      @@aamidjaythreepointoh Perhaps you've never read the first hand account by Bartolome de la Casa? Quotes from his 1542 account reads:
      1. "They took the little souls by the heels, ramping them from the mother's dugges, and crushed their heads against the cliffs."
      2. "Other infants they put to the sword along with their mothers and anyone else who happened to be nearby. They made some low wide gallows on which the hanged victim's feet almost touched the ground, stringing up their victims in lots of thirteen, in memory of Our Redeemer and His twelve Apostles, then set burning wood at their feet and thus burned them alive."
      3. "One time I saw four or five of the principal lords roasted and broiled upon these gridirons. Also I think that there were two or three of these gridirons, garnished with the like furniture, and for that they cried out pitifully, which thing troubled the Captain that he could not then sleep: he commanded to strangle them."
      4. "After that we were come into the province, one and twenty lords and caciques came to receive us, whom the Captain apprehended incontinently, breaking the safe conduct which I had made them, and intending the day next following to burn them alive, saying that it was expedient so to do, for that otherwise those lords one day, would do us a shrewd turn. "
      5. "In three or four months (myself being present) there died more then six thousand children, by reason that they had plucked away from them their fathers and mothers, which they sent into the mines."

      Knowles is the grown up though. He delights in excoriating the lad when he probably should have helped him understand why Columbus did horrible things and why the kid should come to debates with supporting evidence when asking such a question. Rather, he pretends such evidence doesn’t exist merely because this young man doesn’t have it. Knowles knows the evidence isn’t hard to find.

Only reason why they despise this country and Christopher Columbus is because Columbus was a European and so were the Founders of European descent. If I didn't know any better I would believe that whites invented slavery some time after the first settlers landed on this land. Slavery is still going on today in North Africa between the Middle East. These morons don't know anything about history. They're so incredibly uninformed!

I decided to actually fact check a few things and go against what they tried to get me to think. What schools and parents and society’s general should teach young people is critical thinking, researching, and forming an opinion based on facts. Not which political side is best.

      Where any number of sea monsters and creatures and savage natives awaited them assuming they even found these new lands.

Or for the theft of native gold and silver, and the taking of slaves and genocide of Central, South and North American natives. Whole peoples were wiped out by the Conquistadors, yet I hear no outrage.

      1. "They took the little souls by the heels, ramping them from the mother's dugges, and crushed their heads against the cliffs."
      2. "Other infants they put to the sword along with their mothers and anyone else who happened to be nearby. They made some low wide gallows on which the hanged victim's feet almost touched the ground, stringing up their victims in lots of thirteen, in memory of Our Redeemer and His twelve Apostles, then set burning wood at their feet and thus burned them alive."
      3. "One time I saw four or five of the principal lords roasted and broiled upon these gridirons. Also I think that there were two or three of these gridirons, garnished with the like furniture, and for that they cried out pitifully, which thing troubled the Captain that he could not then sleep: he commanded to strangle them."
      4. "After that we were come into the province, one and twenty lords and caciques came to receive us, whom the Captain apprehended incontinently, breaking the safe conduct which I had made them, and intending the day next following to burn them alive, saying that it was expedient so to do, for that otherwise those lords one day, would do us a shrewd turn.

    A brief web search revealed this, many more like it:
    Like many European explorers, Christopher Columbus encountered indigenous people throughout his voyages. There are three main sources of controversy involving his interactions with the indigenous people he labeled “Indians”: the use of violence and slavery, the forced conversion of native peoples to Christianity and the introduction of a host of new diseases that would have dramatic long-term effects on native people in the Americas.
    In an era in which the international slave trade was starting to grow, Columbus and his men enslaved many native inhabitants of the West Indies and subjected them to extreme violence and brutality. On his famous first voyage in 1492, Columbus landed on an unknown Caribbean island after an arduous three-month journey.

      Silmarrillion123 well bless your heart. It’s a shame you don’t have time to look into contemporary sources that spoke of him. The natives that he first met were friendly with him, and even looked to the Spanish to protect them from the cannibal tribe that had been terrorizing them. The Caribs (as the Spanish called them) even murdered 39 of Columbus’ men that he left there after his first voyage.
      Columbus was kind and generous.
      You have an interesting view on who is going to hell by the way. It seems that if you are so concerned with biblical principles, you would know that there is a passage reminding you to ignore the mote in your brothers eye, because you have a beam in your own that needs to be addressed.

    Christopher Columbus was taller than average and as a young man had reddish hair, born in Genoa Italy, he likely had a fair amount of Viking in his bloodline. His name/influence is everywhere, Columbia is how we use it most frequently, the name of the royal Kings College on Manhattan island was changed to Columbia College (later University) in his honor, Washington DC, the District of Columbia, named for two men without which the USA would not exist, even CBS TV Columbia Broadcasting Station, Columbia Picture studios and multiple cities, schools etc. Amerio was the first name of the map maker who was commissioned to servey and draw the coast and islands of the New World so the continents are named America, but they might well have been named North and South Columbia. He was, and should be considered, a good man, a hero.

He was looking for China but never found it. He also never placed a foot on North America. Lief Eriksson was the first westerner to do that in Greenland and Canada many years before Columbus set sail. This is not to say that Columbus didn't achieve greatness by sailing across the Atlantic in wimpy wooden ships, but he didn't discover America and he got himself stripped of his rank and thrown into a Spanish jail for some of his less than exemplary actions.

It is ridiculous to believe that only "white" people living at this time in history and in this nation are racists, and should feel guilty for what happened prior to 1965. A truly intelligent person would say: "I am not responsible for what people did prior to the day I became a mature adult nor will I accept blame or feel guilty for what they believed and did, but I will - as a mature adult - do what I can to discourage racist beliefs and actions."

The next day she was confronted by the principal about maybe taking down her decorations do to them being offensive. The principal said they got a complaint that said someone didn't like the "glorification of murder by the pilgrims to the Indians."
