Columbus Day

Ok. So it triggers people to call it that nowadays but even if he was a heartless genocide inducing son of a motherless goat, dude was important. He still brought european culture to this land, for better or for worse. He still established trade routes that exist to this day, again for better or for worse. AND he rocked those puffy pants in battle, so he gets some credit.

Colombus does not deserve a day to celebrate his punk ass but he still deserves to be in the history books as a significant figure, even if the history books until the 90s had the whole discovered america thing wrong AF. What other holidays should be scrubbed?

The guy was funded and sponsered by the Spanish Monarchy. They had expectations of a return on investments just like all the foreign and domestic lobbyists who corrupt our elected officials in the DC swamp.

Columbus built 3 boats and was the first to sail westward to arrive in the Far East... China, India... The MF'er is banking on the world being round to establish new trade routes. That's like Neil Armstrong type bravery.

Oh but this big chunk of dirt got in his way... The America's.. North, South, and Central.

Didnt his GPS maps tell him to go around Punta del Este?... no maps... uncharted territory.

The rest is history and although he did a few bad deeds in his life he would be blamed for far more stuff that didnt happen until a few hundred years after his death.
