Good, Columbus was a moron, and a ruthless killer.

He was also quite bold and did something no one in history had ever really done before. Gone to America and stayed.

He also died over 500 years ago and probably only interacted with a few Indian tribes that don't even constitute 1% of all the tribes and nations out there. Why do people treat him as if he murdered every Indian he saw with his own hands last week?

He basically oversaw the genocide of native people where ever he went, not to mention he basically started the Atlantic Slave Trade.

Also even in his own time he was noted for being cruel. It's not some revisionist history.
