Mildly surprised the GetBig white supremacists are celebrating a fat, lost Italian for “discovering” something the Vikings had found five hundred years prior.

This country was built on the blood of the innocent.
This is why you see it invade countries over mocked up pretences and kill millions in the process, this is why it's citizen's don't get along and sometimes take it out on each other (Vegas shooting) exterminating humans is in their blood. Snakes are gona snake.

All due respect to Chris Columbus.
But i'm more of a Amerigo Vespucci-guy myself.
Without him the country wouldn't be called America but instead Colon.

I was just going to post something about Amerigo. Was he apart of Columbus's crew? Why did he get to supposedly name America?
Is it all just propaganda bullshit? I mean, were we there to verify these accounts that they religiously teach to children in school?
I suppose we are just supposed to tow the company line.

He changed the World....Monumental..... .Transformed a land of primitive savages into the the Worlds most advanced and prosperous country....They would still be living in mud huts without Columbus....

Amerigo Vespucci (March 9, 1454 – February 22, 1512) was an Italian explorer, financier, navigator and cartographer who first demonstrated that Brazil and the West Indies did not represent Asia's eastern outskirts as initially conjectured from Columbus' voyages (noob Columbus), but instead constituted an entirely separate landmass hitherto unknown to people of the Old World.
Colloquially referred to as the New World, this second super continent came to be termed "Americas", deriving its name from Americus, the Latin version of Vespucci's first name.
Some have suggested that Vespucci, in the two letters published in his lifetime, was exaggerating his role and constructed deliberate fabrications. However, many scholars now believe that the two letters were not written by him but were fabrications by others based in part on genuine letters by Vespucci. It was the publication and widespread circulation of the letters that might have led Waldseemüller to name the new continent America on his world map of 1507 in Lorraine.
Vespucci used a Latinised form of his name, Americus Vespucius, in his Latin writings, which Waldseemüller used as a base for the new name, taking the feminine form America, according to the prevalent view.
The book accompanying the map stated:
"I do not see what right any one would have to object to calling this part, after Americus who discovered it and who is a man of intelligence, Amerige, that is, the Land of Americus, or America:
since both Europa and Asia got their names from women".
It is possible that Vespucci was not aware that Waldseemüller had named the continent after him.
The two disputed letters claim that Vespucci made four voyages to America, while at most two can be verified from other sources.
At the moment, there is a dispute between historians on when Vespucci visited the mainland the first time.
Some historians like Germán Arciniegas and Gabriel Camargo Pérez think that his first voyage was made in June 1497 with the Spanish Pilot Juan de la Cosa.
Vespucci's real historical importance may well rest more in his letters, whether he wrote them all or not, than in his discoveries.
From these letters, the European public learned about the newly discovered continents of the Americas for the first time; its existence became generally known throughout Europe within a few years of the letters' publication.

Yes, thank you indigenous people. Thank you for being weak, stupid, and easy to conquer. I'm enjoying the land that used to be yours but is now mine.
-
Waaaaaaaaah, the natives. They've contributed absolutely nothing to human advancement. Nothing but a bunch fat, lazy, diabetic, alcoholic, women beating rapists and that includes children.
;D Muh feathers.

History is nothing more that civilizations struggling to survive, conquering their enemies and taking the spoils of victory.
We are the best at it. I do not apologize. If they had superiority over us they would have done the same probably worse.

Actually no. My people have become a bunch of delusional phaggots and we are about to be taken over by the inbred mooslim horde and their sub 85 IQs.
We have the power to crush these enemies but we won't do it because of Marxist brainwashing from the education system and the media.

Spot on analysis. Self destructive.

Exactly, because we declared independence from England and then handed their asses to them.
Feels good.

So It feels good to fight "your own people" as you say? Shit, no wonder why we can't have peace, when white people can't even get along with other white people.
Don't you see how dumb this all sounds?

White people dont get enough credit for all the good we have done.

...and yet we have to celebrate "Black History month" every year. There isn't enough black history to fill a dixie cup.
Fuck the indigenous people. If they could have conquered us they would have. They lost, now fuck off.

Hey Coach, lets go hang out in EAST L.A. Since you're Hispanic, I know im well protected.

There were no people indigenous to the Americas. Everyone came from somewhere else, starting out in Africa with Australopithecus Afarensis or something. Scientists aren't even sure how the first (not indigenous) people got to America, whether by walking over the Bering Straight post ice age or via other methods from Europe (the Solutrean Hypothesis). There were also multiple waves of migration so no one here at the time of Columbus had any greater claim than he did. They took it from others same as the Europeans eventually did.
-
There were no indigenous people in the Americas. They all came from somewhere else, just like Columbus.

That's right, I forgot America IS a melting pot. So, can you explain Canada? What about Europe? Are they "melting pots" too?
Why is it that only white countries are expected to embrace multiculturalism?
-
😂😂😂😂
Every day is Indigenous People's day in Canada.

Yep, we're all decendents of Africa, remember Shizzo? So this wasn't "their land".

I get it- you are trolling. But good trolls at least make things SOUND real, lol. The population of "Native Americans" in 1790 was about 100,000. So you are off by 99.9 million, assuming that every last one of them was killed.

100,000 in 1790, from coast to coast, or just in the 13 states? There was only 3.9 million people in the "states" in 1790. The Spanish had West of The Mississippi.
The gross area of the United Sates was 827,844 square miles, but the settled area was only 239,935 square miles, or about 29 percent of the total

From what I can find, no one really knows how many, but a figure of 100K is reasonable for the areas inhabited by the 13 colonies. Beyond that it's a guess but 100 million is an absolute joke. Apparently "Indians" include all those in Central and South America.
I didn't realize the Natives didn't have horses until the white man brought them. So they couldn't travel far. This fact, and the limited ability for the land to supply food, meant the "Native American" population never exceeded 1 million pre European colonization even it were possible, based on anthropological studies.

If you want to get technical, the "horse" was already in North America, it became extinct around 10,000 years ago. They were reintroduced by Columbus.
And if I remember the Native North Americans were taller than the Euros, due to high protein diets.

Yes, thank you indigenous people. Thank you for being weak, stupid, and easy to conquer. I'm enjoying the land that used to be yours but is now mine.
Yes well done...your people, as immigrants, over run a country....then have the audacity to bitch about people coming to your shores!
The same dickheads who cry about people not saluting a flag...an inanimate object that doesn't stand for anything other than imperialism and the oligarchy that controls 'Merica!
An conglomerate with an army...not a country to be swear allegiance to...
And, pray tell, just what exactly what are you all so proud of...

People get all pissy when I say I am not the least patriotic and certainly would not risk my life to 'serve/protect' this country.
Just because I was born here doesn't mean I have to be grateful or proud of some land mass.

This should not be an official holiday. Neither one should. Just another day for some people to get off. In fact, schools were open yesterday here in Los Angeles, but courts, mail, other government services were not. Sad. But way too many 'official' holidays.
Call it what you what. Columbus Day. Indigenous Peoples Day. National Donut Day.
I don't care.
But wasting taxpayer money is giving government people another day off - while many of us have to work - that I do care.
From LA Times
"Throughout the 1800s and 1900s, civic leaders hailed Columbus as the man who brought culture and civilization to the Americas and in so doing planted the seeds that grew into the democratic republic of the United States. They honored this proto-Founding Father in innumerable proclamations, statues, monuments, street names and public plazas. All this adoration culminated in 1937, when, following massive Italian immigration to the U.S., the federal government proclaimed a national holiday in his honor. The city of Los Angeles followed suit that year.
Today, however, those who know most about the life of Columbus see him as more than a skilled mariner, expert promoter and courageous
explorer. Increasingly they point to the other aspects of his character and life: his arrogance, his poor administration of his colonial ventures and his blinkered conscience, which was untroubled by the enslavement of Native Peoples, even when doing so went against the wishes of his royal backers."

Again - this was a fringe facebook post by someone who is way off their rocker, that others posted as official BLM lists - you can find anything from any side and make it an issue - no matter what race or religion. In a time when many people, regardless of race, religion - are struggling - it is tough to explain many others why someone should get something from you for free. Many people have had issues and struggles out there. The key is to work together to make is work - not keep blaming and trying to change history to make it PC.

You already have muslims trying to enforce sharia in neighboorhoods in your country. When britian is no longer perhaps you will feel differently, but by then it will be too late.
