Politician Introduces Bill to Replace Columbus Day with Native American Day
Roger Hernandez, a Democratic state senator out of California, is seeking to make his state the first in the nation to get rid of Columbus Day. Hernandez has introduced the Native American Day Bill, called AB55, which is set to get rid of Columbus Day to honor the people who were most affected by it.
Native American Day is recognized already as the fourth Friday in September, and became a state holiday in 1998. But Hernandez wants to make Native American Day a paid holiday, closing down state agencies and he also wants the holiday to take place where Columbus Day used to be.
“We’re not trying to rewrite history,” Hernandez told the Huffington Post. “We just want to provide recognition and credit to the true discoverers of the land.”
Hernandez says that celebrating one man doesn’t make any sense, because an entire community played a part in making America what it is today, not just one person.
“Why replace it? That’s the day we honor Columbus for discovering the Americas,” said Hernandez. “And that’s very unfair to the original inhabitants.”
Hernandez even compares Native American Day to Holocaust Remembrance day, which commemorates the suffering of the Jews during World War II.
“When we honor the victims that have suffered from genocide in Germany, it isn’t to be anti-German,” he explained. “It’s to bring proper recognition to people who have suffered and been displaced. This bill is looking to do that for the original settlers in the Americas.”

I really like what Mr. Hernandez is saying. This is a bill that should pass nation wide without resistance.
This is long overdue. I hope it passes and all states recognize it.
What a thrilling mandate! I support it immensely!!!
That wetback should go back across the river to the shithole known as Mexico!
There is already a month devoted to Native Americans, why get rid of Columbus?
Why NOT get rid of columbo?
He didn’t ‘discover’ shyt! How, in the heII are you gonna ‘discover’ something, when Black Afrikans were already in mu-lan (amerikkka)?
Your caucasoid liars, I mean his-liarians, don’t even acknowledge this LIE any more. They know this yankee was lost, and this is why caucasoids are re-writing OURstory, as I type.
In the next 10 years, there will be no Black OURstory in his-LIE books! They are erasing and re-writing it RIGHT NOW!
WE NEED A BLACK OURstory 24/7, not just once a da*mn year! How in the heII can you learn your OURstory in 28 da*mn days when OURstory covers over 6 million plus years of contributions and inventions to the world?
GET OVER IT, DUDE!
You unlearned negroids love to applaud for OTHER people! If you knew your True OURstory, the Black Afrikan Olmecs were already in amerikkka 100,000 years before columbo was thought of! They were trading rubber, gold, yams, and other merchandise with their Afrikan brothers from Afrika!
Do you negroids read? ALL y’all do is beLIEve everythang OTHER races write about their his-story/his-LIE. If I told you negroids, that the ORIGINAL amerindians were BLACK, you would kill me!
An excellent read is: Black Indians: A Hidden Heritage: William Loren Katz. He gives us the names of the ORIGINAL settlers of mu-lan (amerikkka), who were BLACK INDIANS, NOT A ‘redman’!!!
The real deal of the matter is that, ‘columbo’ was LOST IN INDIA, and this is where the word ‘indian’ came from…he called them indians! India was once attached to Afrika, and the ORIGINAL inhabitants of india were the Black Untouchables and Dalits, who have been reduced to the lowest class of people in india.
“At the time of Columbus, the subcontinent of India was referred to as Hindustan or the Deccan. The European term for indigenous peoples all over the world was “Indians” from the Spanish “In Dios” meaning “God’s people”.
BLACK amerikkkans ARE BEING REDUCED TO THE LOWEST CLASS OF PEOPLE, HERE IN RACIST amerikkka. Like I always say, what happens to Afrikans in Afrika, happens to Afrikans-in-amerikkka.
Here are some ORIGINAL Black Indian tribes: The Black Jamassee, The Black Californians, The Black Washitaw Nation, and many other tribes, who were INDIGENOUS to mul-lan (amerikkka) before the so-called native amerikkkans.
“There is considerable EVIDENCE to place the Afrikan presence in the amerikkkas, especially mexico to a period BEFORE columbo, and possibly back to the times of the Pharaohs of Kemet. The Mayas, Incas, Aztecs and Egyptians ALL have Afrikan roots.” (Black Explorers p 70)
Afrikans were the FIRST sea merchants, who sailed from Afrika to mu-lan (amerikkka) and were trading with the Afrikan Olmecs! Most people are not aware that a BLACK NAVIGATOR was the captain for the ship for columbo. When columbo got lost in india, he ordered a Black navigator to ‘MAN’ the ship to amerikkka!!!
PROOF:
“Columbus in his journal also made reference to Negro traders from Guinea who trafficked in a gold alloy, “guanin”, of precisely the same composition and bearing the same name as frequently referred to as early writers in Africa.
Evidence suggests that at least one crewman on Columbus’ first voyage was possibly black. Pedro Alonso Nino of the ship Nina is thought to have been black by some historians. There is also some evidence to indicate that Alonzo Pietro, the pilot of the flagship Santa Maria may have been black.” (Black Explorers p 70)

BLACK AMERICAN INDIANS ARE FORGOTTEN AGAIN
by Gary Norris Gray
America has been considered the melting pot of the world; some call us the fruit salad of the world. It’s one’s own personal preference. This is a country that consists of people from every part of the world. A very integral potion of this population is the Southern American Indian tribes, which include the Choctaws, Cherokees, and Seminoles. It is of interest that these tribes are now trying to exclude the history of African American Indians in their Indian family trees.
In addition, these tribes are selling tribal lands back to the United States government and to individual citizens of the United States. Black Indians now have to prove they are native Americans, while their white Indian counterparts upon returning to their roots are selling the land on the old reservations without any inquiries. It is obvious that the history of the Black American Indian and the Native American Indian is now at the historical crossroads. Black Indians want to be a part of the American Indian Heritage, but there is a segregationist attitude in the Native American Communities; will this segregationist attitude remain in the Native American Communities?
The Bureau of is now refusing to recognize Black tribal members.
Two hundred years ago the federal government did a dis-service to Black Indians when they created the BLOOD LIST, a segregated tribal rolls in 1890. The Federal Dawes Commission created three different rolls, one for Black Indians, one for White Indians, and another one for Native Indians. This list was created to enable the government and the tribes to distinguish and discriminate against certain tribal members. The list is now being used to exclude Black Indians from the daily operations of any tribal affairs.
Native American Indians are now claiming sovereign rights; Black Indians are claiming civil rights violations, and the Bush Administration has tried to keep its distance in this new legal battle, but it appears the United States Attorney General is leaning towards the Native American Indian side of this conflict.
Native American tribes have been denying membership of Black Indians to tribal voting conferences. The different tribal conferences have also denied the rights of Black Indians to the profits of the tribal lands. All of this is being accomplished with the blessings of the Bush Administration. President Bush and the Tribal councils are now using sovereign nation rights–this enables the tribal to do whatever the tribal councils want. This action is a typical Republican political .
All of these sound like another state rights issues even though it is unjust. An interesting note to consider is that Native American elders are dying with each passing year. This mortality rate results in the history of the Black Indians to be slowly erased. Most Americans are aware that Indian history is told through stories of the elders. Then it is passed on from one generation to the next. Consequently, Black Indians were being left out of stories with each passing generation. Many Indian children never get to hear the stories of their forefathers–stories of how they helped Black slaves from the Confederate south. Some of these stories date back over one hundred years. Many African Americans are unaware of their linkage to the American Indian, and they do not know how to obtain the information they need to bridge the gap between one generation to another.
My family had to resister to find out if the New Jersey Lenape Tribe was indeed part of our heritage. Ten years has elapsed since the inquiry, and we are still waiting for a reply.
It is important that African Americans support our Black Native American brothers and sisters who are caught in this dilemma. Our Black Native Americans need to know that we support them. This can be done by writing your Congressperson and telling them that what is happening to the Black Native American is neither fair nor just. Black Indians have the right to profit from the selling off these tribal lands. They should also have the right to be equal partners with the Native American Indians.
Then too the Black Indian needs to be a permanent part of Native American history.
THAT IS THE GRAYLINE
Start reading and researching OURstory for yourselves, and stop beLIEving these LIES about their his-story/his-LIE because you are being DECEIVED!!!
There is no such hue-man as a ‘red’ man. If I saw a ‘red’ man, I’m running for my life. These so-called indians did not want to accept their Blackness from the ORIGINAL BLACK AFRIKAN INDIANS!!! That’s why they labeled themselves, ‘red’.
BLACK PEOPLE ARE THE MOST INDIGENOUS PEOPLE ON THIS PLANET, AND IN THE GALAXIES!!!
WHAT COLOR WAS E.T.?
I’m gone!
Now, here we go again. how much in agreement will you be if they said, well OK, but we have to eliminate MLK day in order to get this through.
Everyone wants a paid day off, but you must know it has to be paid for.
If you are working for the Government, the people have to pay for it, (taxes).
If you work for the private sector the employer pays for it, then pass the cost on to the public in higher cost for goods or services.
Much like the health care bill, we all thought it would be free, because BHO said it would be, now we fined it will cost several thousand per house hold.
Get informed! Just because it sounds good does not mean it’s a good thing.
This video(s) (pt.1-5) touches on this topic just a bit.. and is well worth our time to watch.. http://youtu.be/XmJa_SPfs1o
In the 60′s anti-whites forced ALL and ONLY white countries to open their borders to non-white immigration. Then anti-whites forced ALL and ONLY white people to “integrate” or face penalties for being “naziswhowantokill6millionjews.” Now anti-whites are counting down the days for when ALL and ONLY white children become minorities and eventually extinct EVERYWHERE. It’s Genocide. “Anti-racist” is a codeword for anti-white.
Given the ideology perpetuated by the those of the caucasian species, it would be fairly easy to comprehend the issue that many have with them and the history that they continue to attempt to rewrite over their wrong doings.
Take the aborigines of Australia, the apartheid in South Africa, Genocide in Africa and in Israel, the middle passage, the Native Americans of North America, the era of slavery.
Please save the sympathy or guilt trip. If there wasn’t a problem with their thought process then there wouldn’t have been an issue with them in the first place.
Now that’s the best idea I heard all year long. And I am not even Native American. Columbus Day is boo boo. Native American Day will celebratory.
