Still trying to figure out what this article was meant to be about. It starts off suggesting Columbus Day shouldn't be replaced by a day recognizing indigenous peoples, and then moves on into this winding "I'm not racist but.." white guy rant about how sharing power with other groups on the internet and other public spheres in day to day life is making him uncomfortable and how frustrated he is that this discomfort is interpreted by everyone else as being just that. It ended without concluding on anything and even retracted the initial thesis of the article. 

There is nothing wrong with turning the narrative of that initial encounter between European explorers and indigenous people over to indigenous peoples to tell. After all, Columbus wasn't the only party in that initial encounter.

This just seems like another rant by a white guy that happens every so often where he simultaneously tries to sever any culpability to a colonial past(and rightly so) but while also trying to defend it.
