Columbus FYDOR
In US schools, children are forced to repent for their past and hate their country. This argument is heard so often that even Trumpine voiced it.
And if you go to conservative media like PragerU, there's a mountain of videos dedicated to one person. Columbus. And it is there as an adult channel, and there in several videos tells about Columbus, it seems in one of the videos about Columbus tells even Ben Shapiro. So on their children's channel, where for children, in the format of a cartoon, they try to convey the idea that Columbus can and did some not very kind things, but one should not judge a person from the past, according to the moral standards of our days.
Can't you?
What if we judged Columbus by the moral standards of THEIR DAYS?
Columbus's behavior was so unacceptable by the time of the 15th and 16th centuries that a special man, Francisco de Bobadilla, was assigned to write a report on the actions of the columba, especially for the king and queen of Spain.
Beginning his investigation, Bobadilla found out that Columbus was not limited to atrocities against the natives, he was brutal against his own (one Spaniard he ordered to cut off the language, because she doubted his noble origin), underpaid taxes on income, took bribes and poorly coped with uprisings. Columbus and his brother were eventually arrested and sent to Spain where they were welcomed by the monarchs and ordered to be released.

His behavior brought him to trial even then. And even more so today, jerking off at Columbus is like jerking off at Comrade Stalin. Yes, he did, but what a great manager!
It wasn't! The corrupt was your Columbus, even in his day!
And it is precisely the fact that the manyagers of America’s past, Columbus, General Lee, and other “great Americans” have now ceased to be considered great, that the springboards there have raised a howl that they are taught to hate America in our schools!
Nope.
You're just being told the truth.
You're not indoctrinated with "white guilt," you're just shown it as it is. Unpleasant, huh?
