That changes nothing as I could claim hyper-specific offense about the others. Not saying he was a saint, but neither are the Macabees, or the person who created a phony holiday no one’s really sure of, nor was Muhommed as he killed many more. If I’m offended by Moslemism, should we ban their celebrations? By no means!

1) kwanzaa is a real holiday and it’s honestly pretty racist of you to call it a “phony holiday no one’s really sure of” and 2) it’s islam, not “moslemism” that’s not a real word. it’s also funny how you only mentioned holidays that are associated with minorities but not easter or christmas or some other christian holiday

First of all, nobody mentioned religion. Second of all, Hanukkah is hardly about the Macabees or the revolt. It has far more to do with retaking Judea for the Jewish and the re-dedication of the Second Temple. By that logic, you agree that the focus should be taken off Columbus and put onto Indigenous People (a shift from the person to the significance)

Third of all, Muhammad (say it right asshole) is the FOUNDER of Islam. If we use your logic, we should be practicing Saint Brendan the Navigator Day (elite ball knowledge here), Leif Erikson Day, or even Amerigo Vespucci Day rather than Columbus Day

Replying to #2’s rebuttal: Yes I agree that banning Christian holidays would be profoundly harmful to ALL Cultures, not just the ignorant 1's. I don't se how anything I said was racist seeing as Moslemism is a multiracial religion. It may be backwards, but that's no reason assume all Mussulmen are 1 race or nation. They're not a Seracens or Osmans. There are Berbers, Bendunies, Tartars, and countless other sorts.

Response to #3’s 2 statements:Mahommed, is the The Founder of Moslemism, has gallons of 🩸 on his hands, and has a holiday in his honor. Columbus is the founder of our continent, has gallons of 🩸 on his hands(albeit quite a bit less than the former,) and has a holiday in his honor. I know not what your non sequiturs concerning other possible holidays are. My point about censorship and repression, regardless of its perceived “moral goodness“, personal “offense”, and stupidity, still stands.

You don’t need #2 to respond for you to look stupid so I’m gonna step in. 1) You’ve already been corrected on the term Moslemism and while it is a real word, it’s very archaic, as is Mussulman, stop being a pretentious weirdo acting like they were born in the wrong era. 2) The thing #2 called you racist for was a dismissal of a holiday which seemed to be Kwanzaa based on an offensive description, not anything to do with Islam. If the ambiguous holiday you referenced is Islamic, please name it.

Again to #3: Kwanza, Isn’t real. As much as I applaud its good Swahili roots, the # of people who celebrate it I can count on 1 hand. Addition, It’s basically ment for Americans to do some Swahili 🎄 stuff, dress up and feel like “Africans connected to their roots”, while sipping champagne and eating sushi. If they want to be African, they should go live in Addis for a few years, learn Ge’ez. Maybe then.

If you were in my home, country l'd expect you to try to speak properly. I merely speak/ write English properly, the way I was raised. That slum English is beneath me. "Don't wanna be poor. Don't speak, walk, act, or look poor...”

You’re so rich that you have commas to spare. Since you feel the need to speak with a certain « je ne sais quoi, » please allow me to break down some of your mistakes: The first sentence comma should be after country or you could remove the word and keep the comma. Second sentence has an unnecessary comma since you’re ending a sentence in a dependent clause. You’re also missing a subordinating conjunction. The slash is wrong because it doesn’t replace the word “and” in proper English, only “or”

Anonymous OP 6d

Oh, “that” is also unnecessary. You don’t need a determiner at the start of a sentence because the subject is already stated. “Slum English is beneath me” works just as well with less words.

No, you said you expect OTHERS to try! “I merely speak and write English properly, which is how I was raised.” (Corrected for grammar)

I expect others to try as I do myself. My Columbus point still stands.

does exactly the opposite, recognizing the uncensored version of history and taking a day to remember the people who actually lived on this land, rather than the random asshole who “discovered” it

He never even set foot in what’s now the US, the closest he got was the Caribbean. He didn’t found anything either, other than the two small settlements he established, both of which failed due to disease, native conflicts, and poor leadership. There is genuinely nothing about the guy worth celebrating/recognizing

How could he found North America if he never set foot here?? He never came across it. For all he knew, it wasn’t there
