First, no matter who 'discovered' the New World, it is inevitable that a large proportion of New World inhabitants would have died within the first few decades after first contact. This is universally acknowledged by specialists in the field.

There actually was an Armstrong present from the crew of the Nina, when Columbus strong armed the locals into selling Manhattan for some spare beads he'd brought with him just in case.Definitely Not A Cop said:
I celebrate all the Armstrong's.
Don't try applying logic to an illogical situation. Liberals hate that sort of thing.slaughtr said:
Why doesn't everyone realize every inch of land on earth is "stolen land"? Even the Celt's didn't get to Britain until the Iron Age and destroyed the people who were there who destroyed the people who were there before them. We have made war on each other since the beginning of time.

I am not a fan of Christopher Columbus, and you shouldn’t be either. He was British, his only “accomplishment” was landing on Plymouth Rock (not in the SEC), and he is responsible for the worst Sopranos episode ever made. Hard pass. pic.twitter.com/YBEFfCnxZ9

Do you that just maybe, Columbus' 'discovery' had something to do with the work of subsequent explorers, like Vespucci?Psycho Bunny said:
Leif Eriksson discovered America first. We are called Americans not Columbians, since it was Amerigo Vespucci, that explored and mapped America for other explorer's and not Columbus. We can thank Columbus for discovering the Bahamas and Cuba. Such a stupid day.

As mentioned on another thread, would recommend celebrating it on the actual day it happened. October 12.TexAgs91 said:
Does anyone celebrate Columbus Day anymore without making it all about the left's tears over the indians? Even if you did support good ol'e Columbus Day you can't do it without discussing the false narrative.
This post included unfortunately, but I had to ask the question.

But the `they' of the Left are not worth the time of day. The early Spanish explorers who we used to learn their names and discoveries as a matter of course had impressive achievements as well as any of the usual negatives. Much more to marvel at than anything the 21st C Leftist is doing or will do.outofstateaggie said:slaughtr said:

Because that does not fit their narrative.
You mean the Texans are the latest in a long line. Unless national divorce or TEXIT happens and a new destiny charted, the DC goofballs are basically going to let Mexico take it.doubledog said:
If we look at Texas as a microcosm.
The Texans stole what is now central/west Texas from the Camanche.. Who stole the land from the Apache. Who stole the land from the Caddo (Wichita, Waco), who stole the land from ... well you get the drift.
If "stolen" is to be believed than in this instant the Texans were the last of a long line of thieves...
FYI, I left the Spaniards and Mexicans out of the mix. They never did control the Comerchero.
