Should New York City ban Columbus Day?

Like every year, BRTD complains about Columbus Day.

The majority of states no longer observe Columbus Day, so I guess getting rid of it wouldn't be too bad. Now that white assimilation happened we don't need to give a certain group of whites their own holiday.

RIP St. Patrick's Day

St. Patrick's Day isn't an official holiday by government standards. Columbus Day is.

Columbus was a man who started the biggest genocide the history knows. The Black Lion awaits.

What is this "black lion"? Is it a terrorist group?

Whatever white activists might say, the case against Columbus Day isn't aimed at the particular actions of Cristoforo Colombo. The case against Columbus Day is aimed at the fact that he's an unambiguous symbol of the conquest of the indigenous peoples of the Americas, many of whom are American citizens, who deserve a modicum of respect. Again, America is a "multi-nation" state, which is composed of non-indigenous people and various indigenous peoples. This holiday effectively celebrates the forcibly conquest of the later, which is pretty repulsive. Columbus Day simply can't be reconciled with American commitments to the Nez Pearce or the Shoshone or the Crow etc.

Columbus Day controversies may be symbolic but sometimes symbols matter and the attachment to this particular symbol represents the insidious ways that many Americans view the original cultures of this continent, who are either romanticized or treated as barbarians in need of civilizations. They're still alive.

Is Thanksgiving a problem then?

I think it's a problem but Thanksgiving is held to be too sacred to be removed. Columbus Day is pretty insignificant, which is why it should be removed and replaced with: a. Enrico Fermi Day b. Indigenous People's Day.

I think reservations should have the option to ignore Thanksgiving.

What is the problem with Thanksgiving, though? It's not anti-Native American, or if it was, it isn't anymore.
