Why we give a shit:
We still have a federal holiday celebrating a man who committed genocide and they cancelled Indigenous Peoples Day because acknowledging history is too woke.
Thought-terminating cliché:
“Decolonize your bookshelf”
- The administration reversed Indigenous Peoples Day recognition because even symbolic gestures are too much
- Indigenous communities still fighting pipelines, still fighting for clean water, still being ignored
- You can't celebrate diversity while honoring a man who enslaved the diverse
- Rename it, abolish it, do anything but pretend this man deserves a parade
