It is ironic, Columbus supposedly introduced genocide yet there are more people claiming Myan ans Aztec heritage today than ever before. But, up until Columbus arrived, human sacrifice was OK with these same Aztecs. Go Figure.
>> Columbus and the Spanish Conquistadors should be recognized as saviors for being instrumental in stopping the holocaust the Aztecs were inflicting on the peoples of Mexico. <<
If they really want to blame someone, Columbus is not the guy to blame, He was just trying to find India. The Spaniards did a lot of good with their missionaries but you got to admit they also did a great share of the looting and plundering as well.
It amuses me that on Columbus day the socialists scum want blame an Italian for the Sins of Spain in the past. Maybe that is their way of rewarding modern day Socialist Spain while jamming a finger at Rome.
The past is past and we have to live int he Future, they need to knowledge that Columbus was a pivotal man in history and stop vilifying him because that sidetracks any honest discussion about history and if we don’t learn from it we are doomed to repeat it.
