Topic	Columbus Day or Indigenous Day?
Blighboy 10/18/21 12:31:31 PM #73:	Unbridled9 posted... Do you think Columbus INTENDED to spread smallpox throughout the world? Do you think he went on his voyage thinking 'Oh my! I just hope we discover some natives so that, in the future, a bunch of Conquistadors take over this land.' Many things happened because of his voyage and I think it's pretty blatantly clear that Columbus had no intention of it happening or foreknowledge of it. Like it or not, not every single negative act that happened to the indigenous people was Columbus's plan, intent, or anything else. What an absolutely shameless strawman, this feels like something I'd read in 2005. --- I have no idea whether or not he's a racist, but apparently there are recordings of him using racial slurs so it's a distinct possibility. <cite>Blighboy posted [p:959155557] in Columbus D...
