Blood-thirsty savages living in the Stone Age. Then Columbus showed up and ruined everything.

Like that’s the only bit of European adventurism that affected the world for generations.

No dark history. Europeans discovered a under utilized pair of continents peopled by races that mostly died when subjected to smallpox and other diseases. And we utilized them.

What Columbus did was very brave and transformative. If the left is so concerned with pinning the evils of his day on Columbus how about they acknowledge Islam's continued support of slavery instead of trying to import these Islamic invaders into as yet unconquered nations?
Of course it's all part of the effort to smear American history in order to justify changing the country over to socialism.

There was no country here because the SAVAGES were killing each other, cutting out hearts, etc... It was one tribe after another. Just like anywhere else on the planet before they were a country.
The Left loves to pretend the land was all peaceful and Kum By Ya before Columbus came. That’s complete malarkey.
The Leftist only say that so we hate our country. The Leftist can go to H@ll. We are celebrating Columbus Day.

We seem to adopting a new standard that says, We can only honor our ancestors if every word they spoke was politically correct by todays standards and every action they took resulted in absolute perfection.” Could a single person alive today claim to have succeeded if judged by those rules?
Trump is right in what he has said.

It is perfectly fine to honor MLK, though, despite his ‘dark’ history of cavorting with 13 year old prostitutes.

CNN could boost its credibility if all employees renounced their US citizenship and they moved operations to some third world cr@phole, given their view that the US is so suck.

And perversely, the standard only applies to western cultures. Self destructive ideology.

Their friendly muslims are still doing this today yet they praise them, sexsavery alive and well here in the US of which much of the rats enjoy, Once again the rats will denounce early explorers and applaud support and encourage today's exploiters as entrepreneurs

Columbus is one of the world’s first undocumented immigrants to pursue his and his dreamers goals for a better life in a sustaining way.
The Native Americans did not welcome these dreamers who did not look like them from another world, but through hard work and belief in themselves contributed bigly to the economy.
To: Trump20162020
So Obama gave a dark history of Columbus?
That’s racist.

Not mentioned often is that Columbus brought the Catholic faith and the word of Christ to the New World. The liberals dont like to hear that mentioned ever.
