Nice, KKK was aligned with the American Indian then.
No Catholic invaders.
The problem with KKK is that it doesn't realize, period.
Chucky Shoofly, today, is more a reflection of KKK than than he has ever been.
Once upon a time, he realized a lot, but wokeness is a disease, and he has it. Terminal.

I oppose columbus day cause that guy was a jerk and wasnt even the first to find america.
I'm inclined to agree.
Columbus Day was mainly added to help Italian immigrants feel special. The English settlers, the pilgrims, the Founding Fathers, etc. would have felt no connected at all to Columbus.
Columbus Day is a U.S. federal holiday commemorating the arrival of Christopher Columbus in the Americas on October 12, 1492
. The holiday is observed annually on the second Monday of October.
For decades, the holiday has been a source of significant controversy due to Columbus's violent actions toward Indigenous peoples and the subsequent era of European colonization that led to genocide, enslavement, and the decimation of native populations. In response, many cities and states have either replaced Columbus Day or observe it alongside Indigenous Peoples' Day.
I personally like to blame Henry VIII.
The KKK was 1)Literally based off of African spirits and hanging gangs that originate...in Africa. and 2)Basically a protestant liberal organization. It deplored fascism and Catholicism and wanted to defend liberty.
Anyone born in the "Americas" is native.
Indigenous is a false representation.
First settlers probably arrived via Asia, with perhaps some Norse seafaring input.
And then along came cleverer folk from Europe.
Of course, folk all had the same origins anyway
It's just that some people like to pick and choose when and where to start the colonization clock.
Nonetheless a day off work and a party is always welcome, whereas associated bullshit tends to become irrelevant after a bellyful of burgers and beer...Though for most people the bullshit is never relevant...But there are always a few who want to don the feathers and dance around in a daft fashion...Not that all dancing isn't daft, in my humble opinion.
