Indigenous People’s Day - Kamala says yes!

The Indigenous people got their land by killing the previous Indigenous people.
Who got their land by killing the previous Indigenous people.
And so on.
Like it or not, bloodshed is pretty much how countries get land.
A president should know this.
Pretending that the previous Indigenous people are innocent is weak.
Ms. Harris is an idiot.

At least they were ritualistic about it.

Uhm, there’s no such thing as indigenous people in the Americas.

British settlers and their descendants kill millions of native Americans - Not to worry, it's the natural order of things.
British government places a tax on tea - COLONIAL ASSPLODE!

I don’t think it was so much the settlers as it was infectious disease and cheap whisky and rum.
In any case though I think the Natives tended to fair somewhat better under the French as overlords than any of the other European powers.

By the way, I think the holiday should be called ‘Columbus Meets Indigenous Peoples Day’. Historically accurate and everybody gets a shout out.
Except for Leif Erikson. Instead of the Native American brinksmanship and in-fighting or the European slave trade, all he wanted to do in North America was get wasted.
And still he gets left out. Our values suck.

Whenever I hear the name I always think people are talking about a Scandinavian heavy metal guitarist.

Just be thankful his name wasn’t Ywngie Malmsteen.

They weren’t colonizers, just undocumented migrants.

Were the OG Leif Wrikson around today that's entirely what he'd be doing.
