LETS DO AWAY WITH COLUMBUS DAY
Editorial
Sure, as children we all loved Columbus Day. It created a long weekend after just a mind-numbing month of school. As adults however, our perpectives change. When we investigate the man we celebrate, we now have to wonder, why do we insist on celebrating a mercenary that unleashed untold horrors upon the population of North America.
Christopher Columbus is responsible for some of the greatest tragedies the North American continent has ever witnessed. If you're squeamish, stop here. The pictures below are graphic and not for those with weak stomachs.
These are just two of the tragedies wrote by director Chris Columbus. Isn't it about time we expose this monster rather than honoring him?
