Celebrating Indigenous People's Day

| Hello, I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance. | |
| Did you celebrate Columbus Day? | |
| Well, enjoy it while you can. | |
| A lot of cities don't celebrate it anymore. | |
| This year, even the city of Columbus, Ohio, which is named after him, said it just couldn't afford a celebration. | |
| The fashionable thing is to celebrate Indigenous People's Day instead. | |
| Recently, Los Angeles, Cincinnati, Boise, and Detroit all dropped Columbus for an Indigenous People's Day. | |
| When Somerville, Massachusetts announced the switch in September, Mayor Joe Curtatoni explained that, quote, Columbus Day is a relic of an outdated and oversimplified version of history. | |
| He said he's Italian-American, and he'd like to be proud of Columbus, but that would be like Southerners being proud of the Confederacy. | |
| Well, did you hear that, Governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo? | |
| Mr. Cuomo, also Italian-American, says that the statue of Columbus in New York City will stay for as long as he's in office. | |
| And the mayor of New York, Bill de Blasio, yet another Italian-American, is determined to keep the statue too. | |
| He says Columbus is completely different from, say, Robert E. Lee. | |
| I don't see why. | |
| If Italians can have their genocidal, racist, disease-spreading, imperialist, slave-driver, why can't Southerners have their Christian soldier? | |
| Mr. Cuomo and Mr. de Blasio will learn soon enough that you can't carve out exceptions for any dead white man. | |
| Statues of Columbus have been taking a real beating. | |
| Here's the one in Central Park in New York. | |
| Note the blood on his hands. | |
| The one in Bridgeport, Connecticut has kill the colonizer along with the red treatment. | |
| Here's Columbus in Buffalo, New York in Columbus Park. | |
| And here he is in downtown Detroit with a tomahawk stuck in his head. | |
| Here's more red paint in Houston and also in Richmond, Virginia. | |
| I think you get the idea. | |
| And don't worry, it's not anti-Italian prejudice. | |
| People go after Norse explorers, too. | |
| In Minnesota, Leif Erikson's statue had the words Discoverer of America crossed off the base. | |
| In Philadelphia, a statue of Thorfin Karlsfenny that had stood there for nearly a century was pitched into the river. | |
| Karlsfenny was the father of the first white child born in North America. | |
| There's now a movement to junk the entire federal Columbus Day holiday and whoop up indigenous peoples instead. | |
| And have you noticed that whenever something honors a white person and gets abolished, it's always replaced with the opposite? | |
| When you ditch Columbus, you celebrate Indians. | |
| When you take down Robert E. Lee, you put up Frederick Douglass. | |
| If Andy Jackson's got to go, you have to replace him with Harriet Tubman. | |
| Franklin Roosevelt established the Columbus holiday in 1937. | |
| In a 1940 statement he said, "Columbus began a great movement of people | |
| Yeah, back in those days, immigrants meant Europeans. | |
| But for the Columbus haters, everything that has happened since 1492 is a disaster. | |
| Renaming Columbus Day, Indigenous Peoples' Day, It implies that white people should never have come here. | |
| But someone was going to take over. | |
| The place was still in the Stone Age. | |
| Do Columbus haters think the country would be better off if the Chinese or the Turks had moved in? | |
| Europeans, white people, turned a wilderness into the richest, most powerful nation on earth. | |
| And what's our reward? | |
| We're supposed to put the country up for grabs. | |
| Here's the hip new slogan. | |
| No one is illegal on stolen land. | |
| You see, it was very bad for us to take the land from the Indians, but it's good for Nigerians and Vietnamese to take it from us. | |
| Can someone explain that to me? | |
| So, what happens when we dump Columbus Day and celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day instead? | |
| Are we going to think pious thoughts about the Blackfeet and the Kickapoo? | |
| Well, A few people in headdresses are going to be trotted out for a parade, but the new holiday has different purposes. | |
| The first, of course, is to take a poke at yet another dead white man. | |
| But the second is to take a poke at all white Americans by telling them the country doesn't belong to them. | |
| And the very same people who want to boot Columbus are the ones who think the country belongs to anyone from anywhere who can manage to sneak in. | |
| They want to celebrate Indians, And then stuff the country with Haitians and Pakistanis and Vietnamese? | |
| How does that help the Indians? | |
| We're back to the same old con game. | |
| It was evil for white people to come here, but it's great for everyone else. | |
| If Columbus is a villain, all white people are villains. | |
| Supreme Court Justice Roger Taney, who sat outside the Maryland State House since 1872, had to go. | |
| Dr. James Sims, the father of gynecology, was kicked off of Central Park in New York City. | |

Whites Conquered The Continent

|
| Even President William McKinley got the boot from the central square of Arcata, California. | |
| What did McKinley do? | |
| And here's what recently happened to Abraham Lincoln in a black neighborhood in Chicago. | |
| That statue has taken such a beating over the years, the city has just taken it away. | |
| So much for the great emancipator. | |
| The United States was built by pioneers, settlers, farmers, engineers. | |
| Whites built a country that attracts people from all over the world. | |
| So you think it was wrong for us to have come? | |
| Well, fine. | |
| Would all those newcomers who love to tell us how awful we are want to stay if the place was still in Stone Age? | |
| Yes, we conquered the continent. | |
| That's how history works. | |
| Comanche friend David Yeagley used to say, Whites are unique in the respect they pay to the people they defeat. | |
| Look at all the Indian names of states, cities, rivers, of military helicopters, and yes, sports teams. | |
| They are high tribute to a defeated enemy. | |
| Do you see any of that spirit in the people who tear down our statues, insult our heroes, and want our country? | |
| No. Columbus and a few statues. | |
| It's a denial of every shred of American culture, tradition, and history that can be traced to whites. | |
