worth defending. The PC left assholes can go F themselves or each other.
 
We should have a Ted Kennedy Day on August 25th

I don't know why we need to celebrate a slave trader who didn't even land on North America.

If anything, we should be honoring Leif Ericson, a viking who actually was the first European to land on the New Workd, AND on North America. He came several hundred years before Columbus.

Even Leif Ericson had slaves. Everybody had slaves before anyone ever came here.

"Why did Erik the Red travel all the way out to Greenland from his native Norse nation? Because he had been banished! Not once, but twice! First, he was expelled from Norway for ten years for the crime of manslaughter. Then, after settling in Iceland for some time, he was again exiled, this time for the murder of a series of men in the fallout of a landslide that his slaves had started..."

"Today’s 'woke' culture, which has held Columbus accountable for the chain of disasters that followed in his wake in the Caribbean and South America is not only unfair to him, but it overlooks the essence of the man.

"Not of Spanish culture, Columbus was at heart a simple but ambitious individualist -- a seafaring explorer and evangelist.

"He had neither interest in founding colonies nor was he an effective leader and administrator of strong-headed hidalgos that undertook setting up colonial outposts at the behest of Isabella."

Columbus was a capitalist who saw no problem with profiting from human slavery; the institution he helped augment has endured for five centuries based on principles of genocide and colonization.

"To celebrate Columbus is to celebrate a legacy of genocide, slavery, rape and plunder.

"It commemorates the violent and bloody accumulation of capital for the ruling classes of Europe and, later, the U.S.o_O

"When he landed in the islands now known as the Bahamas, Columbus encountered the Arawak Indians, whose kindness and generosity he noted in his journal and letters.

"Columbus quickly took a group of Arawaks captive, hoping they could lead him to gold.

"He then sailed to Hispaniola-Haiti and the Dominican Republic-where he enslaved even more Indians."

Fake holiday for a butcher.
But worth defending and getting pissy about for you just and righteous members of Alt-Right Nation. :)

Well duhh, Captain Obvious. That's what Spaniards did back then. They weren't the pussy socialists they are today.
