In his proclamation for Columbus Day, President Obama said Friday that European explorers to the New World ushered previously unseen disease, devastation, and violence into the lives of Native Americans.
Obama acknowledged that Columbus inspired many and allowed for generations of Italians to follow, and referred to the explorer as an ambitious navigator with an insatiable thirst for exploration that continues to drive us as a people.

...because disease, devastation and violence were all unknown in the Americas before Columbus...
Doubt he even attended grammar school history with him having to bow/pray 5 times a day while living in Indonesia. Hawaiian public high schools have long been devoid of recognizing white european contributions. They were on the cutting edge of re-writing their textbooks to be PC.
Is there not one indigenous peoples who are better than white explorers/settlers? Uh, let me think. Okay, I got it:
Native Americans who killed/slaughtered, raped, enslaved, the next door tribe. Remind you of anyone in the ME?
Polynesians who did the same;
Central and South American tribes did the same. In fact, the wonderful world of the Aztecs were probably the worse. Good for Cortez.
And it went on and on around the world throughout history. If not for white western europeans spreading some small amount of civility that took root, we'd all be living like the primitives in the Amazon.
You're thinking of Heinz. He organized the 57 states. Ketchup was the first.
If Columbus were “black,” then this filthy POS would shut his stinking mouth. This skinny, foreign born Marxist would have an an ounce of the courage that Columbus and his men had to get in those small boats and cross the Atlantic.
And this POS’s use of the term “native American” infuriates me. I was born in Cleveland in this country and am every bit a native American as the term implies. This disgusting foreign born jackass couldn’t make me any madder.
YEs, really, those Italians of the late 19th and early 20th Century all said, hey! Christobal Columbo went there, we’ll go too!
What excuse the Irish, etc. thought they had we’ll never know!
More than that. It is becoming clear that Obama was profoundly influenced by Soviet era Anti Colonialism that dominated the world view of the Left in the 60’s , 70’s and 80’s and also dominated the philosophy is of his mother, father and most all of the people who surround him.
Because of his anti colonial mindset, Obama hates Europe and America with a passion.
Since Obama’s world view towards Europe and America is poisoned by hatred, one of his priorities while in office is engineering reverse colonialism whereby people from the Third World invade Europe and the United States and transfer European and American wealth from those nations back to the Third Worlders from whom Obama considered the wealth stolen from in some bizarre Social Justice based wealth redistribution and reverse colonization scheme.
In retrospect, Obama has actively worked to engineer the massed illegal immigration from the Third World to both the United States and Europe and in the United States he has done everything he can to open the doors and make these illegal aliens a special, protected class above the laws regular citizens are bound to
The most divisive president in my lifetime.

And 0bama’s goal is to outdo him?
What do Italians have to do with anything that they are specifically mentioned? Columbus was Italian, but he sailed by sponsorship of Spain.
Grania,
Do not underestimate the profound ignorance of this clown.
The people here were peaceful and never at war with each other, eating each other, or engaged in ritual killing.
Someone should tell him that if Columbus hadn’t come there is a real possibility that he wouldn’t exist. Nor would the office of the Presidency of the U.S.. Also, there is a really possibility that his ancestors would have become slaves to one Islamic state or another.
PRE-COLOMBIAN PARADISE!

The brainwashing on this one must have been intense.
Pray America is waking
Liberalism is a mental disorder.
It is only white Christians and other true Christians that he hates.
Columbus was never in North America.
