is sick.

Hmm. Like Jesus, Columbus is long-dead, and isn't going to see your question.
