[QUOTE=Ganerumo;44545488]Columbus couldn't predict that finding new lands would make everyone go batshit insane and murder the locals. As far as I'm aware, [B]he didn't exactly call for cultural genocide either.[/B]
Columbus day is about finding new lands, it's not about setting a new colonial waypoint for the superior white race empire at the peril of sub-human colored trash already present.[/QUOTE]
He subjugated an entire people and forced them to give him everything valuable they could find. If they could not find enough for him, he cut their hands off and left them to bleed to death. He did not condone slavery, he practiced it. Ferdinand and Isabella had directed Columbus to “endeavor to win over the inhabitants” and to “treat the Indians very well and lovingly and abstain from doing them any injury.” Columbus' journal makes frequent mention that he planned to enslave the Carib people from the start. And yes, we should remove all respect for the kings and other tyrants of the past. They're all dead and awful people, why should we celebrate the barbarians who caused so much pain for those who had made the dreadful mistake of being born different? Why should we continue to impose European imperialism so long after the empires have fallen? And why should we care that Columbus gave us "Oppressed Protestants" a new haven to live in, if that haven murdered millions and permanently eradicated cultures across two continents? Columbus knew that his discovery would bring death, in fact he planned for that, he also knew it would bring him countless riches.
Yeah, Columbus was so bad that he was jailed and barred from governing by the Spanish crown.

oh I guess everyone just suddenly misremembered then
