It really gets my goat that today is Columbus Day. After considering the audacity of European and Western society to claim discovery of lands already inhabited by Native Americas, I really don’t know what Christopher Columbus did that I'm supposed to find impressive or worthy of celebration?
If we’re celebrating his so-called discovery of the America’s, besides my above point, history and archeology have proven that Vikings, lead by Leif Eriksson, landed in and briefly inhabited what is present day Canada 500 years before Christopher Columbus “sailed the ocean blue.”
Further, if you are operating under the false assumption that Columbus proved the world was round, allow me to burst your bubble.
Aristotle argued the earth was a sphere due to the shape its shadow casts on the moon and there were several scientists who not only thought the earth was spherical, but also estimated its size.
To find the celebration of this man’s enslavement and nearly perfect genocide of an entire race mistakenly called Indians disgusting does not make me a “bleeding heart” or unpatriotic. On the contrary, I think it’s one of the most pure forms of patriotism that exists today.
