Humans migrate for many reasons. The “indigenous” people in America migrated. When two groups of people run into each other, many times the inferior culture disappears or is absorbed into the superior one.
The Europeans were superior in technology, science, weaponry, social organization, organized religion, laws, governments, building, medicine, transportation and so on. The people who were here were overrun, as the europeans population increased and needed more space and resources. Wars were fought and land settled and the people with seniority lost out. Those are the facts of life.
This anti-columbus movement is anchored by leftists and Mexicans in the US who forget they have Spanish blood in them.
Columbus was brave and a great explorer. As a person of European descent, I am thankful he came here. I know his voyages lead to the greatest nation in the history of the word. That’s why I celebrate Columbus day. If you want a day get your own.

So true. Columbus was on the Spanish payroll when he sailed to the New World, but let’s not let facts get in the way of promoting an agenda, shall we?
IOW, Darwinism. Survival of the fittest. I thought liberals/socialists/commies LOVE Darwin?
[[Humans migrate for many reasons. The “indigenous” people in America migrated.]]
All Mankind migrated outwards from the garden of Eden- everyone is a migrant, or a descendant of a migrant- some migrants later on however, had to fight for land to keep for themselves, just like the migrants before them had to do- Land acquisition by force is nothing new- been happening since the beginning of time practically- but all of a sudden it’s only Christopher Columbus and crew that were evil scums for doing so?
How about indian nations that attacked and murdered and drove other indian nations from ‘their land’? Were they as bad as Christopher Columbus? If not, why not? They took land that wasn’t ‘theirs’ as well- they murdered to get that land- they raped, pillaged- stole the women of those other tribes- etc- Why no condemnation of ‘indigenous people’ whatever that is supposed to mean?
