Protesters On Replicas Of Christopher Columbus Ships: Those Are Black Ships Of Death

Forget Lincoln, forget Confederate generals, and forget former Supreme Court justices—it’s Christopher Columbus’ turn to be put in the crosshairs of the progressive left. Replicas of the Niña and the Pinta, two of the three ships that sailed with Columbus to the new world, sailed into Traverse City, Michigan, where they were met with protests, some calling them “black ships of death,” while others saying the ships represent nothing but genocide. So, even learning about the discovery of the new world is racist, especially if it’s not done through the revisionist lens of progressives—only they can really teach our true history. Yeah, that’s just crap. Of course, many bad things happened during colonization, but it doesn’t negate the fact that Columbus came here and if ships, the method of transportation in which he arrived here triggers you—you’re just a weak, soft and fragile human being (via 9&10 News):

Well heck yeah. I mentioned this yesterday. Talk about total friggin' idiocy.

Somewhere in my stack of stuff, I have a picture of the 3 replicas off of Kennedy Space Center and the shuttle complex with shuttle Endeavour on pad 39-B.

Yeah, I’m looking for some past due travel fees for transport costs for passage of folks to the promised land.

Thank you, Government Run Education System.

And people scoff at me when I tell them they need to take their kids out of that failed institution and homeschool their kids or send them to private schools.

I think mosques represent genocide and evil. Should I go nuts every time I see one?

I wonder how the Italian Pelosi feels about Columbus being attacked. Too bad we don’t have a politician brave enough to accuse Pelosi of being of the Italian descent who captured natives and took them back to Italy as slaves.

And how about Desoto bringing all the diseases that wiped out the Casqui Indians?

"Mr. Samuels!"

"Aye, Captain?"

"Prepare the starboard guns. Let's give these landlubbers something to complain about."

"Ay-yi" Captain!"

Yeah, I guess it would have been better had Europeans and modern Asians never settled on this continent, and just allowed the natives to keep on with their traditions of endless warfare, slavery, human sacrifice, etc.

It’s way way past time for more than a few protesters to receive a very large attitude adjustment.

——Who ate the Anasazi?-—

No one.

The Anasazi are alive and well on the Hopi Mesa and in pueblos on the Checker Board reservation along the Rio Grande in New Mexico.

Taking one’s children out of public schools is only half the battle. Conservatives must go in to these institutions and reclaim them so that the 70-80% of school children unable to receive home education can be given a truer picture of America (Her past, present and future).

Oh, you mean where it’s just kind of left to chance that Columbus sailed up and down the east coast and established all those cities like New York and Boston and Charleston etc, etc, etc. When history is doled out these days it’s probably not exactly correct. Like new math I guess. New history.

Every BLM protestor needs to be relocated to Liberia. Skin color does not count. Violence counts. Send the violent Anti-US idiots to Liberia. Do not allow their reentry to our nation.

Columbus et al were trying to find new trade routes, since the muzzies had made the old routes too danderous.
