John Leguizamo celebrates Indigenous Peoples’ Day by ‘landing the monster Columbus’ – Twitchy
Hey everyone, We were going to apologize for missing Indigenous Peoples’ Day on Sunday, but it turns out that is today, Monday, October 13th. Rep. Mark Pocan (he/him/her) of Wisconsin recognized the day by posting an acknowledgment of his state’s grounds and urging us to remember that while we cannot erase the past, we can acknowledge it and work toward justice. what are you going to do? Return the land, or just open school board and city council meetings with land approvals?
Today we celebrate National Indigenous Peoples’ Day, in recognition of the rich cultures, history, and continued resilience of Indigenous communities and indigenous peoples.

It’s Columbus Day

The reason we think it’s Sunday is because actor John Leguizamo wished us a happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day on Sunday and posted a video explaining the truth about Christopher Columbus’ monster.
Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day! Take down Columbus’ monster! pic.twitter.com/W8ywuZRfzA

John is sad that European culture has been replaced by a culture that practices cannibalism and human sacrifice.
Cheer up, John, you can still eat your meat. We won’t stop you.

Hey John, You’re so caught up in hyperbole that you don’t even realize, neither Columbus, nor John Leguizamo, nor Hollywood, nor a career, will ever be able to turn into the pretentious idiot you’ve become.

There are no “indigenous” people in the Americas. Some people happened to travel here sooner than others.

There may be a tribe or two on this planet stuck without the culture to draw from, John. How about you go find one of these and tell them your foolishness?
Happy Columbus Day, you pathetic little whiner.

We did not steal the land, we conquered it. We took it and still hold it by force of arms. It’s ours now. pic.twitter.com/jW1H1CsZAA

Long live Columbus. The reason we’re all here. The reason you have a device to send your post to this app also exists because of colonialism. Get over it.

Columbus was good. Colonialism was a net good for the whole world.
Your profession is a product of colonialism.

Liberals want to “work for justice” with empty gestures like replacing Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples’ Day. They never return the land.
You’re as stupid as it gets.
History lesson. Columbus did not set out to find the New World. He thought he would discover a faster route to Asia.
It created the beginning of Western civilization in a place that was primitive and 500 years behind the rest of the world.

The Atlantic’s Connor Friedersdorf will not celebrate Columbus Day or Indigenous Peoples’ Day. It makes the case for Explorer’s Day.
President Joe Biden has managed this national divide by celebrating Columbus Day and Indigenous Peoples’ Day in separate White House announcements. But instead of dividing into competing civic holidays, Americans should come together in a consensual celebration: International Explorers’ Day.
If the word Explorer It makes you think, fondly or angrily, of a group of 15th- and 16th-century European sailors β Vasco da Gama, Juan Ponce de LeΓ³n, Ferdinand Magellan β and you’re thinking too narrowly. The desire for exploration drove the first humans to leave Africa, the nomads who crossed the Bering Strait, and the sailors who settled the Polynesian islands. It was piloted by Leif Erikson, Ibn Battuta, Cheng He, Amelia Earhart, Jacques Cousteau, Yuri Gagarin, and Neil Armstrong.
We will have no objection to World Explorer’s Day. Just don’t save it for Columbus Day.
