The Left just lost a truly great voice. RIP Professor.

Zinn made America a better place through his scholarship and his activism. He will be greatly missed.

@Connerisawesome,

In the report that informed the FDA about the lack of benefits and many dangers of using cyanide based Laetrile as an anticancer agent, there were several inconsequential mistakes. I wouldn't base my opinion of the report on a few mistakes and say cyanide can cure cancer though.

Zinn's promotion of the IWW, a terrorist organization at one time, leaves little doubt that he was a Communist.

@CWSmith1982,

What? Zinn hasn't gone down in history as a Communist distorted historian yet and it's been ten months. History has yet to propagate the truth about Zinn and the crimes of Communism in general.

Also, why would you celebrate the fact that Zinn was able to deceive every major university in the country with his "People's History" as the US moved more and more towards Communism unwittingly? You're celebrating the fact that you're not doing a good enough job.

@mrtundra45,

The vast majority of the genocide by the English was unintentional. The "black legend" was mainly Spanish. They didn't know much about smallpox and many such as David Brainerd died of disease while trying to help indigenous peoples . Many indigenous tribes were at war with each other before the colonists arrived and the colonists picked sides in their wars for land.

Oddly enough, Zinn actually sides with the poor whites trying to take tribal lands in Bacon's Rebellion.

Christianity, or religion in general (Islam, Judiasm)... has always been used in the name of conquest, as in the name of religion (GOD) ... and its not right.

Colombus didnt butcher "the" native americans.. he killed quite a few.. "the" implies he killed them all off it was actually the ENGLISH and the other '"colonists''' who did most of the genocide. Colombus didnt regaurd them as "savages" he actually wrote that they (native dominicans) were "noble and beautifull people" with "high morality and principles"... he noted that many tribes had well functioning societes just as europe did.. BUT, he was a "christian"..so non-christians didnt appeal to him

howard zinn wrote a masterpiece. "the peoples history of the united states: 1492 to present." "what we need more in this world is people like howard zinn". that torch has been passed on, go tyt!

By the way, just to show you the credibility of that file, they claimed to have interviewed a Doris Zinn who was supposedly Howard's sister. The only problem was Howard Zinn never had a sister.

[Connerisawesome]

You do realize that that file was written during the years of the Red Scare where you couldn't sneeze one way without being called a communist right? He wasn't a communist let alone a card carrying one.
