Columbus Day Sanitized

[explorer2101]

'What the hell does he know?'

Clearly much more than these moronic, ignorant presenters

What a shame there is no longer respect for those with real knowledge & wisdom these days. Just shows how successful 'The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America' (as per Charlotte Thomson Iserbyt) has been

Also indicates the effectivenes of the demoralization agenda - for such disrespect & rudeness to become acceptable.

Such demonstrations do not instill much faith in the future of the world

[explorer2101]

What an appalling way to treat this man - the historian.

These presenters & crew represent the media whores who prostitute themselves for something they often don't even understand - for a few bucks.

Luckily we do have some brave journalists who report the truth but they don't often get airtime on the Corporate Mind Control System.

Sadly the bulk of the public either believe most of what they are told or, even more dangerous, they take in the 'Programming' without even being aware.

[DNesij]

Dont get your "news" from this media.

Go for Democracy Now! Real News Network or Al Jazeera

[MissFire99]

@DollabiIIz, your statement is narrow. Aztec priests would offer a human sacrifice to their many Gods. For the Aztecs. being chosen to be sacrificed was a great honor. Prisoners would be sacrificed for minor ceremonies. However, Aztecs did not eat the beating heart. Perhaps youve seen Indiana Jones too many times.

[DollaBiIIz]

Indians used to rip peoples hearts out while they were still beating and ate them.

[felixamicus]

@DollaBiIIz History is written by the victors. Much of what is written about the Mexica was written under the watchful eye of the Church. They exaggerated tales of sacrifice to justify their genocide of a people.

[DollaBiIIz]

@felixamicus if the Catholics just made it up then why did the mayans make paintings of eating people and ripping their hearts out before Columbus?

[felixamicus]

@DollaBiIIz The 'Maya', not 'Mayans'. I didn't say they made it up. The accounts were exaggerated. Besides, Colombus NEVER made it to what is now Mexico, he died there in the islands. If you mean Cortéz, the Natives would have been Mexíca, not Maya. They thought blood sacrifice pleased the Gods. The Europeans favored burning their sacrifices, loved public torture, it was entertainment to them.

[DollaBiIIz]

@felixamicus So in what was exaggerated about the natives ripping people's hearts out? Europeans don't burn sacrifices, that's natives too.

[felixamicus]

@DollaBiIIz Call it what you want, the Europeans burned witches and heretics in Europe by the tens of thousands, and millions of Natives, to PLEASE GOD. Ever hear of Bartolomeo de Las Casas tale slaughter of millions of Natives? There are other chroniclers of Christian atrocities in the New World. To justify the rape of the land, they had to exaggerate the claims of Natives'

"demonic' sacrifices. The paintings you describe were done by conversos under the watchful eye of the Church.

[tfrenn]

American is a sick materialistic superficial everything is about me consumer society that is destroying the environment and causing much of the imbalance in the world. Whatever problems they face w/ eachother was nothing compared to when the europeans came, if you call this society civilized, a society where you have to be 21 to gamble but only 18 to go blow up some Afghani women nd children

[westentrance]

Our 'natives' were conquered by an intelligent, superior power. That scenario has happened hundreds of times throughout the history of the world. It still continues today. The native nations were a backward, stagnant culture that were ripe for the picking. They waged endless, bloody wars against each other only to eventually be colectively defeated by outsiders.

[tfrenn]

you call them backwards, but its this society which is corrupt and backwards...in history class they teach kids what Hitler did to the jews, but never accurately tell what the christian europeans did to the innocent, they would hang indians by 13 in honor of christ and his 12 diciples...mass murdered women and children in the name of christian superiority. they gave blankets infested with small pox said they were gifts from Jesus, they were conquered through biological warfare

[KamidakeRed]

I find it hard to believe that your native you really need to stop posing as one of my ppl becouse you know nothing of my ppl but what you get from those damn history books that the euros gave you with there lies and there you call them a superior power haha you are not native...you smell of the white man

[thiizzman510]

@KamidakeRed IM NATIVE FUCK WHITE PEOPLE

[explorer2101]

@thiizzman510

I am sorry about that

Unfortunately our 'Controllers' succeed by turning people against each other with an effective Divide & Rule strategy. It satisfies the Corporate Mafia as much as those who collude with their agenda

Many have not grasped that when we ignore the slaughter & enslavement of any group we all lose & are participating in our own demise

Don't let those that are evil darken your own heart against all because then they win

Best Regards

[mortisnoctu1]

Columbus has nothing to do with the North American Colonists. He and the Spanish brought the first waves of chicken pox, small pox, the common cold and other illnesses that killed off an estimated 90% of Natives in the regions hit. The only peoples descended from the "explorers" who ran all over

North America for 200 some odd years before American Colonists are the Mexican people. We are all descended from peoples who have the blood of innocence on their hands! History counts us all guilty!

[oakXXIII]

there is a fantastic hip hop band that is no more called "the goats"...they said it best (imho)

"columbus killed more indians than hitler killed jews, but on his birthday you get sales on shoes"

the goats

OAK

[johnsde1]

For all those who don't understand or better yet CAN'T seem to understand, KARMA is a bitch. Sure this happened centuries ago, however, the US never learns. They do it over and over again. The indians past is the Iraqi present. I hope one day soon that these apathetic people get whats due. There is only one group of people, that no matter how its explained, never gets it and think a God given right to kill and steal from others. KARMA. 911 was just a little indication. I smile and wait.

[ScourgeofInfidels]

Genocide is a modern term, you cant apply it to ancient times.

Anyway, the massive extermination of northern american natives relies in hands of british settlers, the future americans; spanish doesnt have to do with that. Blame Custer or whoever you fuckin want, my fellow iliterate.

[linsleigh]

Wow, Youtube is crawling with idiots. Why is genocide necessary to build a civilization? That's a rhetorical question, I'm obviously not interested in your answer.

[ScourgeofInfidels]

Oh, cmon. All this happened like five centuries ago. How could a man from that time know something about human rights or social equality? how could you be so naive?

The native tribes were already fighting and slaughtering each other before europeans arrived. Columbus and his pals were just a bigger fish. Period.

Besides, if you dont like the benefits of civilization, leave the internet and back to the woods.

Get over it.

[Papicholo1]

Get over 9/11 you fucking moron

[plumbtastic76]

columbus was a brave explorer

[puro760EscoCalifas]

why would they celebrate him why give him recognitin for all the horrible things he did to the indininous people

[weezberger]

Shame.

Shame, shame, shame...

The video seems a little dated, but Americans haven't made much progress: we're as ignorant as ever. In school, one is likely to never learn about the Native American genocide that occurred here in the US. Instead, we're taught to honor the man that initiated it! It's indoctrination, really... that's why the historian didn't "Make any sense" to the newscaster.

[Mephistonia]

what public schools wont teach is that Columbus was a murderous scumbag who sold out to European avarice.

[joev777]

Killing an average of 20K per month. Yeah, right!

[shaansmsm]

what next??? sanitizing hitler's day???

[CliveKoopa]

If Hitler had won the war, then that could have happened..

[AsiniusHerius]

If was not for Colombo,

where could you be now?

[Art4Law]

Asinius:

Much better off that's for sure!!

Filthy euro trash!!

[DewMan7474]

Propaganda trash.

[Brodavidbrayboy]

It is good this truth continues to come out.

[makezmuzic]

when the vile man couldn't find gold, he told isabella and ferdinand he would bring them Indio slaves. it was his intention to start the trans Atlantic slave trade TO england. i hope he burned in hell.

[Tearsoftheworld]

Columbus was an Italian. He had the mission to find a new route to India. He found the continent now called America. What followed was the genocide of the indigenous people of this continent. To celebrate this man is to celebrate a man who had made a mistake with horrible consequences for the indigenous people. When the USA want to celebrate the discoverer of the continent they had to celebrate the Vikings. But the best idea for a holy day is indeed a Memorie day for the victims of the genocide.

[No3Patriot]

I think his mission had something to do with the Gregorian Calendar which was finally established as the official calendar in 1582. They had to kill millions and millions of people to try and get them to follow the Gregorian Calendar-- It didn't happen overnight but over a period of 90 years.

[xMoJox]

This just kinda shows how "RELIABLE" our media is doesn't it?

[defaultuser11434]

what country was columbus from?

[gladitsnotme]

omg katie couric blows even more now that i've seen this shit lmao

[abc123jg]

[abc123jg]

[nystinkyfairy]

[joemo75]

Someones been hitting the fire water a little to much...

[CandelarioGalvan]

joemo75

Anyone who thinks catalan is a real language has been hitting the crack pipe. They took Spanish and added a letter infront of every other word and a letter in the back of the other words.

catalans SUCK

[spepper]

no kidding... that has to be one of the DUMBEST statements ever! just shows how funny ignorance can be hahaha

[CandelarioGalvan]

To begin with Columbus was Spanish not Italian. Unfortunately a Catalan but nobody is perfect. These are Hispanic haters that are trying to spin a great accomplishment.

Being to stupid to realize that Columbus himself didn't commit any crimes however their own blood line is full of people that did commit crimes against the Indians.

[zlector]

he was born in Genoa

[CandelarioGalvan]

zlector

No he lived in Genoa but he was born in catalonia. Belive me I wish it were not true as I am half Andaluce I dispise the catalans.

[futbolxtreme]

CATALANS FOREVER FUCK SPAIN

[CandelarioGalvan]

futbolxtreme

catalans suck

Viva Espana

[CandelarioGalvan]

zlector

And Yes I didn't capitalize catalonia on purpose

[zlector]

thank you.

[northsyderyda]

where did you get this from

[selish88]

People who deny what has happen and say we just "think" our ancestors lives were ruined are all hypocrites. Thou shall not kill ( but it is ok to go onto a land not owned by CHRISTIANS and kill everyone there to gain the land)...there are sooo many other things that can be said. But why waste my time...no one will ever take into account the Native Americans history.

[wildheartmuse]

Not 'no one' there are many of us who know what the Christians have done to the indigenous peoples of the world. The spread of religion has meant the death of native culture everywhere. It is greedy and self centred.

[vigo894]

Those weren't true Christians. They are of

course, responsible for wiping out entire

civilizations. Like those on the first

island that Columbus discovered.

[selish88]

Some people are so uneducated. What happened to the Native Americans was genocide. They honor the Jews of course and when something is said about the Jews everyone thinks your are horrible. Yet it is always ok to say things about Native Americans.

[keetawah]

Actually Keetawah was my grandmothers name and she was full blood Comanche.My Paternal grandmother was Comanche my Paternal Grandfather was Comanche and Aztec.My maternal grandmother was Cherokee and my maternal grandfather was Comanche/Shoshoni

[keetawah]

I just watched this again, It makes me so mad at how blase' they are about his comments. Especially when Katie Couric makes her little statement off camera and that smart ass male reporter says "what the hell does he know" maybe if they had been listening and had not cut him off so quickly they would have come close to understanding. Kind of ironic that its been all over the news about Katie Couric dropping in the ratings game since she switched networks.

[chiefstands]

um..just curious being from tribes that actually accept indian ppl and not just anyone w/ a half drop..i know keetawah is cherokee and cherokees having a kind of traitor history...anyways r u just one of those palefaces that claim cherokee or r u an actual red ndn?

[RiverBirch1967]

They actually said that???

[iching64]

Yup.

A lot goes on that doesn't get broadcast - and most of it isn't pretty.

Google Video: "spin brian springer" and see the whole film.

They're not racist. They have equal contempt for everyone!

[RiverBirch1967]

Ok, I looked at that three times. That is the most rediculous (sp?) thing. Do they not realize the mic is on? Seems someone should be able to pull that up during nasty elections. Just think if this is a quarter of what they actually say. It's awful.

[keetawah]

Some things never change,He wasnt even given the time to educate anyone!!!Its almost like he was a time filler and they were extremely disrespectful
