Twenty five years ago, ahead of its time as usual, the city of Berkeley renamed Columbus Day as Indigenous Peoples Day.

Los Angeles, what took you so long?

This week, despite heartfelt pleas by some Italian-Americans to preserve the annual commemoration of Christopher Columbus, who was born in Genoa, the council did what can only be described as the right thing: It copied Berkeley.

Henceforth in Los Angeles, there will be no day devoted solely to the achievements of Columbus, who was both the discoverer of the New World and the catalyst for the destruction of Native American people and their cultures in the centuries that followed.

Why should there by an "Indigenous Peoples Day"? Would you want a "European Descendants Day?

Do not mistake my posting this article as support. Sadly, the left seems to want to change history. Surprised they aren't calling for reparations. Probably be next.

When government gains the power to control the use of private property, it becomes possible for the politically dominant to profit by high commodity prices using government regulation to constrain supply. One merely drives competitors out of business by manipulating the perception of risk to a land use preferred by a democratic majority. - Mark Edward Vande Pol

Those reparations should include mandatory one-way airfare back to the homeland of their choice upon acceptance of those funds.

Doubt these "Indigenous Americans" know what there homeland is. Siberia? Maybe or maybe not. Some think they came via Southeast Asia, i.e., Malayasia.

Doubt if any of the Indigenous Americans use the term to describe themselves. Normally they prefer to use their tribe.

The Viking were the first in North America. Columbus was honored for placing a flag and opening the way. He is not to blame for the ways the Spanish and prople from Europe treated the native Americans . The sheeple have got to get a life and move on, after all it was 525 years ago. YOU cannot change the past by changing a name.

In the name of White guilt and long-deserved European supplication....and, above all, to be liked! You know - by, uhh....the (((right people))).

And on behalf of the people who are going to hate you no matter what you give up - and well after you're dead besides.

“With the exception of Whites, the rule among the peoples of the world, whether residing in their homelands or settled in Western democracies, is ethnocentrism and moral particularism: they stick together and good means what is good for their ethnic group."

lol, whoever is doing all this trampling of civil rights needs to knock it off, now! It's mean!

This bullshit was just one battle, replacing Western Civilization with global Marxism is the goal.

At least you'll finally get to vote Democrat without all those hordes of living demanding voter ID.

Saw a statue of a black Buffalo soldier. They were used to kill native Americans. What do you do with that one? LOL

If I had the time and inclination I'd set about getting some antifa started on digging up those "shameful memorials", then call the NAACP. Then maybe some popcorn...
