Why do we celebrate this holiday of a man who's criminal and cruel history was rival and duplicated by the likes of Hitler. People we need to realize that this man came into a country that wasn't his and stole its identity and resources for his own gain. He tried to kill off its indigenious peoples and currupt this lands resources. Then he was the main person setting the stage for the past and current human situation known as slavery. He raped women killed children and was certifiably insane!! WHY! Do we celebrat this man.
We should take this day to honor the indigenous peoples of this land that we find ourselves in as our home. We should celebrate the native peoples triumphs, heartaches, and mourn their tragedies not celebrate the man that brought these circumstances to their shores. We should remember also that this man made the way for slavery and paved the path through the waters to what is now our home not by our choosing but by our ancestors part in a pre-determined plan of hatred, destitution, hard-labor, and robbery. Lets please as a people just think about what this man has done to shape our country and not in a positive way, but in a way that still haunts us even today.
