The revisionist assault on Columbus and “whiteness” is an attempt to disassemble and destroy the American nation. Instead decent people should destroy the Left and its political agent, the Democratic Party.
If we allow Columbus to fall, the legimacy of all Christendom is suspect. They know that.
The American left would prefer if our nation were led by the godless, murderous, human-sacrificing heathens so prevalent in the “New World” Columbus found.
It is the faith of Columbus they most despise and why he is such a target.
Make some other day Indigenous Peoples Day, that should solve the problem.
A small point: Everybody knew the Earth was a sphere. It had been known for over a thousand years. The notion that Columbus was butting against a prevailing flat earth orthodoxy is a 19th century invention.
Wait, draw me a map !
How does the disproval of Christopher Columbus effect Christendom ?
And he knew the world was a sphere ? Yes. Everyone did. For a very, very long time.
Nice!
If Europeans had not wiped out the Aztecs, there would be no indigenous people left. They, above all people, should celebrate Columbus.
What did Indigenous People’s do for their own holiday again ,I think I missed it
“Everyone did.”
Not according historical revisionists who want to paint the European faithful as ignorant.
What that meme says is what all Whites need to say. Let them have hysterical fits and call us names. Who cares? We’ve been cowering and giving in, and what’s it gotten us? They leech off us and call us names, anyway.
Yeah, that line is a little strange b/c of the lack of context. This piece is taken directly from the book “The Miracle and Magnificence of America.” The chapter begins with a cartoon reference to a flat earth that derides biblical “fundamentalists” (like Columbus).
Probably sacrificed one of their own (or at least someone from a rival tribe).
Perfect!
Very good!
Ironically, Eratosthenes (about 200 B.C.) accurately calculated the circumference of the earth (probably within a few hundred miles of the correct figure). Columbus’ estimate was thousands of miles off, which is why he thought it was possible to sail from Spain to Japan.
