There is no path. Beyond the scope of light, beyond the reach of Dark... what could possibly await us? And yet, we seek it, insatiably... Such is our fate.

We've been honoring a man for getting lost then pillaging an entire culture. It's time the pillaged get some respect.

South Park already did this episode last week about white people being ashamed of being white being stupid.

Me neither. Just make a new holiday. I just read that many Italian Americans are not happy and says this tramples an their ethnic pride and is culturally insensitive.

Just make another holiday. Easy.

Yeah but he did it first. It was like 1937 they had time to reevaluate it

Literally the whole point of the rename is to squash Columbus so they'd never go for it.

No, he didn't open up the Americas for European colonization first. His efforts were repelled and whatever few settlements existed quickly vanished. And, after his failure, the knowledge wasn't even spread in Europe.

Oh? Then why didn't Europe know about it by the time Columbus set out? For discoveries to matter, that information needs to be shared. Thereby the person to DOCUMENT something first is what really matters.
