"Not Columbus" Day – SJU...

Just a little levity on my part.

I really don't shiv a git about this issue. It reminds me of the "War on Christmas."

Anyway, I wish I was Italian so I could visit my relatives in warm, sunny Palermo instead of cold, gray Galway.

That, and the whole Renaissance thing, architecture, craftsmanship, art, food, creating the groundwork for western civilization, etc.

Galway is great though. Strolling the streets you can imagine pre-famous Ed Sheerin singin in places like those.
 
Amazingly, everything I wanted to say in rebuttal ....... (edited to remove personal reference) ... was said in great detail by Beast.


Columbus Day is a national holiday because without his voyages other explorers may have headed around the Cape of Africa and we wouldn't be a nation at all!
I detest wokeness as a means to denigrate other groups ......period!

Denigrating other groups is NEVER a good thing whether being done in the name of anything and wokeness is by no means the only name it is done in. Visiting countries like Czechia, Germany, Austria, Slovakia etc. as we are doing this week drives that home pretty strongly.
