- Jesus Hotroddy, that's the most racist thing ive heard in months. I have a lot of native friends. If that's rare to you, get familiar.shellie
- These people have gone through so much. As a black American, i understand.shellie
- I'm from venezuela, and hugo chavez said the very same thing. He used the anti european sentiment to justify the expopriation of lands and companies.hotroddy
- and now everyone (including native american venezuelans) are living in a hell due to his hateful and ignorant policies.hotroddy
- one of his first and many rethorical policies was changing it to indigenous day back in 2002.hotroddy
- shellie, may I ask how are you suffering from being a black american?hotroddy
- you Trinidadian ancestors came to US for a better life? no?hotroddy
- WOW... Hotroddy ignoring ALL historic documented history and data. You sir are a moron lolnecromation
- I have so much respect for the First Nations, we have so much to learn from them, yet we ignore them. Fuck Christopher Columbus, yes, I totally agree.Bennn
- Better just to resort to name calling and not engage in a dialogue. All should be heard. Then we can see who's got nothin to say.robthelad
- there is 'being heard' and then there is plain stupidness. I don't have to speak to brick to know i'm not gonna get a intelligent answer backnecromation
- Columbus never even set foot in North America. Is Canada alone over here in *not* having a Columbus fetish?i_monk
- In western canada, natives had 'warriors' slaughtering each others tribes for thousands of years. Then pale face showed up, kicked their ass proper & stopped itBustySaintClaire
- according to nEil Degrass Tyson, Colombus "dicsovering" america is the single most important event in mankind's history._niko
- Benn, think of everyting we have, think of advancements in technology, flight, space exploration, nuclear, medicine etc, etc. non would have happened without_niko
- ...us being here. Yeah it's shitty the natives got displaced through war, famine and disease, but they were fighting and killing eachother, steaing eachothers_niko
- ...land for tens of thousands of years before Europeans came over._niko
- such a strange and awkward meme, what's the purpose and or context?utopian
- hotroddy... wow....pango
- its a screen shot from a video.pango
- https://www.youtube.…pango
- _niko. that's the dumbest defence ever. "hey people were killing people all the time. whats big deal if we commit genocide?"pango
- it's true though, we all came from somewhere through a history of blood, murder and genocide. Not saying it's ok just the truth._niko
- the trick is to not let it happen again._niko
- negating the huge historic importance of the discovery of america by the spanish is something left for cretinsernexbcn
- *facepalm* i personally have been hartassed by cops. Racist things have been screamed at me in the street. Im afraid for my life traveling the statesshellie
- That stuff if fucking real. People who act like its all made up are part of the problem.shellie
- if you want to compare what each empire did on their conquered territories, I think the spanish were the least violent, they extended their laws to the new landernexbcn
- they also mixed with the natives, created universities, compare that for example with what the english did to the NA indiansernexbcn
- unless you are an aztec living in the jungle you don't have anything to say or complain about something that happened 500 years ago, it's done, it's historyernexbcn
- I'm also from Venezuela and we celebrate Columbus day, we speak spanish because of that historic event, is part of our historyernexbcn
- we later fought the spanish to get our independence, we also liberated 6 other countries from the spanishernexbcn
- but we still commemorate the discovery of the continent, it was an event that changed not only our continent but the whole world foreverernexbcn
- being mad at this is like kids nowadays being mad at about stuff the actors say on reruns of Friends or any show from 20 years ago, FFSernexbcn
- really? the effect of history doesn't exist anymore? also why celebrate columbus? he never actually set food in america. nor the first to discover it.pango
- and how do you discover something when people live here already?pango
- @pango what the fuck are you babbling about? Columbus did not set foot on America? he fucking discovered the thingernexbcn
- Columbus is the reason 600 million people speak spanish, the whole fucking latin america, did you skip history lessons at school?ernexbcn
- read + learn https://en.wikipedia…ernexbcn
- if it weren't the spanish empire it would have been another empire, that shit was bound to happen, you can't be fake outraged about stuff from 500 years agoernexbcn
- it radically changed not only the conquered territory but also the geopolitics of europe, spain became a huge empire due the riches of americaernexbcn
- plus the exchange of animal and vegetable species, hell even diseases, it marked an huge point in human historyernexbcn
- outrage? not really. im not native. the dude is a fraud. what did he accomplish exactly?pango
- he discover the thing? hmmm people already lived here. viking came here first. so why people celebrate him being first or discovered the thing?pango
- sounds like a exaggerated participation trophy.pango
- also isn't it weird celebrating columbus day when natives still lives here? " ah HA Fuck Yeah! we killed you good and took your land!"pango
- lol pango, don't Bennn out on us now_niko
- he was the first to put it on a map. you would be here pango if he hadn't.hotroddy
- and its pretty ridiculous for anyone living in the new world to wish for a pre Columbus era.hotroddy
- sorry pango, no mean to offend, but you are clearly ignorant on the subject at handernexbcn
- no. like someone's argument here. if he didn't someone else would have. so what exactly are people celebrating columbus day for?pango
- and you probably still think about the US when people refer to "America", America is the whole continenternexbcn
- we can also discuss the stupidity of putting whatever blame you attribute to the events that followed the discovery solely on Colombus, he simply sailed thereernexbcn
- people didn't celebrate Columbus day before 1907. it started because italian immigrants wants to fit in. also they were being lynched for being not he same aspango
- Pango, do you feel guilty for living here? do you think Columbus landing here erases 400 years of progress and innovation? think of the arts, movies, music_niko
- ...technology, travel, space exploration, books, and a billion other things that have made our planet a better place._niko
- the majority of the people in america. ohhh racism. it just likes to pop up everywhere.pango
- like do you feel so bad about what Columbus did 400 yaers ago that you'd be willing to leave? come on man lol_niko
- lol 'at someone else would have.' It would have most likely been another European which you would have resented.hotroddy
- if countries under the Spanish empire that fought the independence from them can celebrate Columbus day you have no say on this matter buddyernexbcn
- this dude can't even comprehend how that discovery changed both America and Europe forever, it's like arguing with a flat eartherernexbcn
- ok boys, it's settled, looks like she's wearing L'Oréal autumn make-up with the 'empower' lip colourBustySaintClaire
- guilty? not. i didn't kill more than a quarter million people like columbus's crew. yes "someone else would have" so why do people celebrate Columbus day?pango
- "if countries under the Spanish empire..."
sure. then why do we? we're not Spanish empire that fought the independence from them.pango - "resented". not quite. more just trying to figure why people celebrate columbus day. that guy was a major doofus. he though earth was pear shape.pango
- Natives were a tough, hardy lot, Columbs' crew didn't kill them, smallpox and other diseases did. Natives killed way more natives than europeans ever could have_niko
- I will celebrate October 15th from now on as pango's day.ernexbcn
- he thought earth was smaller than it actually is (that's why he landed in cuba) which he thought was india. he and he's crew murdered more than quarter millionpango
- man it's fucking clear Columbus was carrying terminators in his 3 ships in order to "kill more than a quarter million people" fucking lolernexbcn
- looking for gold.pango
- the history of the world is of expansion and displacement of technologically advanced peoples vs less so, it's the natural order of things._niko
- pango thinks america was conquered the weekend Columbus arrived, they killed 100k saturday and 150k sunday, jesus FCernexbcn
- "3 ships" was the first trip. 2nd trip and on he brought 17 ships and 1200+ man.pango
- ernexbcn thinks columbus made one trip only.pango
- also the quarter million number was on 1 island only. he did that to many island.pango
- https://www.csmonito…pango
- Imagine doubling down on celebrating a guy getting lost going to India, who went on to personally enslave and exploit (and enable others to, in the millions),i_monk
- "it's the natural order of things." so why celebrate coumbus day. that dude who was a doofus.pango
- of course a lot of people died, and I hope you are aware it wasn't just "Columbus crew", many european countries participated as wellernexbcn
- while the descendants of the enslaved and exploited, those who survived the plagues, tell you it's kind of a fucked up thing to celebrate.i_monk
- european colonization of America lasted over 300 years, and it was started by Columbus discovery, those are facts, it's one of the biggest events in historyernexbcn
- ernexbcn. i would love a pango's day. hey i never killed anyone.pango
- plz don't tell me you guys are going to defend Hitler next because of the Medical Science they achieved by experimenting on Jewish prisoners.pango
- yeah let's compare events from 1472 with events from the 1930s-40sernexbcn
- why not. columbus day wasn't a thing till 1907. and he was also thrown in spanish jail for his crime committed in the new colony. even back then people thoughtpango
- he was bad.pango
- between 1472 to 1907, he was a footnote in history.pango
- but hey i guess people dont actually read history no more. only the version they feed you in high school.pango
- pango, don't use a double negative when discussing education.hotroddy
- unless you're singing a pink floyd song.hotroddy
- @pango - you have a problem with thanksgiving too. You're stuck on idea of Europeans colonization of americas. But here you are!hotroddy
- thanksgiving is next up on the chopping block.hotroddy
- lol. okpango
- Hey Pango, what province are you in? British Murderous genocidal inept lost navigator-ia lol_niko
- ya pretty much lolpango
- has anyone watched this documentary? https://www.youtube.…hotroddy
- the problem the conservationists are having is the tribes DON'T want to go back to their old ways once they've made first contacthotroddy
- and what does that have to do with columbus being a dick. reaffirmed by his own country?.pango
- Geez guys of course history is complicated. The people who colonized the Americas committed atrocities and created the world we live in today at the same time.yuekit
- Saying that without Columbus personally we wouldn't have TVs or space exploration seems like a bit of an overstatement.yuekit
- I don't see why anyone would be bothered by taking his name off the holiday. You can recognize someone's historical importance without fully celebrating oryuekit
- endorsing them.The whole child sex slave thing for instance, seems slightly questionable to celebrate someone who did that.yuekit
- A better analogy, imagine if the Nazis had won the war and hundreds of years later Nazi Germany evolved into a peaceful nation. Would it still be appropriate toyuekit
- have a Hitler day at that point? He founded the country after all right? Without Hitler you wouldn't have TVs and spaceships.yuekit
- also i wasn't criticizing white people. i was criticizing columbus. no need to get all offended :[pango
- Columbus did some pretty fucked up stuff to white people too.
https://www.theguard…yuekit - 1. I'm with pango on this. Read Columbus's own personal diary and you'll see that he was a craven fiend.garbage
- 2. The implication that the Americas would have never advanced without European intervention is.. dogwhistley.garbage
- 3. The fact that anybody is bothering to listen hotroddy is sad. Fuck off.garbage
- Then we should we remove George Washington from the dollar bill. Or at least make him look more ethnic.hotroddy
- If George Washington had people's noses and ears cut off, tongues cut out, and sold 9 year old girls into sexual slavery, there would probably be more debateyuekit
- about that.yuekit
- @hotroddy I'm not here to debate with you because you've proven yourself to be a racist moron devoid of any semblance of reason.garbage
- Ok. do we George Washington from the dollar bill?hotroddy
- What I am here for is to say that in the admittedly hypothetical situation where you're gainfully employed, dollars to donuts your coworkers hate you.garbage
- I suggest in earnest that you take a look in the mirror, because you come across as a stereotype of a thin-skinned dullard, written by a bad writer.garbage
- And yes, let's "George Washington from the dollar bill". Could you launch a polemic in the blog thread? I have a long-form typo fetish.garbage
- ok. don't have to answer that. I'm not here to launch personal insults. </end>hotroddy
- It's not really an "</end>" so much as it is you running away like a puppy from a conversation that you yourself started with your hate speech.garbage
- Also your last response reeks of snowflake. "SAD!".garbage
- you can't answer a yes or no question dude. Who is the pussy?hotroddy
- which leads to believe that you would agree to see George Washington removed from the dollar bill. Which is my point. Where does it stop.hotroddy
- and I'm not talking out of my ass -- SJW's
have changed Simone Bolivar (look him up) and made him look less white to fit with a new narrative.hotroddy - You're the one who tried to end the conversation without answering to your blatant racism. You're the one who said "Say it in smoke signals" in 2019.garbage
- I predict George will have to undergo a rebranding soon too.hotroddy
- I don't give a fuck if Washington or anybody else is on my money. Minus Ben, it's all dead presidents to me. Go on being stupid, it's entertaining in a way.garbage
- Smoke signals as a medium would have made her response feel less contradictory to me. That is all.hotroddy
- Many people find christopher colombus' voyage to be pivotal in human history and they aren't all racists.hotroddy
- No one said all racists, some are probably just unaware. The naive version of Columbus most of us were taught about growing up 30-40 years ago isn't real.yuekit
- You guys were making fun of pango for saying that Columbus genocided entire islands of people but it's actually true.yuekit
- Even other European colonialists at the time recognized how fucked up his actions were and had him thrown in jail, completely different from Washington.yuekit
- Not everything is a slippery slope. If we get rid of Columbus Day Christmas is next! This is silly...yuekit
- You want kids to celebrate a guy who had tens of thousands of peoples' hands chopped off and tied around their neck because they couldn't find enough goldyuekit
- for him? At one point 50,000 committed mass suicide just to avoid having this happen to them. You gonna teach kids about that part, or just leave it out?yuekit
- leave it out. You may think you are putting o positive spin by renaming to 'indegenous day'hotroddy
- but basically we are highlighting the negative consequences of a historic moment in time. He isn't Jean Luc Piccard with the benefit of the prime directive.hotroddy
- He was more like ISIS or Ramsey Bolton from Game of Thrones if you look objectively at what he really did once he got to the Caribbean.yuekit
- Down to feeding the natives' still living babies to his pets as dog food in fact...yuekit
- There is no George Washington day, but it's pretty easy to teach that on one hand he was liberal and pro-democracy, on the other hand he owned slaves.yuekit
- Not sure you can as easily gloss over the fact that Columbus wiped out entire populations, mass tortured people, advocated child sex slavery...yuekit
- not to mention 1.002 billion living TODAY are direct beneficiaries as a result.hotroddy
- Will you condemn Muhammad for the very same atrocities?hotroddy
- Yeah of course. All the same arguments apply. I’m not advocating for Muhammad Day.yuekit
- Muhammad day happens 365 days a year. 7 times a day for many muslims and countries.hotroddy
- I'll say shit about Muhammed day when it becomes statutory holiday.pango
- I can’t control someone’s religion or what they do in another country.yuekit
- If someone proposed Muhammed day here, I guess you would be OK with it right? He was an important historical figure after all, changed the course of history etcyuekit
- Nice pango FTW! I'll hold you to it. What do the muslims of Surinam think of christopher Columbus?hotroddy
- https://www.popular-…hotroddy
- How about Genghis Khan Day? He arguably was more important than Columbus considering the huge number of people descended from him.yuekit
- We can just teach kids he was a guy who liked to ride horses, no need to mention the 15 million killed.yuekit
- Good question. I don't think Muhammed is the right comparison here as he was a conquistador of another time.hotroddy
- It would have to be aliens from another planet and then I would be ok with it.hotroddy
- But only if I was living 500 years in the future and not being reminded (annually) of the aliens' autrocities.hotroddy
- If you don’t want to be reminded of atrocities, maybe better not to have a yearly holiday devoted to the guy who carried them out?yuekit
- October 12 is not his birthday. replacing a historic moment on the same day as those who were negatively affected is opening unnecessary wounds - IMOhotroddy
- I think we beat this horse dead but I enjoyed discussing this topic with Pango and Yuekit. Happy Indigenous Day!hotroddy
- like i said. the existence of this holiday wasn't for the historic moment cuz of the genocide/slavery/chi... trafficking on the side.pango
- it was because of the Italian immigrants needs a hero to feel belonging to US. they used the version of the book that conveniently didn't mention his atrocity.pango
- the author of the said book also write "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow". not exactly someone who writes accurate historic event.pango
- and i don't blame the Italian immigrants. they were being lynched at the time for being different.pango
- but if you're the kind of people who celebrates the holiday named after a genocidal, child sex slavery ass hole, whatever tickles your fancy.pango
- he also never actually landed in US
https://upload.wikim…pango - pango you live in a province that's named after Colombus. Do we change the name of the province? ... who was lynching italian immigrants? so many questionshotroddy
- do we change the name of Colombia (the country) too? Are you saying colombians like to celebrate a genocidal asshole?hotroddy
- you're starting to sound like the one who's not very culturedhotroddy
- this is the problem for not teaching Cristobal Colon in the class rooms. People get their info from the author of sleep hollow.hotroddy
- Changing the name of an entire country or province just because it happens to be derived from someone's name seems pretty pointless.yuekit
- Changing the name of a state holiday on the other hand...when you consider the 100 million or so that died vs. one guy's legacy, doesn't strike me as completelyyuekit
- crazy even if some people are slightly offended.yuekit
- But really the topic of this thread was whether it's OK to say fuck you to Columbus. Considering the stuff that was posted above I'd say, yeah it's OK.yuekit
- and you fail to recognize the ironyhotroddy
- so what if the province's name got changed? if it happens, sure. i ain't gonna cry about it. also its not uncommon a province or city gets a re-brand.pango
- i wouldnt say colombians likes to celebrate genocidal asshole. but if they starts to defend his legacy then ya. ass hole.pango
- https://www.youtube.…pango
- I think most colombians would say they are direct beneficiaries of his legacy. A legacy of exploration and pioneering. They haven't reached full SJW status.hotroddy
- "I think most colombians would say..."
lol according to what? Columbus never even stepped foot in Colombia.yuekit - And definitely didn't make it to British Columbia. All kinds of names have random origins, it doesn't really mean that much...yuekit
- he never set foot in US neither.
https://upload.wikim…pango - you were asking about the lynching.
https://en.wikipedia…pango - it says mod in New Orleans. so i assume it was the majority demographic at the time.pango
- Mob*pango
- Lots of whataboutism here, a sure sign that you've let down the side.i_monk
- What will the clothing company Columbia do? lol.yuekit
- @hotroddy Did the snowflake melt? I'm sorry if you crumble at the first sign of rational argument.garbage
- @yuekit What about Patagonia? Think of the llamas!!garbage
- One thing I didn't know or maybe forgot from school...the entire continents of North and South America were named after another rival explorer named Amerigo.yuekit
- But pretty sure almost no one on either continent could tell you who that is now.yuekit
- Amerigo Vesspuci, or at least that's the prevailing theory.garbage
- Yeah exactly. Seems like at the time he was actually more famous than Columbus and a lot of people thought he "discovered" the new world.yuekit
- don't care for columbus either way, don't care to honour or celebrate him. the explorer, as bumbling as he was I'm ok with, the murderous governor? not so much_niko
- Also, since we don't celebrate it here, I'll admit I always thought of it as a day honouring the "discovery" of the new world and not so much the man himself._niko
- I will cancel my Columbia Men's Tipton Peak Insulated Jacket and boycott their products moving forward.hotroddy
- Happy Indigenous Day bitches!hotroddy
- ^ now just virtue signalling.
you can't do no right, man! lolpango - i dunno what that means but I have 1 final note for yuekit:hotroddy
- without Christopher Colombus Hong Kong wouldn't have the hindsight to wish for a colonial age.hotroddy
- @pango haha yeah, it's kind of funny how bad he is at this. This gnat thinks he's an eagle.garbage
- hmm... they already had contact with asia before america... and the idea of democracy started with someone else earlier.pango
- Wow this conversation made it all the way to Asia, Columbus would be proud!yuekit
