I hope everybody had a woke Columbus Day.

Spartanmack is going to be so pissed at you

I'm not Italian and I don't get upset by other peoples' opinions. I was glad to see that my kids got the day off for Columbus Day with no mention of this silly alternative holiday for the perpetually aggrieved race hustling professional victim class. Over 500 years and counting since the end of ritualistic human sacrifice in the New World!

East side... Marseilles & Mack Ave. How about you?

we were practically neighbors. In high school we used to buy booze at the Pony Keg or Liquor Island and drink it at Balduck Park - and go drunk sledding in the winter time. There was a pretty decent billiards club around there - on Warren maybe?

Here is a little something. Some of the events look they have been canceled due to lack of participation.

Houston.

The places I mentioned in the previous post - I forgot to add that Philadelphia came up ? are fairly well-known to have large Italian populations.

I don?t know that Detroit nor Houston are really known for that.

I don't think Italian American immigrants were numerous enough in either place to maintain Columbus Day events. certainly there were a lot more in Detroit.

I don't know that there ever really was a Little Italy in Detroit; seems like my family were spread across a few different neighborhoods. Maybe someone else knows more about that than me and can comment

The mean streets of Royal Oak. South of 11 mile was lawless.

I mean, my grandparents lived at Marseilles and Mack. I visited there sometimes. That counts as "growing up there" right?

Can you believe it?s that time of year again?

Can you believe the shit that has happened in the three short years since this thread was started?

Everyone have a woke Columbus Day.

Everyone have a colonialist indigenous peoples day.

I can't believe this thread is three years old. I must be dreaming.

I must have been living under a rock. I didn't know that Biden changed Columbus day to Indigenous Peoples' Day.

However, it does remind me of this Sopranos episode.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim October 10, 2022, as Indigenous Peoples? Day. I call upon the people of the United States to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies and activities. I also direct that the flag of the United States be displayed on all public buildings on the appointed day in honor of our diverse history and the Indigenous peoples who contribute to shaping this Nation.

Fo rills, right?

Also, happy birthday to me.

Bitch.

Go Blue.

And happy fuckin? woke Columbus Day.

And Indigenous peoples too.

Am I leaving anyone out?

The dagos and the rest of the cacasoid euros, the redskins, and me.

I think we?re covered.

If I?ve left anyone out, this half black chick will bridge the gap.

Happy Birthday, Tinsel.



Fuck Columbus. There are better Italians to honor, and he didn't even realize he discovered America.

Thanks Buddy.

Happy Halloween and Merry Christmas.

Columbus thought he discovered China, right?

I think Donald Trump thinks that too.

That reptilian Senator Geary thinks Columbus is AOK, But I also notice that this slime-ball failed to wish Tinsel a Happy Birthday.

So I will.
