[From “Kamala vs. Columbus”]

KAMALA Harris delivered the above statement yesterday in “honor” of “Indigenous People’s Day.” Of course, we’ve long known what it would mean when the name of this day was changed from Columbus Day and given this mouthful of a name. Communists love to change holidays and to eradicate the roots of the people they conquer — while maintaining their own. Still Kamala’s openly Marxist comments and undisguised contempt (notice her facial expressions) for America’s origins — on a day once devoted to patriotism — are shocking even for her. These are the words of a dangerous revolutionary. Furthermore, they are false, or at the very least highly slanted

Columbus Day used to be a day to love America. Now it’s a day to hate it. Again, look at the anger. She has all but said, “Get Whitey”

“We must not shy away” from the truth, Harris says

The truth is, no people have been more interested in the crimes of their ancestors than European-Americans[…]They do not “shy away” from admitting wrongs

The truth is, most white Americans have heard and indulged a great deal about the sins of their collective past. Now, they need to “not shy away” from what their forefathers did right in civilizing the often-violent native peoples, who were engaged in continual warfare with each other

Jeff Fyn-Paul in his book Not Stolen: The Truth About European Colonialism in the New World[…]is one author who does a fairly good job of debunking one myth of Columbus and genocidal Europeans:

[W]hile it is true that thousands of people died as a result of Spanish maladministration and forced labor (perhaps up to twenty-five thousand over the course of fifty years), the number of Indigenous people killed in military engagements or wanton violence probably numbered about two or three thousand[…]The great majority of those who died—easily over 90 percent—were victims of disease rather than cruelty[…]
