There have always been questions asked about Columbus... Was he Italian? Was he Spanish? Was he Jewish?
One question that has not been asked too often is... Was he a racist???? The answer to that particular question is now coming to light with a resounding YES!!!
Sorry to 'rain on your parade' America.... but here are some disturbing facts...
Monday is a holiday in the US called Columbus Day held in honor of the man who supposedly "discovered" America.
In fact, Columbus' real role was as the initiator of a campaign of genocide against Native Americans that continued for nearly 400 years.
Nothing to celebrate.
In a country not buried so deeply in propaganda, this holiday would be removed from the calendar.
How the myth is carefully protected by the TV news mafia:

Excerpt from "The Canary Effect"
During the 1970s Bush Sr. masterminded a covert program that sterilized over 40% of Native American women against their will and without their consent...Click HERE to watch about this.
What utter bullshit. All Europeans were racists, they were also illiterate and lacked basic hygiene. And since when was there any doubt about CHRISTopher Columbus' ethnicity and religion?

Thats a very broad statement...Europeans who settled in Africa taught the locals about hygiene and increased life expectancy about 30 years first of many mistakes ....as for CC no one said he was a saint however if he caused "a campaign of genocide" by introducing chicken pox to the locals they returned the favor by giving us gonorrhea and tobacco still to this day killing millions!...the fact he introduced the tomato to the Italians makes him OK in my book

It was the Europeans also who created new territorial boundaries as they colonized, and I understand forced a bit of migration of tribes to new locations to which they were not accustomed, resulting in increased mortality and disease, in addition to conflicts with neighboring tribes they otherwise would have largely been at peace with.
No, I think Africans would have been better off as a whole had Europeans never come ashore there. Sure, maybe they would have remained in the stone age, but they might have been much happier anyway.
There is no question about colonial powers carving up Africa.. The Berlin West African Conference of 1884/5....however if you have ever lived in Africa you would know that the local tribes have no concept of hygiene ergo the current AIDS problem and many more preventable diseases....currently the biggest killer in Africa was caused Americans fear of DDT
