You are an ignorant fool. Christopher Columbus did not set out to find this new world. Queen of Spain needed a new trade route east that avoided conflict. Columbus also spearheaded the atlantic slave trade and began a ruthless cycle of genocide against the Native Americans.
Christopher Columbus’s spirit of determination & adventure has provided inspiration to generations of Americans. On #ColumbusDay, we honor his remarkable accomplishments as a navigator, & celebrate his voyage into the unknown expanse of the Atlantic Ocean.https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/presidential-proclamation-columbus-day-2018/ …

Transatlantic slave trade was not spearheaded by Columbus.

"On his second voyage, in December 1494, Columbus captured 1,500 Tainos on the island of Hispaniola and herded them to Isabela, where 550 of ''the best males and females'' were forced aboard ships bound for the slave markets of Seville."https://www.nytimes.com/1989/11/04/opinion/l-slavery-and-colonialism-make-up-the-true-legacy-of-columbus-866089.html …

As a Dutchman living in France it makes me so happy to know that there stil are Americans who know their own history.

There aren't a lot of us history buffs left. Seems people are just pre-occupied on pursuing pointless entertainment than picking up a book.

Saturday night in Kansas you said that “every senator” has signed on to a bill called the “Open Borders Bill.” Except...there’s no such thing. So my question to you is...how stupid are your cult followers to believe this? Scale of 1-10 please, with 10 being “fucking stupid.”

Many people believe
#ColumbusDay symbolizes genicide, colonialism and slavery. But of course that doesn’t matter to you. In fact, you like all that...#Trumphttps://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2018/10/07/columbus-ohio-not-observe-columbus-day/1560105002/ … -
Can you name another nation that wasn’t founded through conquest and blood? What about Indian nations? Were they all peaceful?

Don’t be that moronic human being. Repeating g history time and again isn’t a celebratory moment. We are supposed to learn and NO REPEAT! History shouldn’t have shampoo instructions and citizen endorsements.
-
Duh! I think we have learned from our mistakes. That’s why we elected DJT!
-
The fact that you wrote “duh!” Shows we haven’t learned near enough. SMH
-
Let me get this straight. You wish to learn from history while supporting the obliteration of said history, so that future generations cannot??? That’s why I say duh once again to you sir.
-
How is Christopher supporting the obliteration of history? Looks like he’s demanding the truth of history...
-
Christopher is only demanding a half truth. Focusing only on the negative and ignoring the positive
