As you state in your post, only the willfully ignorant would believe that Columbus “discovered” America. Columbus DID come to the New World and it was an historically significant event - no matter who was “first”. Chances are, in very ancient times, a people we’re not even aware of came to what is now the Americas. Not all “native” peoples walked across the Bering Land Bridge. There are far too many physical, cultural and linguistic differences between tribes of native peoples.

What came out in that show, albeit indirectly, was the arrogance of the modern archaeological community. The utter disregard of the oral history of native peoples doesn’t comport with the conclusions of the archaeological community, so they’re summarily pronounced wrong: The Cherokees must’ve built a fortification that appears to be Welsh, although Cherokee oral history indicates that it was built by “blue-eyed white people”; numerous linguistic, physical and cultural similarities between the Mandan peoples and the Welsh are merely coincidental; supposed similarities between the Japanese Jomon culture and Valdivians in Ecuador are “nonsense” and the list goes on.

All the ancient stories of the Chinese, Polynesians, Welsh, Irish, Norse, etc. coming to what is now the Americas are nothing more than legends. That is, until 1960, when L’Anse aux Meadows was discovered in Newfoundland. Modern archaeologists would have us believe that archaeology is an exact science, which it most certainly is not; “the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence” and not everything that fails to comport with your narrow conclusions and “settled science” has to be a fraud.

Because he was a redneck who came over to the "new world" where Spanish-speaking Roman Catholics had been living for seven hundred bazillion years and defiled their Sacred Mystical Motherland with his foul caucasian feet.

Those three double-wides he sailed should have sunk in mid-Atlantic![/sarcasm]

Why Do People Hate or Denigrate Columbus?

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.
