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.

I'd make an analogy to illustrate how stupid your analogy is, but I'm afraid that nothing I can compare it to would be stupid enough to match let alone exceed it.

Oh, so I guess that's a talking point. At first, I thought a pundit on NPR had come up with a clever-off-the-cuff remark.

But you wouldn't actually make any kind of argument about it because that would require you actually putting your balls on the line instead of throwing insults like a child.

Even back then they realized he was an asshole

And yet Americans will gladly judge cultures on the literal opposite side of the globe from them with no history of western culture.

You just strengthened the analogy.

Reports from the time describe how Columbus governed Hispaniola through torture and mutilation. He had natives killed indiscriminately and would order things like having someones ears and nose cut off for stealing corn.

Give it all the historical context you want, when Columbus was given power over others, he revealed that he was a sadistic monster with no regard for humanity.

Uh huh... and what argument is there to be had? You have a bunch of people who believe Columbus was the greatest guy in history, then you have people who rewrite history to fit their narrative about how bad white men were in the past., and when presented with the first-hand historical accounts, they just plug their fingers into their ears and say 'ALT RIGHT ALT RIGHT ALT RIGHT'

Crazy how the regressive left can never make sensible arguments bit are really good at ignoring history, let alone reality

Yeah dont mutilate and torture people the way that confirmed sadist Christopher Columbus did

It has nothing to do with some conspiracy to demonize white people. Even back then he and his brothers were imprisoned by other white people because their crimes were so horrific and unacceptable
