    Well, this is nothing new but I seen on twitter all kinds of people dissing on Chris for enslaving the natives and killing and raping them and also not being the real first person to discover America.

    First, sure there were other white people that made it to America before him but they didn't really inform the masses.

    Second, Europeans taking over was pretty much inevitable. If it wasn't Columbus it would have been somebody else a few years down the road.

    Third, all these people pissed about Columbus having his own day wouldn't even be here in America if this mass genocide of natives didn't occur. Europe would be pretty overcrowded by now if our ancestors never went anywhere else and died from famines and disease cause the natives were hogging all of this land. Sure, they caught diseases but how the hell was Columbus supposed to know this. Contact was inevitable.

    Well, I dont care much about Columbus day but some of these people think they are so humanitarian.

    Here are some of the tweets in question:

    Happy Christopher Columbus Day. Now go out and discover something that was already discovered.

    Christopher Columbus: discovered nothing, kidnapped, enslaved & murdered natives & gets a national holiday honoring him? Well played, sir.

    it was an untapped market so to speak.

    and let me say this. if you really think the white man just rolled up into the hood of whatever native people he chose in those gay ass pantaloons with feathers sticking out and shit, spouted off " I do declare, i am going to take your strongest males,finest pieces of ass and that plate of chickpeas over there." and got away with that shit? no one popped a spear in his ass? think again, it was the VERY natives that sold their OWN kind into slavery. so while i will freely admit i am one bad ass muthafucka,i would not roll uninvited into compton to swoop up a little help for around here. but i guarantee you this...if i called first,maybe with some bling,shared a fatty or two, there WOULD be someone that would sell me some much needed help in this grief ridden economy. think about that shit,cause this is a topic that bores the shit out of this man.
