We should NOT celebrate Columbus Day

2013-10-13

Reference: Columbus Day

Jill: "TIL Columbus didn't discover America nor did he or anyone else at the time think the world was flat. He was an awful awful man. He tortured people, raped and sold little girls, and directed the killing of thousands of people."

John: "So?"

Jill: "So we should probably stop celebrating Columbus Day and maybe consider renaming Columbus Avenue in San Francisco back to Montgomery Street."

John: "But it's tradition. I remember learning 'In 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue'"

Jill: "Actually the holiday is only from 1930s and the street had its name changed in 1909"

John: "Seems silly to rename them now"

Jill: "What if it they were Hilter Day and Hitler Avenue?"
