Biden becomes first president to issue proclamation marking Indigenous Peoples' Day:
President Joe Biden issued a proclamation commemorating Indigenous Peoples' Day on Friday, becoming the first US president to do so, the White House said.
"The contributions that Indigenous peoples have made throughout history — in public service, entrepreneurship, scholarship, the arts, and countless other fields — are integral to our Nation, our culture, and our society," Biden wrote in the proclamation Friday. "Today, we acknowledge the significant sacrifices made by Native peoples to this country — and recognize their many ongoing contributions to our Nation."
Biden also marked a change of course from previous administrations in his proclamation marking Columbus Day, which honors the explorer Christopher Columbus. In that proclamation, the President acknowledged the death and destruction wrought on native communities after Columbus journeyed to North America in the late 1500s, ushering in an age of European exploration of the Western Hemisphere.
"Today, we also acknowledge the painful history of wrongs and atrocities that many European explorers inflicted on Tribal Nations and Indigenous communities. It is a measure of our greatness as a Nation that we do not seek to bury these shameful episodes of our past — that we face them honestly, we bring them to the light, and we do all we can to address them," Biden wrote.
More than 100 cities -- including Seattle, Los Angeles, Denver, Phoenix, San Francisco -- and a number of states -- including Minnesota, Alaska, Vermont and Oregon -- have replaced Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples' Day, choosing instead to recognize the native populations that were displaced and decimated after Columbus and other European explorers reached the continent. Berkeley, California, was the first city to adopt Indigenous Peoples' Day, in 1992.

Great post, Runaway! I know, you posted this AC to avoid the wrath of aristarchus' sock puppets. But it's still a great post!
Darkies hate America. They've just convinced everyone else to hate America, too. I can't understand why we would create an American holiday for those who hate America. What's next? Renaming Veteran's Day to "9/11 Terrorists' Day" to be politically correct to sand niggers?
Star Trek: Voyager is a great analogy. Voyager is from a civilized part of the galaxy but ends up in the Delta Quadrant. The Kazon are the Star Trek equivalent of injuns, battling among themselves with no real technology. When civilized people show up with better technology, the Kazon attack them. Just like the injuns. There's a reason the Delta Quadrant was a technological backwater, other than the Borg. Of course the Borg deemed the Kazon unworthy of assimilation, so I can't imagine they'd find much value in injuns or any other darkies, either.
Niggers, kikes, towelheads, wetbacks, chinks, dune coons, pajeets, japs, pakis, gooks, injuns, and all other darkies hate America. That's why I hate darkies. My hate is strong and I'm damned proud of it. In fact, my hate is getting stronger as I talk to you people. However, I'm not racist, and there's nothing racist about my post. Of course, the left will try to label me a racist because they can't refute anything I posted. If darkies didn't hate America, they wouldn't pillage and burn our cities while calling their riots free speech and free expression. I'm attacked because I'm a strong, independent woman who doesn't mindlessly accept leftist propaganda. It's funny that when I don't say that I'm a woman in my posts, people tell me I'm one of the best posters on this site. When leftists mod me down and spam mod me, it's because they're misogynists who can't handle the truth.
The left wants to indoctrinate an entire generation of Americans to hate America. That's why they're pushing critical race theory in schools, spreading propaganda for darkies and teaching our kids to hate America.
Darkies are trying to invade and destroy America. We're fools for aiding and abetting them.
