What Columbus Day? It’s Indigenous Peoples Day! ✊🏽

Yes, there’s already a Native American Day next month, but we deserve to have two holidays, so there!

Someone actually blocked me this morning because I said that Cumbus didn't discover north America! 😂🤣
@DarkHeaven You guys were a little nicer to us than Columbus was. In Erikson’s case, I think we were the assholes to him. He tried! 😂
@PerchingDove Per the sagas he didn’t really run into the indigenous people before sailing back to Greenland with grapes and timber from Newfoundland and never came back, but some relatives with crew were killed by the Natives in a skirmish on a return trip. Bow and arrow were great weapons at the time, especially with gorilla war tactics. This was some 300 years before any kind of guns, which definitely didn’t favor Native Americans, since they didn’t have any.

I find it amusing that people still celebrate Columbus for discovering America... 500 years after the Vikings already found it... 🤔
@wildbill83 Leif Erikson Day was a couple days ago.

Well thanksgiving is your day too
@KimmyGary I say that’s everyone’s day and also a day where we should keep the less fortunate in mind. Like Christmas.
KimmyGary · F
@PerchingDove should keep the less fortunite in mind all year not just a holiday
@KimmyGary I mean doing more for them around that time.
