I Will Make It Brief...

...Columbus Day? So we're still celebrating frauds, thieves, oppressors, & murders I see. In honor of Columbus Day I am going to go next door, tell my neighbors I found their house first, enslave them, give them small pox, no wait a modern day disease....AIDS! Yea! And then I'm going to keep the house as my own. Sounds like a master plan to get a holiday in my honor!

Most people have no clue as to the foundations that this country was built upon. The lies and deceit that educators have passed on as our history only fertilize seeds of false identities. The only way to know where we are headed is to know where we came from.

THE TRUTH:
1. You can't discover a place if people already live there. Columbus landed on America and encountered Native Americans. Hence, he did not discover America.

2. According to an excerpt from Indians are Us
(Common Courage Press, 1994), after arriving in the Americas "he promptly instituted policies of
slavery (encomiendo) and systematic extermination against the native
Taino population."

3. Columbus and his forces participated in what we know as genocide. Another excerpt of the book shows written proof from one of the commanders admits to giving the natives blankets and handkerchiefs that were infected with small pox.

Thats not even half of the story....


Celebrating Columbus Day is like embracing Slavery or the Holocaust and it welcomes the idea that we as a nation will tolerate such acts in the future. If we continue to celebrate this "holiday," we might as well give Adolf Hitler and Willie Lynch a day of their own. What do you think?
