Forget Lincoln, forget Confederate generals, and forget former Supreme Court justicesits 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 its not done through the revisionist lens of progressivesonly they can really teach our true history. Yeah, thats just crap. Of course, many bad things happened during colonization, but it doesnt negate the fact that Columbus came here and if ships, the method of transportation in which he arrived here triggers youyoure just a weak, soft and fragile human being (via 9&10 News):

Oops, good for us, not God for us.
As usual, a little too sloppy with the keyboard.
It’s usual, when filled with revulsion and hate for progressives, the dung beetles of the earth.
And allow the natives to wander around, dragging their homes behind them.
The Left is playing “Can you top this?” with the current “erase history” idiocy.
As usual, they will overreach and turn off many fence-sitters. And the Left will wonder why.
Ship these protestors off in three ships and let them discover their own Utopia.
Easy bet. Columbus Day parades are canceled this year.
Another piece of culture and history down the toilet where liberals belong.
They think the Nina, The Pinta and the Santa Maria were slave ships? In the same way they think Joan of Arc was really a Confederate soldier?
The leftist Antifa (or other groups) can peacefully bitch and moan all they want. But as soon as they use violence to imminently threaten the lives of innocent people, Antifa heads should be turned into pink mist.
City mayors and police chiefs who order their law enforcement officers to stand down rather than to protect lawful and peaceful demonstrators from violence and threats to their lives (from either side) should be charged with giving aid and comfort to the enemy.
Kids raised on Howard Zinn.
Why aren’t Jews demanding that Aushwicz be torn down?
You are correct. These liberals have been full blown socialist/communist/hate America pukes since their damn college education system takeover that was very noticeable in the mid 60’s. In fact after going back in 70-72 gratis the army, I could not believe I had a course called social insurance. Yes, it was national health insurance. These people must be driven out, and; only Trump is fighting them. These Republicans to include Cruz, Rand Paul, McCain plus more are “never Trump” jerks. To get our country back we must call our senators and reps plus the RNC and tell them-”You back Trump 100% or you lose my vote plus all financial support.” We all want that wall plus repeal of Obamacare. Now, we have no time to listen to Rand Paul and his association group health insurance BS. Insurance is not underwritten like that. Yes, associations can get cancer and accident policies plus supplements with 3rd party contracts that kickback 10% commission to the associations. They cannot get group health insurance/ major med. like that as group health is underwritten on number of employees, class of workers, (office to more dangerous types), and claims loss ratio. Members of associations do different work/more dangerous like plumbing. Some do only residential and not the more hazardous construction plumbing.These lawyers and MD’s know jack squat about insurance or business.
As I have said repeatedly the leftists hate America and everything about it since the voyage of Columbus. Its good to see them being open about it.
Columbus and his voyages are the triggering events of the American colonial period with out a doubt.
But the old world would have discovered the New World eventually. The only questions are; by who and when.
In my opinion for the native Americans things could turned out much worse.
Had the colonization of the Americas been accomplished by the Islamic countries of Turkey and the North African nations I think the outcome could have been much worse.
Lets be real. The Americas being conquered by the Christian countries of Europe is probably one of the least catastrophic outcomes. No matter which culture conquered the Americas the native people were going to be displaced and assimilated in to a more advanced culture.
It is an inescapable lesson of history that a primitive culture when exposed to a more advanced and more aggressive culture will be subsumed in to that culture
All in all things could have been worse.
My grandfather’s grandparents were killed by NAs, probably the Chickasaw. Do I have the right to go all out on them?
Not that Chris ever landed in the US.
One thing I do wonder is why the Asians that came here 16,000 years ago never accomplished much, while the Asians that remained in Asia built civilizations. At some point, they had similar cultures, didn't they?
What a fantastic picture!
It already exists! Send them here
Agreed.
Let’s forget.
