“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.
Yeah, I'd like to see some more on that one as well. How exactly is this indicative of 'liberals hating their country'? Bear in mind that, along with everything else, Christopher Columbus never set foot in what is now the US. [Reply]

Hard to believe those are actually the words of a sitting US congressman. But then, I remembered he's the same butthole who demanded to be sworn in holding a Koran. The people in Minny are shameless for the utter turds they elect. [Reply]
LOL, FUCK Minnesota, and ESPECIALLY Minneapolis! Give it back to either the Canadians or Mexicans (I'm sure it too was once their's!!). If neither want it, fucking burn that shit-hole to the ground. [Reply]

I don't know about the Canadians or Mexicans, but I do know that it once belonged to the Great Sioux Nation. Why don't you give them a call? [Reply]

Give it back to the "indigenous people". Start by surrendering your property and paying reparations from your 401k. Then, and only then, will you be cleansed of all your unrighteousness. [Reply]
