Columbus Day

Today was Columbus Day, The celebration of "discovery" of the Americas by Christopher Columbus. He arrives, the genocide of the natives begins, what is left of them is stripped of all their land and given the most useless camps scattered all over USA to call home, and later in the year (a few years later) by Thanksgiving we'll be celebrating our "achievements" with a few natives still left alive, over a turkey dinner. Then after decades of misery, they'll finally figure out a way to earn a living and prosper, but we will find a way to tax that money too. Don't you feel like celebrating now?

what a suprise!!!
Arnold praised Hitler, he believes in Genocide.
I have been to the Native American reservations in California, and I saw that how intentionally government didn't do any economical developmental efforts there. Morales were so low and drug and alcohol consumption was worse than ghettos and projects.
Casinos were breath of fresh air to Native American tribes, they are now able to buy themselve what they as an American deserved.
And now history is repeating itself; another white man fresh off the boat, ironically german speaking,is trying his hand at a modern genocide..
Southern California pay the price of your stupidity.
