Every year

Yeah, there's a push to change what that day actual celebrates. It's done on purpose because Columbus sucks.

love this gimmick

There's a local theater which shows The Shining on the weekend nearest CD / IPD every year.

The inidigenous people practiced human sacrifice so celebrating them is pretty problematic too

They weren't one giant monolithic culture. There were many different indigenous cultures. Some did certain things, some did other things

My mom gets some religious magazine in the mail and the cover of the latest one is about how the darn godless heathens are cancelling good guy Columbus.

But quite a lot of them, from the Incans, to the Olmecs, to the Aztecs, and to the Mayans sacrificed their captured victims. They really were godless heathens who needed to be wiped from the face of the earth. The earth does not miss such a violent culture.

Their violence went all the way to 100, and your ability to justify and defend them is currently at a 0.

Not a free-speech sort of website, after all.

Who would have imagined that condoning the genocide of Native Americans might fall afoul of the ToS

How many hundreds of individual tribes were there?

How many millions of Native Americans have existed?

Ok.

How many Christopher Columbuses have there been?

Just the one, and he was a sack of shit.

So no, this isn't similar at all you illiterate fucks, since I have to include @257Loner as well.

Mr. Literate, if you brushed up on your literature, you'd find the people we were specifically discussing had quite a violent history. Waiting on your defense...

Hundreds.

Of.

Tribes.

Each with different practices.

Please don't breed.

Calling violent people violent is not racist. It's the truth. And turning a blind eye to violence is cowardice.

Are you under the impression the day is not celebrating the general indigenous peoples of America?

I was originally responding to something Zikten said, but it got moderated.

Edit:
Broadly speaking, I'm in favor of indigenous peoples day.

I guess calling stupid people stupid is acceptable as well.

So now that you're going to get banned, can you really do some interesting trolling now?

This "I can't fucking read" thing is played out.

I'm not stupid. I'm not going to get banned. I'm not going to troll. I am very literate. Though you're very insulting.

As a Native American man it bothers me more that the US was celebrating a verified rapist and giving people the day off for it than having a day that celebrates my people.

Also, TC is obviously trolling so fuck that dude.

You're obviously incapable of discussing real history in a serious or respectful manner. Go play a video game or something, kid.

He called me a kid you guys

It's getting real

By the way, would you like to point out the specific "tribes" so we can know why you're crying, or are you also a coward?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_sacrifice_in_Maya_culture
Human sacrifice is depicted in Late Classic artwork and sometimes involved torture; sacrifice was generally via decapitation. At times the sacrificial victim was dressed as a deer. The intended sacrifice may have been publicly displayed and paraded before the act of sacrifice itself. Images of human sacrifice were often sculpted into the steps of Maya architecture and such stairways may have been the site of periodic sacrifice.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_trophy_taking_in_Mesoamerica
Most of the ancient civilizations of Mesoamerica such as the Olmec, Maya, Mixtec, Zapotec and Aztec cultures practiced some kind of taking of human trophies during warfare. Captives taken during war would often be taken to their captors' city-states where they would be ritually tortured and sacrificed. These practices are documented by a rich material of iconographic and archaeological evidence from across Mesoamerica.

Cool, one.

Now that we've established that one is enough to write off an entire race, white people gotta go because of Christopher Columbus and his genocide.

Funny how that works out.

Yeah pretty crazy coincidence.

Read a political history book, and you'll find a little chapter called "wars". That chapter can be found in the history books of all peoples on earth.
