Reconsider Columbus Day 2010

  • 0:03 - 0:04
    Columbus Day
  • 0:04 - 0:08
    a day that our government has deemed worthy of remembrance.
  • 0:08 - 0:09
    But with all due respect
  • 0:09 - 0:10
    with all due respect
  • 0:10 - 0:12
    with all due respect
  • 0:12 - 0:14
    there's an ugly truth that has been overlooked.
  • 0:14 - 0:16
    For way too long.
  • 0:16 - 0:18
    Columbus committed heinous crimes
  • 0:18 - 0:20
    against the Indigenous peoples of the Caribbean
  • 0:20 - 0:22
    and millions of natives throughout the americas
  • 0:22 - 0:25
    and Columbus set the stage for the slave trade in the new world.
  • 0:25 - 0:26
    So please
  • 0:26 - 0:28
    please reconsider
  • 0:28 - 0:30
    if this is a man you want to honour.
  • 0:30 - 0:33
    Reconsider if you wanna celebrate the crimes of Columbus.
  • 0:33 - 0:34
    It's not your fault.
  • 0:34 - 0:36
    It happened a long time ago.
  • 0:36 - 0:37
    But remaining neutral?
  • 0:37 - 0:39
    And pretending like it didn't happen?
  • 0:39 - 0:42
    Or that it doesn't still impact us today?
  • 0:42 - 0:43
    So please
  • 0:43 - 0:45
    take the day to learn the whole story.
  • 0:45 - 0:47
    Celebrate the people who were here first.
  • 0:47 - 0:51
    Petition for a nationally recognized Indigenous holiday.
  • 0:51 - 0:52
    So please
  • 0:52 - 0:54
    reconsider the story of Columbus.
