the Amerindians who Christopher Columbus's troops fought against were ruthless & that was a different period of time. If people want to celebrate Columbus day, then let them do so. Montezuma or Moctezuma was a ruthless Aztec leader who has towns named after him, yet most Amerindian groups aren't asking that towns named after this leader be removed. Let's have the same justness for Columbus who did far less, because most of the Columbus Day bashing is often based on 1/2 truths & fiction
What's even worse is that it is nothing more than a three day weekend, hence the changing of the date to allow for that. And to have more sales at the malls.
Of course, that goes for any holiday. Even religious ones to an extent.
im white and my heart and brain has been bleeding since i was a child. since i learned of slavery, since i saw soldier blue, since i read my first bit of history, since i found out what was going on in south africa when i first watched a news report in '87, since i realised ive been born into,brought up in and told to be thankful for a society built on slavery,genocide,rape and invasion, all the things ive been taught to think of as evil. no wonder racism and madness rule so many minds.
We continue to do the same thing through out the world, waging war and placing our troops through out the world, it's a cancer that has not stopped spreading.

@Koolvedge right when i go to a basket ball game or somthing an they make everyone stand an sing the national anthem i eather go to the bathroom or not stand at all when the people im with ask me why im not standing i say not to get into a long story at the moment i just say i have a bum knee or ankle screw this country
i've never understood why americans are that proud of America. it's not even their land but they put the hands to their heart an sing a puff piece to their glory. really strange
Nicely done video--most people are ignorant of our true history. Check out the book "Lies My Teach Told Me" by Loewen for other "historical inaccuracies" that our children are taught.
You wouldn't even exist if Columbus didn't discover America at that specific date, your white guilt makes me sick.

@ sptaznut maybe its because your country, like most western countries, is run by greed obsessed, homicidal psychopaths :-)

I dont even see how we could say that this excuse for a country has any honor. a pile of barbarians masquerading as human.

It's a shame this video has Ward Churchill in it, I just assume anything he says is a lie. Hopefully they can edit him out in future releases....
