Today, Monday, October 9th, we honor the Native Americans, the
original settlers of this land.
Today we say Happy Indigenous People's Day.
Now, I do not understand why this is partisan, but
it has come to my attention that the Texas GOP
is not saying Happy Indigenous People's Day, they're celebrating Columbus
Day with their little seal of approval.
So, alright, fine.
If you want to remember Christopher Columbus, let's go ahead
and do that.
Let's not forget that Christopher Columbus uh kidnapped a carib
woman and gave her to his crew to rape.
Another area, a member of uh his crew would publicly
cut off the ears of Indians in order to shock
them into submission.
Christopher Columbus kidnapped and enslaved more than a thousand people
in certain areas, and 50,000 Indians committed mass murder rather
than comply with the Spanish.
Don't forget that settlers under Columbus, they sold nine and
ten year old girls into sexual slavery.
So, yeah.
Uh happy Christopher Columbus Day, GOP.
But happy to who exactly?
