Christopher Columbus was Great! Here is why the Left hates…

[brass_trader]

This warrants a separate post. Christopher Columbus was a great man and did such great things that dramatically changed the world for the better. So why does the left lie about Columbus and why does the left hate him so much?
Its a very simple answer: Columbus was a White Catholic Male. It kills the left that another white european male gets so much credit for contributing so much to history and changing the world for the better in so many ways.

It boils down to this- Its another one of many scores for the White European vs the lack of accomplishments from the lefts favorite victims. Think about that.
I dont think white europeans are the only great peope, its the left that hate the fact that so many white europeans made world changing inventions and world changing accomplishments. Its literally kills them. They have nothing to work with so they try and erase these great accomplishments made by white europeans.
Add the fact the Columbus was a devout Catholic and the left is foaming at the mouth.

If Christopher Columbus were alive today...

I think he would be a social democrat or maybe a centrist liberal along with being married to an Indigenous woman.

I think if Columbus were alive today he would be a great person who didnt need to rely on the government and he would be resourceful and self reliant.

It wasn't Italians who wiped out indigenous peoples.

The Caribs were brutal and so were the Aztecs.

I read this book as a kid, that i found in my grandmas library, ,,Conquistadors''

The Aztecs thought that they were fighting gods, whom arrived from the sea, on floating islands, - to punish them.
Metal skin that would reflect arrows(armor), riding demons that would crush men(horses), and firing thunder that would cut through any wall(cannons).
Aztecs had plenty of enemies, whom allied new comers.
They had this belief (about godly nature of Spaniards) till the very end, where it was already to late and capital was under siege.

It was a necessary evil. Not a fact, just my opinion. They brought in the civilization. If not for Europeans, folks would be still beheading people and taking out hearts in the honor of gods.

They still do that in South America. Our sensibilities have not filtered down to the hidden tribes there.

I think there is a video for that.
