It's that time again for many Americans to attack the person who is responsible for their comfortable affluent existence. #ColumbusDay

Yo, not like Columbus was fleeing religious persecution. Seriously, white people: give it up. #ColumbusWasAHero

Don't get mad at Americans for celebrating #ColumbusDay. Get mad at Spain. They financed him.

All around the Caribbean they build statues and name places after this mass murderer. And they're OK with that. It's sickening. #ColumbusDay

Celebrating #ColumbusDay the way our forefathers intended, by walking into other people's homes and announcing that I live there now.
