Here's something for your council to vote on: How about taking your stinking excuse for an American city to some other universe, you Western civilization-destroyers?
“We discovered Columbus, lost on our shores, sick, destitute, and wrapped in rags. We nourished him to health, and the rest is history,” Lakota activist Bill Means told Minnesota Public Radio News.“He represents the mascot of American colonialism in the western hemisphere. And so it is time that we change a myth of history.”City officials renamed the government holiday Indigenous Peoples Day, a move that drew cheers from Native American residents in attendance even though City Council President Barbara Johnson mentioned that some of her Italian-American constituents would be offended by “the city’s snub of the Genoa-born explorer.”The second Monday in October will remain a day off for select workers in Minneapolis.-
Seriously, I have always enjoyed my visits to Minneapolis, but I think I've visited there for the last time.
