And still on top of that, many Caribbean islands were uninhabited, so isn't like these people were master ocean-goers.

It’s not because he was the “first”, but because his voyage has proven to be the most significant and historically altering
My wife and I were watching a show on the History Channel about who was really the first to discover America. Why? First, we both love shows that get us to think “Wow, I never knew that.” Second, I always start with the hope that the show will puncture some educational pomposity.
Luckily for us, both my chance to say “Gee, I didn’t know that” AND watch some of the pomposity of our liberal leaning educators exposed was achieved.
Anyone with the slightest level of intelligence must have realized that it couldn’t have been Columbus who “discovered” America. Native Americans (which actually weren’t native at all) “discovered” America sometime between 14,000 and 15,000 years ago when they walked across the Bearing Sea land bridge that formed a way to travel from Siberia to Alaska and then spread throughout the then unpopulated western hemisphere.
Why is it that, on St. Patrick’s Day, we Americans dress up in green, get drunk and do a bunch of Irish crap and, on Cinco De Mayo, we dress up in green and red, get drunk and do a bunch of Mexican crap but, on Columbus Day, we don’t dress up, get drunk and do a bunch of Italian crap?

used to be Columbus day parades in the northeast in cities with large Italian populations and all the churches held spaghetti dinners.
All white liberals who complain about Columbus should lead by example... and leave the U.S.A. immediately. Go back to Europe and hang with your new Muslim pals.
I don’t know about America, but I think they discovered the Broncos last Sunday. ;^)
So I guess we are back to wormholes.

YOu mean global warming already happened and nobody told us????

Because he's dead, which means they don't have to worry about him showing up at their house and beating the sh*t out of 'em.
