"Earlier this week I got chastised for calling Monday 'Columbus Day' by a female acquaintance. Just makes me feel guilty, sad, and like I suck."

"You see it every year on Columbus Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day, and Thanksgiving. People flocking to social media to post their obnoxious and condescending info-graphics trying to absolutely suck the joy out of the holiday by convincing us all that they're problematic and enjoying them is wrong. "
"Columbus day has very little to do with the man himself, but was first recognized in response to a mass lynching of Italian Americans in New Orleans in the late 1800s."

"White guilt has been THE thing for liberals for the past two decades. We changed the name of Columbus Day, removed mascots from sports teams and syrup bottles, stopped calling native americans "Indians", land acknowledgements before every speech, donate money to reservations, etc etc."
