Good. Columbus was a shithead even by the standards of 16th century shitheads.
Contemporary observers were talking about how much of a shithead he was. It’s pretty safe to say he was a shithead.
The fact that people with an agenda managed to retroactively make him into a glorified hero centuries later says more about our current culture than it says about Columbus’s contemporaries 500 years ago.
Nothing is quite so disgusting than realizing all the bullshit we were fed about him back when I was in school.
He did do something no person in the world had done before. He may be a shithead , but his impact is undeniable.
If you’re talking about DiScOvErInG the the new world, both the Irish and the Vikings beat him to it
What did he do?
He went looking for money and did a genocide.
Sleep with the queen of Spain. But yeah let’s be honest, he wasn’t exactly the first.
documented the americas which brought its attention to europe
Happy birthday to the GROUND!
MY DADS NOT A PHONE! DUH!!
My dad is not a quill and parchment.
He didn’t discover it. There were clearly already white people there.
some of them may have had a drop impure, so best not acknowledge they exist.
Kiss the curb you shitty bitch. (Talking to Cristobal there.)
unsure if illustration or heavily HDR fried picture
Porque no los dos? 🤷
Arguably the only thing he actually discovered.
He discovered that the floor is made up of floor
What is this, colonialisation for ants!
One of my favorite parts about this new holiday is just how much it pisses off bigots.
