Today, Monday, October 9th, we honor the Native Americans, the original settlers of this land. Today we say Happy Indigenous People's Day. Now, I do not understand why this is partisan, but it has come to my attention that the Texas GOP is not saying Happy Indigenous People's Day, they're celebrating Columbus Day with their little seal of approval. So, alright, fine.
If you want to remember Christopher Columbus, let's go ahead and do that. Let's not forget that Christopher Columbus uh kidnapped a carib woman and gave her to his crew to rape. Another area, a member of uh his crew would publicly cut off the ears of Indians in order to shock them into submission. Christopher Columbus kidnapped and enslaved more than a thousand people
in certain areas, and 50,000 Indians committed mass murder rather than comply with the Spanish. Don't forget that settlers under Columbus, they sold nine and ten year old girls into sexual slavery. So, yeah. Uh happy Christopher Columbus Day, GOP. But happy to who exactly?
