So I’m going through web comics like usual and I read the rant space on one site (Applegeeks.com) which really got to bugging me. One of the people said, and I quote:
That she isn’t at work because “…some white guy that stumbled onto this continent for the second or third time in history maybe…” but because Christopher Reeve died.
Bullshit.
First of all, Christopher Columbus’s arrival in the new world is not just stupid news. Sure, there were Vikings here (before the fucking INDIANS, I might add) landing on the New World before Christopher Columbus, but guess what Chris did that was worth a holiday: he opened up the New World to trade and expansion. This reason, much like the printing press, is one of Mankind’s great achievements. When everyone thought that the world was flat and you’d fall off the end of ocean if you went far enough out, this dude decided to put his balls on the line and sail out there. NO ONE ELSE WAS BRAVE ENOUGH TO EVEN ATTEMPT IT!
Second, how does Columbus end up being “some white guy”? So, if Columbus was black we’d have to worship him as some divine God? Oh wait, that’s right, white people never did ANYTHING for society! We only invented or fostered women’s rights, the alphabet, computers, batteries, the steam engine, the car, and (probably the most influential invention) the fucking PRINTING PRESS. Oh, sure, there are other cultures that invented things. The Arabs invented algebra, the Chinese invented gunpowder and the Japanese invented bondage. Congrats, we still invented more.
”Oh, but Timbuktu, was the center of learning once.” Yeah, once. At the time when pissing in your own drinking water was in style (and in practice), Timbuktu was a great school. Too bad that was 1,000 years ago and no one gives a shit.
Third, who gives a shit about Christopher Reeve? Sure, it’s sad he was a paraplegic. But I somehow don’t feel the pain of a guy who had millions selling books and making appearances off his illness. One that he got from an accident while riding his own thoroughbred horse.
Johnny Ramone dies and no one even knows who they are. Christopher fucking Reeve dies and all of a sudden people are crying about it. Fuck Christopher Reeve.
Plus, the Superman movies SUCKED big time.
Columbus Day should be a more well, respected holiday. First they took away Washington’s birthday, then Lincoln’s, and now they want take away Columbus Day? Guess that white, Christian males can’t have holidays granted to them.
