Another Special Day Cats

You know how people have special days, I am sure. Well, this one is a bit of a problem. Today is a day that people have been celebrating for years and years. Now it turns out that some guys have studied this holiday, and found that the guy didn't do all the things they have been giving him a special day about. He has been getting credit for a long time for discovering our country. He couldn't have discovered it because there were already lots of people living here. Instead of being nice to the people they found here, he and his guys were mean to them. They captured them and hurt them, and gave them diseases they would never have had, and just acted like a bunch of bad guys. When She was growing up, this was a big day, with parades and everything. Her people, who came here from another country, were also treated badly, so they invented this special day to honor those people. The discovering guy was from that place, so they made it about him. After awhile, people began to find out what a nasty person he was, and how rude and harmful the rest of the people from over in that country were, and it was even worse for Her family's countrymen. She wishes the country would stop this day from being a holiday and sweep the damage under the rug. That means to get it out of sight. Regular people are not mean to Her countrypeople so much anymore, and it may be because they invented pizza. She and I sure appreciate them for that. I will not wish you a happy holiday today, because it just didn't work out that way.. Chow.
