On the travesty of Colombus Day
Oct. 12th, 2009 04:23 pmTo the perpetrator of the incident that pissed me off...
A] Columbus did not discover a goddamn thing. PEOPLE WERE THERE, YOU ASSHOLE. He encountered the Caribs and Arawaks there. Whom he decided to
B] steal from, making him a fucking THIEF. Cause sure as hell the the gold mines and the entire possessions of Amerindians villages did not fucking belong to him. But he took them anyway. And
C] ENSLAVED said Amerindians searching for more shit to steal, and
D] COMMITTED GENOCIDE. I was taught in school that Arawaks and Caribs no longer existed, because Colombus and his men killed them all with dogs, swords, guns, disease, starvation and driving to commit suicide, among other things. Since then I have learned that a remnant have survived. That still leaves him the MURDERER of thousands of PEOPLE.
To recap, Colombus was a thief, slaver and mass murderer who met some people in 1492 because he was poor navigator and unleashed his evil on them, and FUCK you for expecting me to celebrate him as a fucking hero.
