I'm guessing because nobody cares about Columbus Day parades.

Because their organization has a laser focus on black issues, which doesn't include Colombus Day.

Yeah, if we did what some historians have suggested and replaced it with a day celebrating Bartolomé de las Casas, blacks would actually have more direct cause for complaint:

tbf, Casas changed his mind on this once African slavery actually came to North America iirc.

5)  Just stop, not everything has to be a controversy, nobody cares that much about Columbus Day.  Yet because it's such a boring, nondescript holiday, every columnist jumps to write about the "controversy" for lack of better topics, even though it's stupid.
Then why are you so mad?
