Happy Columbus Day to the Italians

**NrmlCurvSurfr** · 10-12-20, 08:58 AM

At this point I think I would rather live in the woods wearing animal skins and smoking whatever they smoked in those long pipes...

**dark star** · 10-12-20, 08:59 AM

Used to go out to North Fork of Long Island every Columbus day & catch some big ass bass,,, the good old days

**stake1** · 10-12-20, 09:09 AM

Thought the democrats cancelled it?

**flyingillini** · 10-12-20, 09:10 AM

JJ, was Jesus black ?

**pablo222** · 10-12-20, 09:11 AM

Wrong JJ. Spain invented America. Italians were too broke to fund Columbus.

**pologq** · 10-12-20, 09:26 AM

thanks JJ for gassing my Italian heritage up

**keely85** · 10-12-20, 09:30 AM

Quality thread right here

**jjgold** · 10-12-20, 09:36 AM

The mafia control the United States not as much now never forget Christopher Columbus

**Chi_archie** · 10-12-20, 09:41 AM

Columbus one of the greatest men ever!

**Mr KLC** · 10-12-20, 09:41 AM

Columbus Day haters. I'll agree to retire it if you agree to make the day after the Super Bowl a national holiday.

**Skookum** · 10-12-20, 09:50 AM

With regard to the imbeciles that degrade Columbus; do they believe that America would be a primitive sanctuary for Natives today if Columbus had not landed here?

**big joe 1212** · 10-12-20, 10:00 AM

Democrats will abolish this holiday when Biden gets elected.

Probably replace it with Juneteenth

**NrmlCurvSurfr** · 10-12-20, 10:34 AM

Agree with KLC...I never schedule a day off the day of a holiday or party...day after is the sharp play

**Brock Landers** · 10-12-20, 10:36 AM

He enslaved natives and was no hero.

Fuckk him

Somebody would have eventually founded this continent and the same thing would have happened. Progress is progress.

**SBR Tony** · 10-12-20, 10:50 AM

it would have been a whole other world if not for Columbus
those that want to cancel this day can go kick the can, or even better LEAVE like they said in 2016

Not everyone had your moral character. Can you imagine the schemes Brock Landers could've pulled on a totally unsuspecting population?

**Snowball** · 10-12-20, 11:22 AM

Columbus Day exists for two reasons. The first: Columbus was the explorer who completed four recorded voyages across the Atlantic, showing great courage, determination and skill. His audacity and vision revolutionized worldwide human migration. Hundreds of millions of immigrants have followed his brave example over the course of more than five centuries. Today, his legacy endures in every immigrant who seeks opportunity and a better life.
The second reason is that on March 14, 1891, Italian Americans hit a low point in the long, arduous hazing period that every immigrant group seems condemned to suffer before emerging into the status of respectable American-hood. That year, an angry New Orleans mob lynched 11 Italian immigrants after they were cleared of murder charges. Perhaps the largest lynching in US history, it was condoned by the New York Times and a future president, Teddy Roosevelt.
Italian Americans desperately needed a hero to stand for them, someone to symbolize their contributions to their adopted land. The following year, Italian Americans in New York City erected a statue to Columbus at what became *Columbus Circle and inscribed it, “To the world, he gave a world.”

It’s time to stop scapegoating Christopher Columbus

Christopher Columbus was never a slave owner or a slave trader during his lifetime. His discoveries of the Americas was and is the greatest discovery of the world's history.

Columbus' first voyage was one of the most important ever undertaken through uncharted waters and the unknown.

... I would like to verify the witness's statement. For years now a growing number of my constituents have been of Italian decent, and I've come to know them well. They have honored me with their support and with their friendship. Indeed, I can proudly say that some of my very best friends are Italian-Americans...

...these hearings on the Mafia are in no way whatsoever a slur upon the great Italian people. Because I can state from my own knowledge and experience that Italian-Americans are among the most loyal, most law-abiding, patriotic, hard working American citizens in this land. And it would be a shame, Mr. Chairman, if we allowed a few rotten apples to give a bad name to the whole barrel. Because from the time of the great Christopher Columbus up through the time of Enrico Fermi right up until the present day, Italian-Americans have been pioneers in building and defending our great nation. They are the salt of the earth, and they're one of the backbones of this country.

Native Americans were animals. They had no country.

To have a country you need to have a navy. Whoever controls the sea controls the land.

Get your head out of your ass.

**mikejamm** · 10-12-20, 01:19 PM

Another fuk’in douche bag who discovered nothing. You can’t “discover” something already occupied by native Americans.

Fuk Columbus! The indians should have mounted his head on a stick as soon as he hit the shoreline.
