Columbus knew how to handle unruly indigenous people, if he were alive today there would be a lot less crime and social unrest.
Happy Columbus Day !!!
Happy Columbus Day !!!
I was watching a dude tour Africa while eating the local cuisine and interviewing his guides. He asked this same question. The answer was that they had infrastructure and technology and were no longer living in huts. He acknowledged the atrocities but also noted how improved their lives were as a result. It was truly an interesting viewpoint that looked at where they would be now had colonialism never occurred.
I was born here.
That makes me kinda feel like an indigenous person.

Columbus was fucking lost. He thought he was in India.
I think I'll search Pocahontas on pornhub to celebrate.
If you believe in fairytale anthropology, we all originated in Africa..
That means simply that we are all indigenous to Africa, and nobody is indigenous anywhere else. It also means that race doesn't exist, because basically race is only determined by the time since your particular ancestors left Africa.

From the documentary I saw, I'm most likely descendant from an experiment combining Alien and Human DNA thousands of years ago.
Stoned ape theory for the win.
My ancestors are on the left...............BTW
If the damn bug-eating Injuns had gotten off their asses and invented the Gatling Guns.... we'd be running the Casino's and have a "Poor Scots Day."
Fuck them... most of the "Native American" culture has been basically made-up by revisionist activist historians and native Activists starting in the 1960's.
Did America treat them badly. Yup. But have they had the better part of 100 years to become successful Americans living off-reservations and doing well for themselves. Instead, they act too poor to clean up their yards and are proof that depending on the government is a great way to end up in squalor and dead. You'd think that in a bunch of generations, they would have learned.

Personally, I like to maintain reasonable expectations when talking about cultures of people only a couple generations removed from the stone age, from all parts of the world. I cant help but be impressed by those who come from these cultures and succeed in a modern world, and I'm not just saying that because I have some native blood in me. Though not everyone likes change and you can see how some of the cultures think if they join modern society they will lose their heritage. Technology keeps making the world smaller and I suppose in time they will all come around, one generation at a time. Plus, injuns got fry bread, and I love me some fry bread.
I'm liking the use of those shooting sticks. 16th century harris.
I want reparations for Culloden...
My family wore skirts until the 19th Century and was oppressed by the damn British.
Oh wait... instead of whining like a bunch of bitches, the Scots (and the Irish) got on boats, came to the new world, reinvented themselves (and the modern world) and haven't looked back. I went back to the family homestead of Dunkeld c. 2018 or so... and all I can say is thank my lucky fucking stars that Great Granny Mechanic got the fuck out of that shithole on a boat for the new World!
Her grandkids married into the family of a fucking Baronet in the new world (Crazy Uncle Ross) and we've gone on to run this fucking place.
The other side of the family made a fine living selling whiskey and Hors d'ouvres to the Indians until 1776 when they were stupid enough to toast the King in Concord, NH and got run off to the Borderlands like the worthless Royalists they were.
Indians... Fuck them. If they get money for wounded knee, I want the new King Chuckie to send me a new Aston Martin in exchange for my family's suffering at Culloden. I want an Aston Martin. It will look good parked next to my Bentley.

I suppose we're meant to feel bad that they're shooting those poor defenseless unarmed people in the back when they're clearly not a threat...
Oh wait their arrows and atlatls could pierce Spanish maille and their macuahuitls could lop the head off that horse and the sons of bitches figured out how to dodge musket fire because of the slow ball velocity and the delay between the match hitting the pan and the charge going off plus the lack of easy aim correction.
Never mind that a lot of the people Cortés first encountered were all too happy to ally with him against Moctezuma...
My Gaelic heritage is Irish.....so yeah to hell with "indiginous or slave" whining.
Aren’t you Puerto Rican? Wouldn’t it be considered a family dispute?
So what you are saying is that you want reparations for Einskillen Castle? And will settle for a Ford Cosworth with bald tires and a case of Guinness?

If we came upon those blood thirsty savages today, we would likely exterminate them for the Devil Worshipers that they were.
Or make them cardio thoracic surgeons.

Do natives have a day where they look back at the other natives they conquered?
'The Woman King' Trailer: Viola Davis Leads Epic About Female Warriors
The upcoming film tells the story of General Nanisca and the all-female African fighters known as the Agojie.
This is by far the worst. Talk about a whitewashing of history. The Agojie women were the primary captors of African slaves (perhaps only after the North African Arabs) sold to the Europeans. Without them the Transatlantic Slave trade is cut in half, and that whole history and their economy based on slavery has simply been written out of history to make this ridiculous work of fiction.
'The Woman King' tells the story of the Agojie. But in real life, the fierce women warriors played a controversial role in the translatlantic slave trade.
"The Woman King" takes inspiration from a group of all-women warriors. However, some critics accuse the film of glossing over their history of capturing Africans for the slave trade.

Indians didnt (Sprout out of the ground) naturally like flowers. They were never the originals nor have any claim to any land. But one thing they are, is victims of a very poor and weak open border and immigration policy
Columbus got here centuries after others had already been visiting from what I understand.
Right... this should be Vikings Day and we should be celebrating Lindesfarne Day as a national holiday!

Most Nordic words sound like a mid sentence stroke.
That's not how it works. There's almost no indigenous blood in PR.
The theory is that what we call first people are immigrants who came across the Bering Sea when it froze for a few winters. Therefore, it is more likely they were chukchi or other asian steppe people. So, they came in and took the land the game for themselves. Not very enterprising at farming, they survived by bloodshed. And eating each other. And making slaves out of each other. And Columbus brought news of the Christ. And it was Amerigo Vespucci who spotted land from the Crow's Nest. And, for that, Columbus is "canceled."
Now, what I like to do for people all hung up on ethnicities is tell them I am half black, half white, and half mexican. And watch their ears smoke while doing math.
Full disclosure, my mother's father was from Germany. My grandmother was of English descent. My father had English, Irish, and Scottish ancestry. I am so white that I glow in the dark. My ancient german ancestors were invaded by romans. Where is my reparations?
Columbus brought modern technology, which would have arrived. And also, the whole noble savage thing is a pipe for communists. The idea that someone is somehow holy because of where they came from is obnoxious.

I remember when I was in middle school, all the girls were totally infatuated with Leif!
Though I have a hard time thinking of that 'dude' with an seax and a large hatchet chopping the heads off monks. I sort of see him on his knees, blowing '70's producers to get in front of tween girls.
But I am not a '70's historian. So what do I know.

Columbus was pretty laid back compared to Hernan de Cortez.
His name was Horatio Harris, the inventor of the modern day bipod.

Where ever they were from, the name they gave them selves, was 'Nahuatl'. pronounced Na wha tel They settled al the way south through South America but over time branched out. In the remote mountains of Guerrero Mexico there are still small pockets of near pure Nahuatl people. I was siting at table in Oaxaca drinking with a few Mexican guys. They were discussing which regions they were from. when it came to this one really dark skinned guy who clearly wasnt Mexican but different than the other indigenous folks, he just said "I'm Nahuatl." Everyone else at the table stopped talking for a moment. Theyre the one group who never really surrendered to the Spanish/Mexican government.
You are going to have to explain what you meant here…Vespucci was definitely not on board the Nina, the Pinta, or the Santa Maria.
Who needs a rimshot when you can have this (if it posts correctly)
Well, it tells me incorrect format...so go listen yourself.
