        Bullshit. Celebrate America? MLK Day, July 4, Memorial Day, Labor Day, Flag Day. Not Killed Native Americans Day. Come on.

        Does Germany celebrate Hitler? Is Cortez celebrated? 8 Million+ slaughtered by Columbus. Celebrate America without Columbus.

        BS. Nobody "celebrates" Columbus day & our "celebration of America" is in July. Trash article written by a partisan hack to dump on the left

        First Nation Peoples joined by Black folks have been protesting for ages. White folks take notice only when white allies lend support.

        #USA being hollowed out from within by the 'entitled', and the disparate masses of dispossessed. Social media #war being lost, as well.

        Exposing truth is often uncomfortable. Especially when it has been overlooked & a narrow history is perpetuated for long periods of time

        We celebrate a slave trader and murderer. Hold Up History has to be rewritten, has to be altered too many lies.

        The hottest of takes completely wiping out the fact that Columbus was a monster. Celebrating America should entail celebrating its origins of existing peoples (or Leif Erickson), not a murdering, mutilating slave trader & McGurn can pound sand.

        Martin Luther King was a womanizing sexual predator with ties to the brutal, murdering Communists. That’s another holiday that must go.
