Why the hell do we celebrate Columbus Day?

Seriously? Why the hell do we celebrate this jerk? Kids are all learning songs about him in elementary but yet hes a terrible vicious power hungry fool who started the trans america slave trade, sold native american women as sex slaves, tortured or murdered the children if they didnt bring him gold, and his crew flat out caused an epedemic killing millions. Not to mention he wasnt the one to actually discover america. Are there any actual native americans here? How do you feel that america celebrates a guy who butchered a great civilzation? Sure there is no school but is it worth it knowning we celebrate a guy like this?? Its like having Hitler day...well kinda.

[QUOTE="bungie93"][QUOTE="htekemerald"] So where would you Rank MLK?gaming25

Not sure, maybe around 50. His influence has really been exaggerated by the extremely liberal public schools in this country which desperately want to make women and minorities feel better by hyperbolizing their influence in American history.

Martin Luther King Jr was the main person who brought civil rights in America. Nothing had to be "exaggerated" as you grossly put it. You claim that it was done to "make women and minorities feel better by hyperbolizing thier influence in American hisory" is baseless and shows your lack of knowledge of the influence that they have had in America.

Not to mention quite insulting..
