I'm not always too sure about the testimonies of Internet "eyewitnesses."
I didn't quote the Internet - but the histories of the priest, Bartolome De Las Casas, (1474-1566) who was there. I credit his eye witness accounts over today's history apologists or revisionists.
De Las Casas is an historical figure - not the product of an Internet not can he and his accounts be wished away.
Here's a current printing of his history - his EYE WITNESS account:

"Short Account of the Destruction of the Indies" by De Las Casas

Alrighty then, what happened to the Arawak? This is the way things were back then. It sucked by today's standards, but we shouldn't rewrite history to fit our beliefs, leave that to Muslims and leftists.
