Columbus. Like he was special.

Just for the record: I'm getting really sick of the anti-Columbus stuff that goes around this time every year. I'm not saying that what has been done to Native peoples isn't reprehensible, but Europeans did not invent slavery, expansionism, chemical warfare (a.k.a. disease), etc. To suggest that native tribes were living in the Americas all peaceful and idyllic in this White-free utopia is asinine. You can say, "Man, I sure wish those Spaniards hadn't come over and destroyed their way of life and stolen their lands and put our people into slavery" all you like, but you're ignoring the fact that those same natives had reason to say the same thing about other tribes in the region long before the Europeans showed up.

White guilt. I don't has it.
