“Yes, some native tribes were enlightened societies but many were not.”
Where were these libertarian utopias and why have I not heard of them?
Including, among indigenous peoples.
So was human sacrifice. Again, no excuse for people who were nominally Christian, but again, it was a brutal world they lived in. They had just finished a 700 year war against the muslims and were pretty rough around the edges themselves.
Humans migrate for many reasons. The “indigenous” people in America migrated. When two groups of people run into each other, many times the inferior culture disappears or is absorbed into the superior one.
The Europeans were superior in technology, science, weaponry, social organization, organized religion, laws, governments, building, medicine, transportation and so on. The people who were here were overrun, as the europeans population increased and needed more space and resources. Wars were fought and land settled and the people with seniority lost out. Those are the facts of life.
This anti-columbus movement is anchored by leftists and Mexicans in the US who forget they have Spanish blood in them.
Columbus was brave and a great explorer. As a person of European descent, I am thankful he came here. I know his voyages lead to the greatest nation in the history of the word. That’s why I celebrate Columbus day. If you want a day get your own.
Seems to me I read somewhere 0’Pinhead has a degree in history...no wonder he doesn’t know $h!t ‘bout history!
ALL Indoctrination/No history!
Real Education is self-education, NOT edu.

Political correctness? No, no. Political destruction!
Even then, the Zelda character as an a**!
“The legacy of America is in big trouble”.
They want to erase as much of America as they can so that in the future there will be nothing to compare their hell hole with. People will not know what they lost.
Its so islamic to weaken and remove the history of the victim. It aids the destruction and helps insure the victory.
Every American institution is under assault today.
Actually, we can look across the ocean and see the same march going on.
THEY fully anticipated a Hillary win as evidenced in the dovetailing of other events.
Yes, some native tribes were enlightened societies but many were not. After inter-indigenous battles, torture and enslavement were often on the menu for the losers.
...
Everybody is an immigrant in the Americas. The only indigenous humans are in Africa.
BOR had a platform to discuss the societal problems we face - what happened to his TV show?
The leftists, because of their evil self-righteous nature, want to count only the bad. From what I've read Columbus committed or allowed appalling atrocities, including murder, rape, slavery, theft, and more. But he was the first modern European to sail "off the map" to North America.
Meh, Columbus is over credited. And now over blamed. He wasn’t the first, good chunks of Europe already knew there was another contintnet, he didn’t even hit the US proper, and the important part was really what came after (half of Europe) not him. So he probably doesn’t actually deserve a holiday, he also doesn’t deserve all this hatred.
Columbus discovered a new continent to the rest of the world. A country within that continent would become the United States, which is the hope of free people everywhere. He also proved beyond a shadow of a doubt the Earth was round.
Whatever else Columbus did on the other side of the ledger, it is dwarfed by his achievements. He was not responsible for millions being enslaved. That can’t be put on his shoulders.
