Despite our contributions; the very culture we celebrate and our proud heritage is under attack. The Italian-American Civil Rights League (“IACRL”) celebrates our culture, while vehemently defending our history. This means celebrating Christopher Columbus, who discovered America and vowing to oppose those seeking to destroy his name and reputation.

Was it really Columbus that was there first or is it someone else that had their culture erased and their history rewritten? thonk

lol

he was working for the spaniards
italy didn't even exist as a country
there were a bunch of people already living there
he wasn't even the first euro to "discover" it, the vikings got there like 500 years before

Americans have no conception of anything outside of the modern nation-state framework. How else are they supposed to do their blood quantum calculations to figure out that they’re 2.5% Italian 4.2% French 6.8% Irish and 0.2% Cherokee Princess?
