Looks to me like they just want to muddy the water and trash Columbus.
Christopher ColumBUSH
HA! Brass Fig Newton to goodnesswins, Double Secret Fig Newton to ElCid, and remember my people:

I hope the folks who are driving all this do not mind that I don't care if he was an Italian, a Spaniard, or a Martian for that matter. I am rather more interested in what he accomplished, and how he effected history.
Actually he was, in all the pictures I've seen he is wearing tights.

PS: ... and a floppy hat with feathers in it and a frilly shirt.
Doctor Brown, in his slightly modified DeLorean.
Martian? I don't think anyone is suggesting that Christopher Columbus was Martian, although there's a strong body of evidence linking Columbus with the Red Planet, in particular E.E."Doc" Smtih who popularized the idea of Christopher Columbus as a Martian Aboriginal in his "Lensman" series of pulp fiction novels. Also look into a less-strong but almost equally compelling body of evidence in the works of Richard Hoaglund, casting Christopher Columbus as a Hyperdimensional Fraud of the first order, a stalking horse for the Isis Society and Madame Blavatsky's Wicked Pack of Cards.
And funny BP should mention the DeLorean, but Columbus was also remotely linked with the Bricklin car in a centuries-spanning conspiracy involving the Moravian Church and certain Easter Island operatives working for the Vatican who concealed evidence linking Jesus with Earl Scheib, who will paint any car for 99 dollars.
99 Bucks! Not here in DC. He's up to $229. Wellat least it's still any, car any time. Must be part of the Easter Bunny conspiracy, where they take egg dye from the rich folk in DC and give it to poor folk else where for votes.
"What if the Italian gentleman who discovered America was in fact a brutal torturer and slave owner? And what if he wasn't even Italian?"
He wasn't Italian.
He was from the city-state of Genoa. Italy did not exist as a country in 1492.
Thanks, but I know even on Fr you find PC monsters...LOL
Easter Island egg dye always made me sneeze "Aku-Aku". A Thor subject I know, but just couldn't Paas it up. Also, got Earl Scheib confused with Mike Davinci, who will paint any supper for 30 pieces of silver.
sad, isn't it?
And of course it was Bush's fault he sailed at all.
Mike Davinci, who will paint any supper for 30 pieces of silver.
What a bargin! Wasn't he a roady for Judas Kiss?
In addition some have shown that his mother was a Jew. There is good scholarship to show that Christopher Columbus
left Spain on the day before all Jews were driven out the Spain.
AlGore invented the anal supposition for speaking out his bung hole!
