Trying to downplay what Columbus did is akin to trying to downplay what Hitler did. Two terrible historical figures

Historically speaking the day has never been about CC, per se. In the late 1800s there was massive immigration from Italy to this country. There was a lot of violence in city streets between various immigrant groups. 11 Italians were lynched in New Orleans in 1892. Also the Battle of Wounded Knee took place that same year. Benjamin Harrison attempted to create a new "American" Holiday that would unite all cultures in the country. He actually referred to the day as Discovery Day. There was a parades across the country featuring Native Americans and Italian-Americans.

The fact the day became known as Columbus Day was an effort to appease the immigrant group-- not to promote white culture, rape culture, or whatever spin progressives want to put on it.

Congrats for "discovering" land with people on it. Maybe I'll discover your car today.

People who were regularly sacrificing other human beings and had no written language or invented the wheel yet.

But yes, continue the narrative.

Add mentally ill Nat Turner and you have three.

The brutality of Columbus and his treatment of native Americans is beyond doubt. His actions triggered the destruction of the Native American population and kick started the Atlantic slave trade.

Are you familiar with the logical fallacy of "false cause?"

Why is the New World the only example of a greater civilization conquering a lesser civilization that makes liberals so ass-chapped? You realize that this same thing has happened in history hundreds of times, right? Greater, stronger, smarter, more advanced civilizations tend to conquer and assimilate lesser, weaker, dumber, less advanced civilizations. I know there are truths that make your jimmies rustle, but they're truths nonetheless.

Post Christ, new world most significant event in history. 2 continents became populated, more white people in the Americas than all of Europe, more black people than any country in Africa .....except Nigeria maybe. Indians had thousands of years to unite, they did not. They were divided, leaderless, nomadic, no central government, no kingdom, etc. I don't want to live in a Teepee.

A little historical fact, Christopher Columbus never set foot in the mainland, just in the islands of the Caribbean.

Indians probably don't care that they're called them Indians, so you shouldn't either.

i dun know, don't you mean i probably shouldn't care? anyways, us swedes don't really have a culture, well outside of being beautiful, but if we did, it'd be a little hurtful to mistake us with heaven forbid, the fins. ******* seal eaters. but i image the native americans have adopted the word into their lexicon and. like you said, don't give a sh!t what people call them

Wow, way to downplay the incredible achievements by the Mayans, Aztecs, and Incans...which were arguably more advanced than the Europeans that found them.

Swedes used to have a wonderful culture until they let the barrage of Muslim rapefugees poison their country to the point of no return.

You've got to be kidding me.

Honestly....you've got to be kidding me with that moronic statement. More advanced? LOL WUT

No written language, no written records whatsoever, they DIDN'T YET INVENT THE WHEEL, the plow, the cart, potter's wheel, glass, or iron (meaning they were literally still in the STONE AGE), they were performing ritualistic human sacrifices and they never domesticated a single animal.......
