I definitely agree with everything I’ve been reading they’ve stolen the original story to make it His-story ( History ) . It’s all the more reason I don’t celebrate their holiday’s. I have two children and I teach them the TRUTH of Our originality. But all in all we still have to survive & obey to succeed in their land ( world ) to over come the true power which is the mind. And to me that’s the best defeat…..

[...] "Columbus made Hispaniola a living hell. The Arawaks had no guns or swords, but it was not enough to simply kill those who fought against Spanish rule. The Spanish had them: burned alive; cut to pieces like they were animals; run down by attack dogs and torn to pieces. Not just the men but women and children too." – click title for more - [...]

“@ King – You said Columbus delivered Africans from hell?!!?”

The quote marks and italics mean that I’m quoting someone else higher up in the thread… in this case, the Court Jester, Lamont.

I guess you’re saying that without the release valve of sending colonists and immigrants in the New World, the Cities of Europe would’ve become an overcrowded mess?

Makes sense on an intuitive level.

Columbus Day is a pretty sick holiday, but white Americans are right to observe it in the sense that without Columbus or someone like him, most of them would be living in the shantytowns of Rome, London, Berlin and so on.

Some of us would’ve been living in the nice parts of those towns!

Columbus was nothing but a murdering savage skunk who was confused and a big liar. I am so glad so many lies white people tell are coming to the light.

Columbus and his crew ( Savage brothers included) brought nothing to the “new world” but filth, MORE diseases that was the REAL cause of so many Indains and Africans dieing.

@ King – You said Columbus delivered Africans from hell?!!?

What a joke! He delivered alright. Maybe the biggest convict in history.

"If it wasn’t for Columbus most of the africans would still be living in the desert and eating dirt. You guys should be the most thankful for Columbus delivering you from your hell." Wow! he must have had some HUGE ships to rescue most of the Africans from the dirt-eating dessert! Just how big were the Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria anyway, about the size of Australia?

The only time I got Columbus Day off as a holiday is when I worked for a local government office (county administration). As far as I’m concerned, a good majority of so-called ‘holidays’ really aren’t, especially since I consider myself pagan and celebrate the change of the seasons more than anything…even as a child, the over-commercialization of Xmas, Thanks-For-Taking Day, Massacre (Valentine’s) Day and All Hallow’s Eve was nauseating to me. I’m going to have a nice, relaxing Samhain and a joyous Yuletide! : )

You’d think that in history class, even with elementary and high school, they would discuss what Columbus actually did when he got to America. Like “OK class, here’s what happened.” But no. I never heard anything about Arawaks.
