HAPPY COLUMBUS DAY! Do not apologize for Columbus. Take to the streets and celebrate European history.

If you're of European descent and you feel guilty for for what happened to the Natives of Hispaniola, and the rest of the Caribbean, as a result of our ancestors landing in the new world, then you sir need to step away from the kool aid.

Did millions of Natives perish from disease, slave labour, or any factor that could be attributed to the European discovery of the New World? You bet they did, and it is unfortunate that they did, but to some how feel guilty and hate your European ancestors is disgusting on your part.

For some time now there has been a movement growing in the United States that seeks to portray our ancestors as murderous villains who did not contribute anything to society, and every year they use Columbus day as a means to promulgate their hatred for those who were, and still are to this day, technologically superior to those who were conquered.

Don't be fooled. Celebrate your history.

They want to rename Columbus Day to 'Exploration Day'.

For real: [link to news.discovery.com]

So why are we still celebrating some guy who actually wasn't the first to discover America?

Let's celebrate Columbus day by walking into someone's house and telling them we live there now.

Colombus was a fraud, a thief, a poser.

If you want to honor people for discovering "america" you need only to look to John Cabot.

If it was up to the "popes" and "the spanish inquisition" there would be no America at all.

The Papal Bull of Alexander gave the entire new world to spain and portugal.

The vatican made it illegal for England, France, Dutch or any other european power to have settlements in the new world.

But guess what ? God thwarted the popes plan and we had the christians from England and Holland settle in Jamestown and Massachussets.

If you look at what the spaniards did to south american, the carrebean and mexico....

You can thank the God in Heaven, that he didn't allow the Pope's version of "christianity" found America

Damn Columbus and his legacy.
