“Whatever else Columbus’s arrival brought, for these peoples it led to exploitation, expropriation of land, repression of vibrant cultures, enslavement, and new diseases causing epidemics that killed millions,”
There is nothing inaccurate in this sentence. Straightforward fact.
Anyone who has studied history knows that Christopher Columbus was a genocidal maniac. This is not opinion This is historical fact. So why is this a big deal? Why would anyone get upset by getting rid of a picture of a dickhead? Nothing about the story of Columbus aligns with the mission/message of Christ. Zilch. And we're supposed to be upset by this? Talk about a "non-story." Jimmy cracked corn.
