Antifa Group Plans Nationwide 'Deface Columbus Day' Actions for Monday

[Celt]

It does not matter who was first.

Christopher Columbus is responsible for the transformation of two entire continents over the past five centuries.

His impact on the World is as significant as any man in history.

It looks like I struck a chord with you for some reason, however if you reread my first post I acknowledge that what he did is a part of our history. What I don't buy into is how the school's force-fed us that he discovered America when he did not. That has to do with my gripe about the Liberals controlling the education system but I didn't feel I needed to elaborate on that to express my opinion in this thread.

And more importantly I don't feel that these sjws should be defacing any statues or monuments, nor do I think anybody should be removing monuments of Confederate generals. Our history is our history for the good and the bad.

Yes, you struck a chord in me of AGREEMENT.

As many have pointed out, a long list of Europeans, Asians, Africans visited the New World before Columbus.

And those that initially colonized these continents certainly made a difference as well - Aztecs, Inca, Navaho, and so many others.

But a great many of us still owe Columbus a debt of gratitude for opening up possibilities for us that the Old World never did.

Please cite an example of Africans visiting the continent prior to Columbus. I am curious.
