The quintessence of this thing that you worship every
second Monday of October!
A quote from your hero, this thing called Christopher
Columbus?
Speaking about another peaceful unarmed group of innocent
indigenous people known as the Arawaks.
Remember this, they could have been your ancestors being
butchered this day by this animal!
They do not bear arms, and do not know them, for I
showed them a sword, they took it by the edge and cut themselves out of
ignorance.
They have no iron.
Their spears are made of cane.
They would make fine servants.
With fifty men we could subjugate them all and make them
do whatever we want.
Columbus Day, which is annually on the second
Monday of October, remembers Christopher Columbus' arrival to the Americas on
October 12, 1492.
This holiday is controversial because the European
settlement in the Americas led to the demise of the history and culture of the
indigenous peoples.
Columbus wrote:
“As soon as I arrived in the Indies, on the first Island
which I found, I took some of the natives by force in order that they might
learn and might give me information of whatever there is in these parts.”
The information that Columbus wanted most was: Where is
the gold?
