He was just a guy...

I guess the uneducated loopy leftists took a break from vandalizing Confederate statues and went after Columbus instead.  I wonder what sort of horrible childhood they must have had.  Maybe they should try reading a book instead of committing vandalism.

Columbus was not perfect.

Not even close.

Neither were the indigenous people of the Americas.

For starters, they themselves immigrated over from Asia.  Secondly, all I have to say is "Aztec", a tribe that dominated Mexico  and had performed human sacrifice (living I should add) on a wholesale scale that drove other Natives toward the Spanish, who themselves felt queasy about the whole thing.

Columbus brought over smallpox, which ripped though the Native population with a mortality rate of 75% on a good day. It was not like he even knew he was carrying it.

 He also was a terrible administrator, who would be jailed by the Spanish themselves.

Columbus was a brave sailor and a fantastic ship captain and probably the greatest salesman of all time, but he was not perfect.

Neither was anyone else in any period including the 21st century.

Here is an idea--celebrate Indigenous People Day and Columbus Day side by side. Call it "Americas Day"

If the mask wearing,poorly educated, friendless, unskilled vandals of Antifa cannot figure that out, I can't help them.  No need to punish them either.  Why?

What can you do to them that life all ready hasn't?

They should try building something like understanding.
