“We are sending a signal across the nation and to the global community that we make these changes in the spirit of truth-telling,” Council Member Alondra Cano said ahead of the Council meeting.
“Now that we have established Indigenous People's Day, every child -- whether that child is native or whether that child is not -- will learn the truth about where America really comes from," added U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison.

Can you imagine if I broke into your house, planted a listopencil flag in your living room, killed you and your family, then sold your house to another family whose descendants celebrated Listopencil Day once a year? [Reply]

Someone explain why I should rage over this. Rage keeps me warm....this feels lime a cold issue..
So all the merry old Columbus Day customs are just bullshit to you? Did you grow up in North Korea, you soulless zombie?
The singing of Columbus Day songs... the laughter of children... the traditional Columbus Day feast... the raping of widowed mothers... you know, the festive heart-warming Columbus Days of old. That shit means nothing to you???
Minneapolis would take your childhood (and all of ours) and have it not exist. Is that what you fucking want?!

I'm pretty sure the Indians in North America had wars between the different tribes and stole each others women and raped them and made them slaves. Murdered the little boys too. What happened to the American Indians was a travesty but let's not pretend they were living in utopia. [Reply]

I don't think you would do it if I taught you how to plant corn first. [Reply]

True. I rarely go to Minneapolis. Not that the burbs are better.
