Even among his peers at the time, he was known to be an asshole. There are no records of him actively engaging in torment of Native Americans, but he gave his crew carte blanche to do what they will -- raping, severing hands, etc.
He was also know to abuse his slaves. (On a side note, he had slaves.) So fuck him. --- 2020 going to be a CE kind of year ~ Panthera ... Copied to Clipboard!

Columbus was awful but the idea that he was uniquely awful by the standards of Spanish colonizers needs to stop. Plenty of horrible administrator's crimes get swept under the rug just because Columbus is famous.

Why though People get mad about some issue or they want to be part of a movement, and they want to express that in some way. Tearing down a statue helps them feel a sense of accomplishment, and its more safe than most forms of protest because at least you probably wont get a tear gas shell to the face. --- ... ...

There seem to be some misconceptions about him. He was no saint, but he wasn't a monster. He was literally thrown in prison in the 1400s because he mistreated the native Americans that badly. Like, think about how awful you have to be in the 1400s to get some white Europeans so mad at you at how you treated some random indigenous people across the fucking world that they throw you in prison. --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://imgur.com/dQgC4kv ...

He was literally thrown in prison in the 1400s because he mistreated the native Americans that badly. Was it really that, or was the government angry that Columbus was physically brutal to some of his own countrymen and women? I remember reading that he punished them harshly as well.
