The 12 of October is commemorated the date when Cristobal Colon arrived to America, for to remember the discovery of this “new” continent and to praise to Colon.
In principle, was proposed to celebrate the “Colon’s Day”, but was celebrated the “Festivity of the Race”, for to pay tribute to the Hispanic race.
The priest Vizcarra proposed in Buenos Aires to change the “Festivity of the Race” for the “Day of the Hispanidad”, for to make clear that are the Hispanic people to who is directed this celebration.
The “Day of the Hispanidad” is presumably for to bring out the Hispanic race, started for the blend of the native Americans and the Spanish conquerors, when Colon conquered America, but now (at least in Spain) the people only celebrates this day for to makes feel upside of the rest of people, underestimating them and forgetting the really reason of this day, that it pretends to be honest.
Then, the 12 of October of every years was declared bank holiday.And when arrives this date, the extreme right-wingers go out to the streets to state and to feel pride for to be Spanish people.
My really opinion with pictures and horrible pictures of the hispanidad.
