Lorenzo_2003 10/14/19 11:14:15 AM #58:	Columbus is definitely a controversial figure. On the one hand, we know about the atrocities he and his crew committed. But on the other, he did open up the route to the so-called New World from Europe, which is the precursor to what we now have today in the Americas. This is fact, regardless of his navigation errors. Leif Erikson beat him to it, but there was no lasting impact achieved, as far as we know. I don't see why you would celebrate Erikson, if you're not going to celebrate Columbus, considering neither was first anyway, what with all the tribes people who were there already. --- ... <cite>Lorenzo_2003 posted [p:928749792] in Should Col...

Specifically Irish, kinda forget how real that hate was President Benjamin Harrison proclaimed it as a one-time national celebration in 1892 in the wake of a bloody New Orleans lynching that took the lives of 11 Italian immigrants. The proclamation was part of a broader attempt to quiet outrage among Italian-Americans, and a diplomatic blowup over the murders that brought Italy and the United States to the brink of war.[9] During the anniversary in 1892, teachers, preachers, poets and politicians used rituals to teach ideals of patriotism. These rituals took themes such as citizenship boundaries, the importance of loyalty to the nation, and the celebration of social progress.[10][11][12] Many Italian-Americans observe Columbus Day as a celebration of their heritage, and the first such celebration was held in New York City on October 12, 1866.[13] The day was first enshrined as a legal holiday in the United States through the lobbying of Angelo Noce, a first generation Italian, in Denver.[14] The first statewide holiday was proclaimed by Colorado governor Jesse F. McDonald in 1905, and it was made a statutory holiday in 1907.[15][16] In April 1937, as a result of lobbying by the Knights of Columbus and New York City Italian leader Generoso Pope, Congress and President Franklin Delano Roosevelt proclaimed October 12 be a federal holiday under the name Columbus Day.[15][17][18][19] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbus_Day#History <cite>Phewfus posted [p:928758359] in Should Col...

Yes, history shouldn't be censored. but what if history makes us feel bad? can we just limit it to the parts that make us feel good? maybe not mention things that would bring shame to the character? Reminds me of my high school World History teacher, who kept promising to tell us "the one happy story in History" for the first half of the class, then dropped it. On the last real day of class (you know, aside from the ones during exams where you don't do anything and probably go home anyway), a girl asks him about it, and he says "oh yeah..." And then continues talking about whatever he was talking about lol. --- 53 LIII 0b110101 p16 0x35 <cite>DevsBro posted [p:928791240] in Should Col...
