They call it thanksgiving, I call your holiday hell day
 

Arawak men and women, naked, tawny, and full of wonder, emerged from their villages onto the island's beaches and swam out to get a closer look at the strange big boat. When Columbus and his sailors came ashore, carrying swords, speaking oddly, the Arawaks ran to greet them, brought them food, water, gifts. He wrote later in his log:

"They...brought us parrots and balls of cotton and spears and many other things, which they exchanged for glass beads and hawk's bells. They willingly traded everything they owned...They were well-built, with good bodies and handsome features...They do not bear arms, and do not know them, for I showed them a sword, they took it by the edge and cut themselves out of ignorace. They have no iron. Their spears are made of cane...They would make fine servants....With fifty men we could subjugate them all and make them do whatever we want"

These Arawaks of the Bahama Islands were much like the Indians on the mainland, who were remarkable (European observers were to say again and again) for their hospiltality, their belief in sharing. These traits did not stand out in the Europe of the Renaissance, dominated as it was by the religion of the popes, the government of the kings, the frenzy for money and marked Western Civilization and its first messenger to the Americas, Christopher Columbus.

Columbus wrote:

"As soon as I arrived in the Indies, on the first island which I found, I took some of the natives by force in order that they might learn and might give me information of whatever there is in these parts."

The information that columbus wanted most was: Is there gold?


- Howard Zinn the gawd

yeah, it's not Columbus Day tho?

yea but he was the first nigga

might not have started to enjoy that story as much if the indians could hook it up with some coffee and a jelly donut if thats alright cuz some of these european explorers are fat and hungry and kinda lackadaisical so if punter and looming could prepare something that would be straight with me...

as punter went skittle looming decided to prevent his audience in his native country from becoming redundant he explained we would trade our things in the afternoon and afterwards enter his secret committees in the night there were three battles during the day time and they were all to be attended by the populace of every community in chief owigamis (pronounced owigomizz) home turf. the european explorer bam diniero finished his chocolate and biscuits after everything was explained to him by punter and looming and set off course for the third fight starting that evening...

lmfaooo

Leif Ericson just hit his wife with the blunt end of a battle ax.

columbus has 0 to do with thanksgiving

but you didnt even post anything bad about columbus

talk about the fact that he would show up on an island, and make them all bring him XX amount of gold. those who did, would get a necklace, showing that they gave up the gold. those who didnt, obviously didnt get a necklace, instead they got a hand cut off. if they didnt bring XX amount of gold the next time they were killed.

columbus was a fucking champion

viva italia

but word. as for the whole oh i got white guilt for indians. i don't. fuck them bitch niggas. i have a direct ancestor who murked them throughout the ohio valley and there is documents of him bringing scalps back to a fort near modernday youngstown. brady rangers. my dude rode a horse with a fucking musket, one of them pistols with the wick that comes down when you shoot it, and a saber like a PIRATE

when the natives were murking german and dutch settlements here his platoon was like the delta force that they would send out to murk raiding parties
