Trump's praise of Columbus omits dark history

Slavery and warfare existed in Inca, Mayan and Aztec empires long before Columbus. Same for the Caribbean region. It’d help CNN if they just hired people that took some history classes.

.....bump.......

Never mind the disease and slavery

Ok, I will if you will. Disease and Slavery _TM Chris Columbus.

Most people KNOW CNN is a purveyor of FAKE NEWS & pretty much take their scribbles with a grain of salt.

Even the most delusional Lib, deep down, is skeptical of CNN?

No dark history. Europeans discovered a under utilized pair of continents peopled by races that mostly died when subjected to smallpox and other diseases.

And they, in turn, gave us tobacco and syphilis. We're even.

[Vlad The Inhaler]

Columbus destroyed the world for liberals.

They would much rather be running around in loin cloths, eating grubs and buffalo tongue, living in tepees and hogans
and wiping their butts with poison sumac leaves like the noble savages.

There are no Native Americans - just and argument over when everybody’s ancestors got here.

The people who lived on the edges of the plains were not able to concur them and develop the horse culture until the Spanish brought the horse to the new world.

For a treat look up buffalo jump jump to see how some hunted buffalo before the horse.

[Hatteras]

Illegal immigrants? Cool.
Christopher Columbus? Not cool.

Okay, got it.

[Altura Ct.]

F you and your ‘dark history’!

Columbus was the first Latino.

Come on Tall,
Stay with cnn’s narrative.
USA bad, gun owners bad, Christians bad.
Anything liberal or progressive good.

Slavery was not “wrought” by Christopher Columbus. In the 15th century slavery was practiced in every culture and nation of the world - in particular, the Aztecs, Incas, and likely all native American tribes practiced slavery. Europeans captured by native Americans were enslaved by them. If CNN says it, you can be sure it is Fake News.

Italians are Latinos?

Columbus was Italian. He used Spanish ships to get here.

[bray]

The most trusted name in news!

[Paladin2]

Spaniards are Hispanic.

[2111USMC]

Are Italians Hispanic?

[Paladin2]

No, they are peeps of Latin.

[I want the USA back]

They talk about Columbus, but what they really hate is the Christianity that he brought here.

[proud American in Canada]

Great tagline, FRiend!
