So did Chief Seattle, he had slaves and also made war on neighboring tribes. So where is the outrage about the name of the city of Seattle? Is that the kind of person "indigenous persons" day is supposed to celebrate?
Well, by that assessment, we can say any attack against President Obama is anti-Black. However, I see many who would try to decry that assessment. Do you really believe that this is anti-Italianism?
When I was in school, we got the basic story about Columbus, on how he sailed in the Pinta, Nina, and Santa Maria, and how he "discovered" America in 1492. We never got the full story. Never once was anything said about the violence he inflicted. Nothing was ever mentioned that the Vikings got to the North American continent before he did, by over 400 years. Furthermore, nothing gets said about the violence from him when he ruled that area. Next to nothing.
Okay, it isn't even that far fetched. Columbus cut off peoples hands, if they didn't bring Gold. he chopped off ears when he arrived to show he meant business and . . .he sold/had sex/captains had sex with 9 and 10 year girls they captured
i've got to say, not as efficient as a gas camp but pretty damn close in morality.
Did you not bother to read anything about this guy?

Most people never bother to read about him. I never even did, until recently. Even my school teachers never taught the full story behind Christopher Columbus. Up until 8th grade, I thought he was the first person to "discover" America. It wasn't until I read about the Vikings that I learned otherwise.
