So disease makes genocide okay?

Uh; NO 1 "knew" how diseases were spread when the Hispanics got here in 1492 so saying disease was "genocide" in 2014 doesn't mean a thing.

I don't see the big deal is renaming it "Indigenous Peoples Day".

You're right. I only hope someday human beings can be collectively intelligent enough to be peaceful with each other and stop the general chest-thumping.

I said no such thing.

You just jumped in mid conversation, with an irrelevant comment.

Are there any indications of this even remotely happening?

Man vs Man violence has only gotten worse. Death via warfare, occurred on a much grander scale, in the 20th century, than the prior 19 combined.

A man made utopia, is a delusional concept.

Columbus isn't really a good figure to celebrate to begin with.

Columbus is a hero. He discovered America and helped bring about the birth of a nation. We are all lucky that men like him had the courage to do what he did.

More people dying in fewer wars. Diplomacy is now the norm among the countries that actually have the ability to annihilate others.

That's a VERY positive thing and a sign that our world is becoming a better, truthful place.

The Truth About the American Indians

What was inferior about the culture of the Native indigenous tribes relative to the Europeans?

The Europeans were still slaughtering each other by the tens of millions 400 years after Columbus arrived here.

Is respect for human life part of culture?
