Kamala: Change Columbus Day to ‘Indigenous Peoples' Day'‐ US ‘Scene of a Crime'
[Breitbart] Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) said on Monday that she supports changing Columbus Day to "Indigenous Peoples’ Day" in part because Americans have to remember that the United States is "the scene of a crime" when it comes to "institutionalized racism."

At a town hall event in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, a questioner asked Harris, the 2020 presidential candidate, if she would support an "Indigenous Peoples’ Day" at the federal level because the voices of indigenous Americans are being "erased and marginalized."

Harris said she would support the change, arguing that it matters because Americans have to "remember history."

"We have to remember our history. Uncomfortable, to your point about truths, though it may make us," she said.

Harris then talked about her anti-lynching bill that recently passed the Senate and said it "finally got passed" in 2019 partly because "people did not want to deal and accept, and most importantly, admit that we are the scene of a crime when it comes to what we did with slavery and Jim Crow and institutionalized racism in this country."

#1 We are seeing these people for whom they actually are.

#2 Fine, we'll agree to do it. We'll celebrate the indigenous's people practices of slavery, human sacrifice and genocide. But she and her comrades lose their US citizenship and get deported back to Africa or whatever craphole they came from.

#5 Then Kamala can get the F out. She is but the product of the latest wave of unwanted invaders.

#6 Someone should ask her if she knew ahead of time about Smollett's faked hate crime and was it linked to her anti-lynching legislation.

What do you think?

#8 Italians should have made Columbus day a drinking holiday and then everyone would pretend to be Italian for a day and nobody would dare try to besmirch it (see St Patrick and Cinco De Mayo for how it is done right).

Oh, and Kamala, Columbus didn't step foot in the USA.
