But wait! There's more! SF celebrates White Oppressor Day!
Nation's Oldest Italian Heritage Parade Takes to the Streets of San Francisco on October 12th
"More than 400,000 revelers are expected at San Francisco's 135th ANNUAL ITALIAN HERITAGE PARADE on Sunday, October 12, 2003, as the City's oldest civic event and the nation's oldest Italian-American parade and community celebration winds its way from Fisherman's Wharf to North Beach. A San Francisco institution since it was established in 1868, the 2003 Parade is promising to be bigger, better and more colorful than ever."
Of course this event was previously known as Columbus Day...repleat with a costumed re-enactment of the landing ...but alas, too un-PC for the Bay Area hair shirts...so Columbus was purged along with the US Navy. [Yes, Virginia, there is a touch of irony given that SF is surrounded on three sides by the sea and gained prominence as a naval stronghold, port-of-call and prosperity from her Italian-American fishing fleet]
Asshats...not at the Feste manse where Sunday ragu will be meaty, the robusto wine grown locally, opera played loudly and both national flags will be flown.
