| Actual historical accounts tell something much closer to
| the the original story we knew as children. Saying a bunch
| of deranged stuff with progressive buzzwords sprinkled in
| doesn't make it appropriate or correct.

| These "citations" hahaha
|
| What's the matter?
|
| Can't find anything good said by the natives that
| suffered at his hand?
|
| What about the words of Columbus himself, or his crew
| even, describing the atrocities they committed against
| the natives?
|
| There's no political position that justifies rape,
| murder, or forced labor to bring him gold at the expense
| of your head, as demonstrated on a few of their leaders.
| Grow a brain.
