Celebrating diversity Aztec style.
Travel is almost as bad today
I have an idea on how to handle the illegal immigrants ....
There were Africans in Cuba?
“Conquistador” - Procol Harum
Conquistador your stallion stands
in need of company
and like some angel’s haloed brow
you reek of purity
I see your armour-plated breast
has long since lost its sheen
and in your death mask face
there are no signs which can be seen
And though I hoped for something
to find
I could see no maze to unwind
Conquistador a vulture sits
upon your silver shield
and in your rusty scabbard now
the sand has taken seed
and though your jewel-encrusted blade
has not been plundered still
the sea has washed across your face
and taken of its fill
And though I hoped for something
to find
I could see no maze to unwind
Conquistador there is no time
I must pay my respect
and though I came to jeer at you
I leave now with regret
and as the gloom begins to fall
I see there is no, only all
and though you came with sword held high
you did not conquer, only die
And though I hoped for something
to find
I could see no maze to unwind

Neil: “I want to conquer the Moon in the name of the United States.”
Nixon: “OK. I’ve sold Pat’s coat, take the money I got for it and buy a ship. Remember we get 90% of whatever spoils you capture.”
All of Spain’s behavior in the New World is so ‘romantic’!
The Conquistador’s model seemed to have been the Viking conquest of Britain.
Well, I certainly am pleased that scholars have finally recognized that tearing the living heart out of a victim, burning it, and dismembering the corpse for a meal, THOUSANDS of times in one day was not a public spectacle of horror but merely part of these highly sophisticated people’s culture. How thoughtless of the Spaniards replacing that with Christianity!
Really? Those "Cubans of African descent" wouldn't have been more than 7 years old, since the first Africans weren't brought to Cuba until 1512.
Such wordiness when one word would suffice. Slaves. Why the evasiveness?
if the indians were smart they would have killed columbus and his crew and set their ships adrift.......
when they woke up ... it was too late
the europeans brought disease abd death...in the name of religion
