I really don't understand that argument because nobody lives for 400+ years of course he's dead. But his lineage passed on unlike the natives which at this point are in the minority, by far.
I think a good solution would be for the natives and Americans to cast a vote and lets see what happens. That's fair.
The "lineage", descendants of the natives are still with us all over Latin America, and they are a lot more plentiful in numbers than the lineage of Columbus.
Columbus was no hero. You could say he had a lot of courage to embark on his exploratory journey because he didn't know where he was going to end up. In fact he didn't even know where he was when he got there.
He was sailing under orders from the king of Spain who was under orders from Pope Gregory to "discover" unknown lands and to conquer and permanently enslave the inhabitants if they weren't Christian, ( Christian at that time meant Catholic), and to steal their wealth and claim their lands.
Columbus deserves to be honored about as much as Hitler or Stalin, for all the harm he brought to the Americas.
Wasn't the natives Indiens? And I believe when they were being slaughtered fled to what is now Mexico and bred with the Spaniard creating a mutt race. Those that didn't resist were put on reservations and given amnesty "rightfully so" (unlike the negros with affirmative-action, welfare etc) but even still that's arguable because the amount of time passed they can easily assimilate into the new population/culture any time they want, but don't and that's ok.
But to change Columbus day into "Indigenous People’s Day" is absurd. One thing I'll give them is that the Comanche were some brutal and hardened warriors of all the Indians.
It's obvious that you don't know what you're talking about.
I have to correct my previous post. It was Pope Nickolas the 5th, not Gregory. I changed it earlier but the change didn't take for some reason, and now I can go back to edit it.
Well, if you're afraid of people seeing the mistake you made then feel free to wipe out whatever portion of this thread you see fit. I don't mind nor would care enough to take a screen shot of our comments and upload it into my profile at a later date.
