SFO Archive Forums - Happy murderous pirate day

well before i go into this everyone who doesnt knowby now should go to this link: -here- and read up. I guess i just wanted to hear peoples oppinons about the celebration of this guy. And i guess i also wanted to tell poeple how much bull poop it is that amercia is being fed this rap that columbus was "the founder of amercia" and all that other bull poop. I mean im sure everyone knows by now hes not.

but if thats the case why in the hell do we still celeberate him? I mean he was a murderer/slave trader/pirate the list goes on. Now im not native american but one of my good freinds are, Him along with hundreds of families have made numerous petitions for columbus day to be voided in our school year in our district but to no avail,why?

Tell me, why is it that poeple like native americans have to deal with this dumbass holiday every year?

Theres a lot of bullpoop thats wrong with america, but to actually have to miss out on learning for a day because some guy who inslaved your forefathers is dead to me garbage, expecially when they discuise it as a "privledge".

meh, maybe im overreacting but in my eyes this monday (the holiday date) is goimng to be a crock and im going to go protest with my friend and his native american family.

EDIT: wrong forum, howbout a mod move it for me =/
