Is there really a Columbus Day event? ... If so could you cancel it or change the name?
If you are going to have a Columbus Day event it would be nice to know if you are going to have a Hitler's Birthday Event as well.
Though I understand that the Germans are well known for their attempted genocide of the Jews they should not be exporting celebrations that support Genocide in the Americas.
Minneapolis and Seattle have both outlawed Columbus Day and made the day Indigenous Day.
Celebration of true heroes ... the Indigenous ... would be a better route than celebrating a punk like Columbus. Real heroism was found in people who refused to give up their language and traditions in spite of the disease spreading, murder, rape and torture that Columbus and his European followers carried with them.
Simply because the Indigenous of Europe were willing to give up their languages and cultures to the Catholic Church and its followers (which considered Jews responsible for the crucifixion of Jesus until 1964) doesn't mean that brave Natives here in the United States were willing to give up their languages and culture.
The basic problem with the event if it is to occurs is that simple Native concepts such as "Mitakuye Owasin" are not recognized by Europeans who have better tools but are an inferior race as it concerns values and humanity.
Columbus committed Genocide against the Natives of the "New World" in the same way Hitler sought to commit genocide against the Jews and many others in Europe.
Columbus did not discover the Americas; people were here before him. Although none of the people here were as advanced technologically nor prepared for a diseased group of Europeans to bring the litany of psychological and physiological diseases that Europeans carried, the people here were more advanced in some sciences (the potato came from the Inca) and familial relationships.
Could you folks over at InnoGames please not continue the exportation of the false concept that Columbus was anything more than an idiot who didn't know where he was ... that he didn't discover anything (even from the Eurocentric perspective the Norse arrived in the Americas before Columbus) ... and he was the first in a long line of diseased explorers that came from a continent that has little concept that anyone else on the planet Earth is human other than themselves?
