So you think that what Columbus found was "wonderful"? Are you ignorant or do you just love slavery and torture?

What slavery and torture? Are you talking about the Incas and the Mayans? They are nothing that Columbus encountered. Columbus, as far as I remember, landed on what is today's San Salvador, as well as other areas in the West Indies. That's probably why they are called the West Indies. Slavery, etc was introduced to the islands by Europeans. I don't recall Columbus actually landing in what we physically know as America.

I am talking about what Columbus found. You should educate yourself with more than what you read from sources with a political agenda.

Political agenda? That's hilarious. It's also hilarious that you didn't or can't answer the question.

You do not like the response and therefore do not care to learn. This is not a history website, it is political and I have no responsibility to teach you a thing about it. I already talked about what he found when he got here, it was not all the Taino, there was conquest, slavery and cannibalism among the native populations before he got here and observed by others in that time...

Read more, do better and, like you would suggest to the right wing "nut jobs", educate yourself.

Or you can just be ignorant and maintain a belief that Columbus was "bad mm'kay" because you want to believe that the society that was built here is bad. I do not care to become your history teacher.

If you make claims, you can back them up or shove them up your snooty, biased ass. I don't know why I even engaged with you. If you can't defend or explain yourself, you're no better than a brain-dead cultist.
