...was apparently !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! from an article that the Huffington Post ran back in 2010. Right down to the part lauding Bartolome de las Casas. I don't know; maybe it's all true, and maybe it's bunk. But Columbus and other so-called explorers have been coming under attack for years now. Don't get me started on Hernán Cortés.

I suppose Columbus Day could become Native American Day, but that's crazy talk.

That's kinda-sorta what Thanksgiving is, right? They could have wiped out the Pilgrams but chose not to.

And now I'm reminded of the Simpsons episode that featured a Native American casino manager named "Crazy Talk."

an internet cartoonist cribbing opinions from the internet? Now I have seen everything.
Seriously though, funny man who is starting to produce less funny and more controversial stuff all the time.

I thought it was a known thing that Columbus was not exactly someone to be praising.

Either way, it does a good job of illustrating how stupid it is to celebrate a country being "discovered" by somebody when there were already inhabitants there when it was "discovered"

Well the Redskins were featured on Sunday Night Football. Thats close enough, right?
(I am, of course, jesting with this. I am not, nor have I ever been racist.)
