Your Economy (No Politics)

[ChrisJP]

Regarding Columbus -- he's a guy who discovered the Americas for western Europe -- purely by accident. I think he deserves some recognition for that but I think honoring him for it got way out of hand.

But the social justice hatred of him makes even less sense. Columbus isnt responsible for native american genocide - he was pretty much always (wrongly) convinced that he was in a group of islands east of the asian continent - to the point where the term "east indies" for the Caribbean stuck for a long time.

So to try to erase him from history is sooooo misguided. Like so much of the current social justice movement.
