It’s interesting that White Democrats who have no trace of Native American blood are the ones who condemn others and then “them” to go back to Europe, but the White Democrats believe that are superior and will remain to “oversee” the United States and that all legal aspects are controlled by them. They are worse than their depiction of Columbus
People miss or hide the reason for his voyage in the first place.
In 1453 Constantinople fell to the Muslim scourge and the trade routes to China and other places were cut for Europe. Just as the Renaissance in Europe was caused by Christian scholars and others fleeing Muslim invaders.
Columbas wasn’t searching for a new land, he was seeking new trade routes to the far East.The ancients onward knew the world was round. They just got the math wrong.
I don’t remember the rest of the poem I learned in grade school, but it started with:
In Fourteen Hundred Ninety-Two
Columbus sailed the ocean blue.
Celebrate Columbus Day by getting lost, planting a flag and saying:
“I meant to do that!”
Maxine 12 October 2020!
Today I spoke with nine people about today being Columbus Day. After a few minutes I told each one that I came across a fun test online this morning. (Didn’t really, I made it up.) One of the questions: name a year in the 15th century when something big happened. Nobody could. So I said, just take a wild guess...
All nine people guessed 15-something. :(
