    Default Why is Columbus Day still celebrated in the US?

    I know this topic might have been brought up in the past.. but why is Columbus respected in the US at all? He was never even in the US at all to start.

    because they been doing it so long they can't change

    allot needs to be changed and organized

    "See, I will send you the prophet Elijah before that great and dreadful day of the LORD comes.
    He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers; or else I will come and strike the land with a curse."

    everybody doesn't respect columbus.

    he's celebrated for what he accomplished for america (capitalism).

    Fuck Christophor Columbus! He force the indian race into slavery, took their resources, women, and damn near destroyed the race of indians. Everybody think America is this great country, but they don't know the history of how America became the "great" nation.

    I thought everyone did know that but just pretend they don't.

    Truthfully I didn't know it was "celebrated" or was even a day of observance in the U.S.

    Thats disgusting.

    Actually, it was disease and germs that really killed off the native american population. Without them, colonization may never have gotten this far. Read 'Guns, Germs and Steel' by jared diamond.

    why do parents let their children dress up as fictional murderers,monsters,and beasts - every october 31 ?

    its a custom that know one wanted to question

    they were wrong all this time and they are just now realizing it


    give them time
