Rethink Columbus Day

Columbus Day celebrates the day that Christopher Columbus landed in the New World. Is the man the discovered the Americas worthy of his own holiday? It is a controversial holiday because of the way he treated the Native Americans. They claim that Christopher Columbus is guilty of genocide and was the cause of slavery. I don't think that Christopher Columbus single handedly created the slave trade and was the reason that it continued for hundreds of years. I can understand that he mistreated the natives but are we really wasting our time to try and reverse a holiday that has been around for 100 years? Also, I don't remember the last time anyone celebrated Columbus Day. Why don't we focus our energy on something worth fighting for like the sex slave trade of young girls or domestic abuse? This is just annoying and they obviously don't care enough about their cause to renew their website.
