Myth vs Facts – The Truth About Columbus

This is disinformation.

Here is the truth.

“The Indians of Hispaniola were, and are the riches of the island; for it is they who cultivate and make the bread and other provisions for the Christians; who dig the gold from the mines, and perform all the offices and labors both of man and of beasts of burthen. I am informed that since I left this island six parts out of seven of the natives are dead; all through ill-treatment and inhumanity; some by the sword, others by blows and cruel usage, others through hunger. The greater part have perished in the mountains and glens, whither they had fled, from not being able to support the labor imposed upon them.”
— Christopher Columbus​

The Log of Columbus

The log of the voyage on Columbus in 1492. Very good.

Folks forget, he led more than one voyage.

By 1494, Columbus had shared his viceroyship with one of his military officers named Margarit, ordering him to prioritize Christianizing the natives, but that part of their noses and ears should be cut off for stealing. Margarit's men exploited the natives by beating, raping and enslaving them, with none on Hispaniola being baptized for another two years. Columbus's brother Diego warned Margarit to follow the admiral's orders, which provoked him to take three caravels back to Spain. Fray Buil, who was supposed to perform baptisms, accompanied Margarit. After arriving in Spain in late 1494, Buil complained to the Spanish court of the Columbus brothers and that there was no gold. Groups of Margarit's soldiers who remained in the west continued brutalizing the natives. Instead of forbidding this, Columbus participated in enslaving the indigenous people.[99] In February 1495, he took over 1,500 Arawaks, some of whom had rebelled against the oppression of the colonists,[59][100] and many of whom were subsequently released or taken by the Caribs.[101] That month, Columbus shipped approximately 500 of these Americans to Spain to be sold as slaves; about 40% died en route,[59][100] and half of the rest were sick upon arrival. In June of that year, the Spanish crown sent ships and supplies to the colony on Hispaniola, which Florentine merchant Gianotto Berardi had helped procure.[102][v] In October, Berardi received almost 40,000 maravedís worth of slaves, who were alleged to be either cannibals or prisoners.[102][w]

The natives of Hispaniola were systematically subjugated via the encomienda system Columbus implemented.[104] Adapted from Spain, it resembled the feudal system in Medieval Europe, as it was based on a lord offering "protection" to a class of people who owed labor.[105] In addition, Spanish colonists under Columbus's rule began to buy and sell natives as slaves, including children.[106] Columbus's forced labor system was described by his son Ferdinand: "In the Cibao, where the gold mines were, every person of fourteen years of age or upward was to pay a large hawk's bell of gold dust;[x] all others were each to pay 25 pounds of cotton. Whenever an Indian delivered his tribute, he was to receive a brass or copper token which he must wear about his neck as proof that he had made his payment; any Indian found without such a token was to be punished."[93] The monarchs, who suggested the tokens, called for a light punishment,[109] but any Indian found without a copper token had their hands cut off, which was a likely death sentence.[73] Since there was no abundance of gold on the island, the natives had no chance of meeting Columbus's quota and thousands are reported to have committed suicide.[110] By 1497, the tribute system had all but collapsed.[111]

Columbus became ill in 1495, and during this time, his troops acted out of order, enacting cruelties on the natives, including torturing them to learn where the supposed gold was.[112] When he recovered, he led men and dogs to hunt down natives who fled their forced duties, killing them or cutting off their hands as a warning to others.[113] Brutalities and murders were carried out even against natives who were sick and unarmed.[113]

oh you think it is not happening right now. OUR OWN GOV"T is allowing the filthy hoards to come across our southern borders. Biden Regime is using them to conquer this nation and bring it down to third world shithole status. YOU will be part of it. You think it won't touch you? it WILL.

Watching all you colonizers suffer… worth it.

Watching you go through what we people of color go through…100% worth it.
Writhe, little man.

That makes no sense whatsoever.

There would have been no Van Halen w/o Columbus numb nuts. If Columbus hadn't invaded and cleared the way for colonization and conquest? No America, no rock and roll, no rock band Van Halen. But then, like I said, too stupid to understand, aren't you?

QED

The Van Halen brothers were born in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, Alex Van Halen in 1953 and Eddie Van Halen in 1955,[18] sons to Dutch musician Jan Van Halen and Indonesian-born Indo Eugenia Van Beers. The family moved to Pasadena, California, in 1962.

"Indigenous"
- originating or occurring naturally in a particular place; native.

The people who were here when the Europeans showed up are not indigenous to the American continents -- like the Europeans, they migrated here; had they not migrated here, the Europeans wudl have found exactly zero people when they arrived.

"Indigenous people's day" is perpetrated in a lie and enabled by ignorance.

You are absolutely correct. The Native Americans are more related to the Mongolians and Russians than anyone else. They crossed the Bering Straits to settle here, and subsequently murdered, enslaved, cannibalized, and bred out of existence those Paleolithic folks who originally inhabited this country.

 

[harmonica]

not any more!

we know you people love criminals and hate patriots

 

[harmonica]

Well, I could point out how he was responsible for the genocide of hundreds of thousands of Arawak people on Hispaniola, but you've made it pretty clear you don't care about the lives of non-white people.

But you expect them to care about yours.

......I can point out how the indigenous people committed genocide/ENSLAVED/decimated/displaced/TORTURED--even the kids participated/SACRIFICED HUMANS/etc long before the whites came

 

[harmonica]

Columbus didn't discover shit because other humans had already settle there. All the Europeans did was take it from the natives and we should remember a guy that helped destroy the culture(and probably tore down statues of past native leaders and warriors) and society of fellow humans, and he never set foot in the area of North America. Vespucci did so we should be having Vespucci day not Columbus.

...the indigenous people did the same thing on a smaller scale
