Happy Columbus Day !!

[Asclepias]

columbus day is just another day white boys made up to sooth their fragile egos. This idiot thought he was in India.

Big words from someone with modern knowledge and access to modern data.

Back then it was a huge risk sailing that direction, because others who went before him never came back, or turned back before they found anything.

You sound like an idiot. He wasn't even the first euriopean to make it to the americas.

he was the one that brought enough information back to begin the permanent colonization of the "New World"

The Viking settlements all failed, and left scant written evidence of them occurring. What we know about it is from the archeological digs and vague references to a land to the West.

The americas were already populated. What are you talking about? Columbus never even knew he had "discovered" a new continent.

They were populated, but the concept of discovery is of course from a European (and by proxy Oriental) perspective.

It doesn't matter his original thought on what he found, what matters is he led the first group that found the "New World" and opened it up to exploration and exploitation by the "Old World"

But thats false. He didnt lead the first group of anything. Leif Ericsson was the first european to hit the americas and prior to that the Mali empire from Africa.

Ericsson's expedition didn't result in a permanent connection, or even durable documentation of the existence of another landmass to the west of Europe and East of Asia.

And the Mail empire theory has even less proof than the Viking one, and is thus dismissed by most experts on the matter. And even if it did happen, again it did not lead to the permanent opening of the new landmass to exploration and colonization.

 

[hunarcy]

I coulda sworn Columbus Day was on the 14th. Sup?

Columbus landed on October 12, 1492

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

If you think cultural genocide is something worth celebrating, um, yeah. I guess.

What about the previous cultures wiped out by indigenous tribes wiped out by the west Europeans?
You’re selective in your ignorant/phony objections.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

The left would celebrate the cultural genocide of whites and Christians.

The funniest part of this to me is that the White Guilt-soaked Regressives somehow think they're immune from what's coming.
.

I think there is a strong case to be made that Columbus was not a good man

 

[there4eyeM]

Yes, we can definitely criticize the Europeans for not being superior to anyone else, despite their obnoxious insistence on being so.

Ok. So youre saying that opening it up to colonization was the great deed columbus set in motion?

Boy
My ancestors would still be playing around with sticks and dirt and worshiping dirt if it wasn’t for the “white man”...
It’s a good holiday

His "great deed" was being the first one to lead an expedition that returned information on the previously undocumented landmass.

And here is where you try to accuse him of genocide, and all sorts of bad things that happened.

Genocide is a modern concept, that requires the DESIRE AND EXECUTION to eliminate a racial or ethnic group.

What happened during colonization was exploitation, something done by the natives to each other, Europeans to each other, Africans to each other, and on and on until you get one group exploiting another, usually due to vast differences in technology.

Boy, It doesn’t matter.
What matters is what came along after him. Like I said if wasn’t for the white man my ancestors would still be playing around with sticks and dirt and worshiping dirt.

Considering he didn't know what genocide was, I doubt he could advocate for it.

It would be like asking him about a welding machine.

But please, provide proof that he "advocated genocide"

Boy, no such thing ever happened.
You got a set your political correctness aside because it makes you look ******* stupid

 

[Votto]

If you think cultural genocide is something worth celebrating, um, yeah. I guess.

There is also a Roe vs. Wade day as well?

 

[hunarcy]

If you think cultural genocide is something worth celebrating, um, yeah. I guess.

You mean ending human sacrifice and cannabilism? You mean that?

None of that going on among the Native Americans where I live. You should stop reading so many comic books.

Now? I would hope not. Not knowing where you live, I can't speak to the customs of the Amerinds who live there. However, cannibalism was not uncommon amongst the Amerinds of the Caribbean and North America.

Who told you he didnt know what genocide was? Columbus set off fully knowledgeable about what he was doing. His plan was to take wealth from other people by force. When he encountered the natives he remarked on how easy it would be to conquer them. He then came back with a military force and systematically exterminated the natives.

Boy, You have no idea what you are talking about.
American Indians conquered themselves continuously, They were and still are very tribal. You obviously don’t understand the subject

That's exploitation. Not genocide.

The goal wasn't to exterimnate them the goal was to use them. Same thing any group did to another if they had a large advantage over them.

Real genocide has to have the explicit goal of elimination as a priority, not exploitation.
