You seem to forget his greatest moment: being front row with the king and queen of Spain when the last of the terrorists was exiled from Spain this ending a several hundred year Caliphate.

It was actually to appease Italy after an angry mob lynched a bunch of innocent Italians in the late 1800s, and the guy declaring the holiday knew no other famous Italians at the time, so he picked Columbus. It was one of the worst lynchings in American history. But I’m sure most people don’t know or care.

It’s the equivalent of shooting a bunch of Chinese in cold blood then holding a Confucius Day to pretend like nothing ever happened.

So by calling it Indigenous People's Day, you are erasing the legacy of Italian-Americans. There's a bipartisan effort by two senators of Italian descent that would withhold funds from anyone who calls it Indigenous People's Day instead of Columbus Day and preserve the holiday, essentially making it permanent.
 
I'm thankful that he discovered the new world, bringing Spanish rule to the Americas, and civilizing the savages here somewhat. I don't think they went hard enough on that, though, since so many of us spics are still murderous fuckheads.

hey genius i didn't call it Indigenous People's Day anywhere. Those two senators are doing a disservice to their people by making the celebration of Italian heritage centered on one of their most controversial subjects.

The reality is that by calling it Columbus Day, it completely erases the point it initially stood for: to celebrate a (for the times) marginalized community that was being targetted solely for the fact it was different. By making it about the only Italian they could think of (and a controversial one) it has erased the purpose of highlighting what has become a very connected and large part of American culture. Call it Italian Heritage Day. Celebrate the fact these people came over here and helped build the American culture and country we know today. Acknowledge the difficulties many of them faced. Columbus Day doesn't do that. At this point it's a completely political act to care about it. You're either a chud who doesn't care to know history, or a libtard who cares about brown people.
 
We wouldn't have had to to go to war with the indegenious people if they had welcomed us peacefully like Europe has had to welcome millions of refugees

There is a reason the Spanish went as hard as they did, teaming up with the tribes to Buck Break the Aztecs and the other violent states.

Its even better than that. Buckle in fucksticks, its a holiday but you are going to get taken to school.

First off, how did the Conquistadors find out about the Aztecs. The answer is simple. One of the coastal tribes that did trade all over the carribean and up into the Mississippi delta heard about a new power in the region and were looking for allies against the Aztecs, because they hated the Aztecs. The Spanish were invited.

Second, how did 300 guys beat an empire? That's also simple. Every single indian around the Aztecs had had enough of their shit, of being made to send hundreds of their people every year to be sacrificed. so they allied with the spanish.

Third, do you know what the Spanish did after taking down the Aztec empire was? Go fuck up the Maya. Do you know who comprised the bulk of the spanish forces? THE AZTECS.
The Aztec nobility decided the Spanish crown was as good or better master than their own royal family, and happily marched south to fuck the the Maya. something they had attempted for at least a century with limited success due to their shit logistics. The Spanish and horses fixed that problem.

The Aztecs did such a good job, they got rewards from the Spanish Crown for the great job they did slaughtering the Maya. Including - get ready for this - making Motezuma's grandson a Spanish royal duke. A position still held by Motezuma great-great-great-great-great Grandson.

Fouth, the big deaths due to small pox didn't happen at once. For the first 50 years of spanish rule, other than the lack of human sacrifices it wasn't much different than the previous 300. However sending the Aztecs to shock troop the other savages and the cumulative effects of disease on birthrate had a disastrous effect on populations after about 100 years but then rebounded around the 1700s.

EDIT: @Martys_not_smarty is right, it's a reference to Gulliver's Travels, not Christopher Columbus. Please excuse my lack of culture.

Something from my childhood randomly occurred to me:

(Yeah, I also hate how this Youtube upload is in the wrong aspect ratio for a kids TV show that first aired in 1983.)

Am I wrong or isn't that supposed to be Christopher Columbus pulling the three ships to the beach in the original Reading Rainbow intro?

Even as a little kid, I thought that was supposed to be Christopher Columbus, mainly because of the three ships.

They're apparently rebooting Reading Rainbow with a new host. Somehow, I doubt the new version will have Christopher Columbus in the intro.

I think its supposed to be from Gullivers Travels, there's a chapter where he's in a land of tiny people and they're at war so he ties up their ships.

Okay, that explanation makes a lot more sense than randomly having Christopher Columbus in the intro. I guess it's the three corner hat and the three ships that had been throwing me off all of these years, but, if it's Gulliver's Travels, I suppose those tiny buildings are Lilliputian.
