How beheading Christopher Columbus statues became a thing.
For the last sixty or so years the media-education complex has established a rule that only ethnic groups of color are permitted to have grievances. Indeed, since the emergence of Barack Obama, these groups have formed something of a grievance-industrial complex.
Italian-Americans apparently don’t pass the color test. Although they come from roughly the same Mediterranean stock as people from Spain, Americans of Spanish descent get a bump up the swag wagon. Italians get niente.
People of Spanish descent even get a designated month, National Hispanic Heritage Month. In that month begins on September 15, it overlaps and overshadows the one day historically allotted to Italians, the second Monday of October, as well as the real Columbus Day, October 12.
