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.

The LIBS have been preaching(claiming) this for years.
You would think they would arrive at the conclusion that if the ‘Native Americans?? (What were they before Columbus named this place America??) had been armed and repelled the ‘invaders’ (however seemingly peaceful) - Of course the real mistake was not seeing into the future and really putting the kibosh on the whole ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION scene at Plymouth Rock?
"It Would Have Been Different
If MOSLEMS Had Been First!
For One Thing,
There Would BE No Opposition.
Oh, and Death to America!"
Native Bahamans, maybe. But not Native Americans.
All the peaceful Sioux, riding horses and hunting bison on the plains for thousands of years before Columbus showed up.
No..wait..they did none of those things.
Hope you don't mind this question. If the Indians of the US are actually offended by the mascot name "Redskins", I think it should be changed. But if this is just a bunch of PC whiners and rabble rousers and attention seeking activists, then they should be told to STFU, etc. I think it should be voted on by the tribes.
Do you think that name is offensive to a significant number of Indians in the US?
Of course there was no disease, devastation or violence among the native Americans.......
So, Columbus was accused by Barky as having introduced the “Indigenous peoples of Central/South America” to organized cannibalism?
I studied under Dr. Kessler and even she thought cannibalism was part and parcel of Meso-American socities.
But, what would a tenured professor of MesoAmerican Archeology, holding an endowed chair at Columbia University, know compared to Barky?
Well said. No apology required.
And the reptiles that he is bringing in are ushering in previously unknown disease, devastation and violence.

As one of my co workers said years ago, The Indians had a perfect setup. All the men had to do was fight, hunt, and make little Indians while the women did all the work! Then along came the white man and screwed it all up!
Obama Celebrates Columbus Day: Ushered In “Disease,Devastation,And Violence”
Indians ushered in their own “Devastation,And Violence” on each other.
8,000 IROQUOIS ATTACK THE ALGONKIN IN CANADA

Horrible. I guess they will take out Thanksgiving too. Just horrible.
Once again, the idiot-in-chief shows his total ignorance...
History seems to indicate that “disease, devastation and violence” seemed to result every time people from a different area and culture met for the first time, and I’m guessing those people considered it unprecedented every time.
Apparently, one group of our ancestors have been conquering another group of them, sacking their cities, enslaving the population, bringing new sicknesses etc from the beginning of human history-so what makes Columbus’ foray into the new world any different?
FOAD, 0bama!
We know that racism was in the DNA of Columbus, and that the indigenous people were as pure as the wind-driven snow.
Forgot who his audience was...major screw up!!
If it wasn’t for Columbus the Indians would still be living in teepees, hunting buffalo with bows and arrows and scalping their enemies.
I’m sure Obola could survive that life for at least an hour.
