A Louisiana Reader Explains The Difference Between
Columbus Day and Cinco de Mayo…And It’s A Big One

J
R’s rant misses the point.
Columbus Day celebrates the founder of the new
Americas. Italian Festivals celebrate the
Italian culture of Italians who legally
immigrated to the United States, learned English,
and immersed themselves and
contributed to the primarily Anglo-Saxon/Celtic
culture which founded this nation.
The Feast of
San Gennaro is a Roman Catholic religious feast.
All of these celebrations, however, are directly linked
to the creation of a primarily European America by other
Europeans (Italians, Germans, French, English, Spanish,
Danish, Norwegians, Swedes and Austrians).
On the other hand,
Cinco de Mayo commemorates a Mexican win over the
French in Mexico and has no business being celebrated in
this country. Do the
Mexicans celebrate the Fourth of July?
It is evident that the mainly Hispanics/Blacks/Mestizos
primarily from Mexico, Central America, and the
Caribbean have no intention of assimilating into our
predominantly European culture.
Rather, those ethnic groups blatantly brag about
destroying the America and its European culture and
replacing it with a Heinz 57 Afro/Latin/Caribbean
culture.
Therein lies the rub.
Norman, of Irish-Welsh-French descent, is a Captain with
a major airline, a graduate of Southeastern Louisiana
University, and former Dixie-Democrat, turned
Republican, turned Libertarian. He is, he says, a native
of Louisiana—home to many cultures—and fully aware of
the difference between being a hyphenated American and
an "immigrant" who has no desire of being any
kind of "American.
