And if Columbus had never “sailed the Ocean Blue,” the New World would have still been found by Pedro Cabral of Portugal.
Portugal was concentrating on the prize at the time, a sea route to Indies/China. The Spanish would have gotten here pretty quickly and after 700 years of the Reconquista were uniquely prepared to take on conquering a continent or two in the name of God. Glory and Gold were good too.
And another one bites the dust. And another bites, and another one bites, and another one bites the dust. Good bye, Notre Dame!

The War on whites continues...
Well, it is the (Chinese) Year of the Rat.
Regis Philbin is probably turning in his grave.
The Cherokees even had their own slave revolt. People don’t believe me when I say the tribes of Oklahoma joined the SOUTH in the Civil war.

Oh, how sensitive... I guess it’s ok now for the thugs to burn down our cities and loot our stores... liberals ‘care’ so deeply... /s
They put a Washington Redskins Jersey on the statue?
Oh, no, they wouldn’t do that either...
Notre Dame is now a Marxist center of religious subversion and PCism.
They have hired known Marxists including a leading Hanoi Lobby activist, as professors, just hired Peter Buttigieg to teach there (nuff said, esp. since his father was an avowed Marxist - see www.keywiki.org, “Marxism Revisited” page for his name on the list of Advisors), and their football coach just got pummeled because students ran onto the field when they won a football game last week (no social distancing - they must be executed if they don’t get tested for COVID 19 before being allowed on campus - I kid you not), etc.
There is a lot more red and PC rot in Notre Dame than there was in the ages old Cathedral of Notre Dame that burned and collapsed in Paris.
Never heard of the Pokémon tribe of Indians. Have to call my granddaughters who are experts on Pokeman to see if they really existed.
I think that this is a created tribe just to stick it to Columbus, as in “Poke the Man” in the eye. /sarc
Sooner or later the "discovery" was going to happen.
Furthermore, we can condemn the killing of native American civilians in the 1700s and 1800s, but the deaths of 90% of the Americans in the 1500s was due to diseases inadvertently brought across by the Old worlders
the gatlin guns, napalm etc wouldn't have killed nearly as many Americans as the germs of Smallpox etc. did
There are no “native” Americans. The Indians might have got here well more before the rest of us but they’re still immigrants.
And none of the Indians were the original settlers of the lands they inhabited when Europeans first reached this continent. There had been wave after wave of arrivals and every region of North America was conquered and reconquered (or settled and then abandoned, or settled and then they all died) dozens of times over the centuries. So if white Europeans stole their lands, they were just stealing something their ancestors had stolen from other Indians.
I was referring to the Real Pocahontas from Virginia who ‘saved’ Captain John Smith, NOT fauxhantus, the white senator.
