    We should not even mention Columbus. Slave trader and disgusting person. Not to be revered.

      Let us rename Seattle too because chief Seattle owned slaves and participated in slave raids.

      It will always be Columbus Day no matter what changes are made to disrespect Christopher Columbus as a great explorer and navigator.  Columbus was part of America’s and western civilization’s  history that should not be forgotten.  Factual history cannot be erased.  The first indigenous people migrated to America from Siberia.

    Indeed. Not many can pass the moral purity test. Many forget that while they’re pointing fingers, they pretend nobody can point fingers at them.

      Your comment is deflection of the argumentum absurdum variety.
