I read all of that

Is this why I don't have school today?
Dope

I refused to read that because I had the oatmeal moniker since 99 but that web site is more popular than me.

Fuck dude

that's fucked up

fuck them

lol.

i heard something about columbus making necklaces or having them made, and when he came to this one island he was like yo niggas, each one of you is responisble for getting me X amount of gold, those who do get a necklace. so the ones who gave him the gold on his return got the necklace, the others got the sword

and that was a major practice in his island hopping

thuggin

He was def a goon.

Pulled out his journal before coming ashore like..

"Oh these niggas ballin' harrrd.. they balling something ridiculous. That's all me."

People need to remember that this was a completely different time and age.

It is easy to sit on our high horses now and look bad and talk about 'what a bad person'...that bad person was doing what anybody here would have been doing if they had been him, and that is...his job, he was doing what he was paid to do.

We like to believe we are so full of morals these days, but really we just live in a different time, back then what he was doing was seen as a good thing, and an important thing...and maybe if he hadn't done it you wouldn't be sitting on a website bitching about him, you wouldn't be Americans. None of this would have happened.

Morality changes, our ideas of what is right and wrong are always changing...they were different then than now...why does that make him a bad person?

LMAO

Lol fair enough, sup sharp?
