I read this interesting post :

If you ever want to read any eye opening book “An UNDERGROUND EDUCATION” by Richard Zacks is it. Page 347 states “Columbus rightly deserves credit for many firsts, but one of his first has been routinely overlooked in Americn textbooks. Christopher Columbus was the “first slave trader” in the New World.

He returned from his first voyage with ten live Indians he had kidnapped, and these were paraded along with parrots through the streets and road of Spain.

"You don't hear people using the world 'discovery' anymore like they used to. 'Columbus discovers America.' Because how could he discover America if there were already people living here?"

Because it was discovered by an advanced culture that was able to actually DO something with the land. After thousands of years of habitation by people who were still living in the stone age in the age of the Enlightenment has earned Columbus the honor of having discovered the new world.

If you like the idea of people in the Americas living above a stone age level, due to the transplant of European culture and ideas, then he’s a hero. He’s a villain if you just hate Whitey but don’t have the balls to say it.

I am teaching my kids about his strong Catholic faith and that times were certainly different then. More than that but I don’t want to go over our entire curriculum! :0)

Ask the kiddies this. The Aztecs murdered 20,000 people a year, so was it good or bad that they were defeated?

In 1492 Columbus rediscovered a land populated by savage stone age natives continually engaged in genocidal warfare against their neighbors. Four hundred years later as the American frontier closed, the savagery and genocidal aspects of the natives was no more but they were still stone age having never in four centuries figured out how to copy and make anything of the Europeans.

He should be celebrated. If not for CC, the Mexicans would still be cutting out hearts and playing hockey with heads, and WE would be besieged with even worse neighbors.

We could probably find some authentic villains in the education departments of our universities.

In truth, leftist educators in the universities hope to change society by changing the way teachers teach kids.

So we’ll get rid of Columbus Day and celebrate Victory over Indiginous Peoples Day.

Let’s say Columbus found a young Mayan virgin girl; would he drag her up the steps and CUT HER HEART OUT for no reason..? For ANY reason..?

NOPE...!
