Considering that Columbus was not the first to stumble upon the area he should go zero recognition as the discoverer, the only reason they set sail to India was to make money..Diversity came at the end of a whip mind you not an invitation to join the brotherhood of man and set at the table as equals....
Because is very important that in America today to ALWAYS say "Fock White People". Every white person held in any reverence (past and present) must be deconstructed. This is necessary to ease the moral qualms that people have when they begin the ethnic cleansing. This same type of rhetoric occurred in Rhodesia before the whites were ethnically cleansed and in South Africa before they began butchering white farmers. Diversity is our strength is code for "fock white people". Remember that at ALL times. Keep kicking that sand in our faces, perhaps we will keep letting you do it, who knows?
Because it has nothing to do with what you say. The article is about having found Neanderthal DNA in people, and your racist unsubstantiated and unrelated statement is that, because of that, there are "two species". I'm only referring to these racist comments. So they found neanderthal DNA in non-africans. That only means that Neanderthals didn't live in Africa. Period! The nonsense that because of that Africans are a "different species" is beyond belief. There are pieces of DNA that are exclusive to Asia and not to America. Or to Mexican natives and not to Japanese.... Using any of that to promote some sort of racist idea is beyond ludicrous.
He wasn't the first to come here, but he was the one who sold the idea to the Spanish nobility. Just discovering something doesn't mean **** if you don't bring it to market.
But in your "estimation" Trump would be a good choice for President. That right there says everything we need to know about the value of your "estimation"
So you believe that not celebrating Columbus Day, because he carried out worse massacres than Hitler, is an attack on white people...
If someone takes this land from us, do we then become the indigenous people? Are only the people we took this land from the indigenous people? Are the people they took the land from indigenous people? Are peoples indigenous only if their land is taken by white people? How long does a people have to be in a place for them to be considered indigenous?
Yeah, because that (my bold) isn't a 100% modern concept. What on earth do you think humans were doing prior to the 20thC? Traveling the world to dispense hugs? Such utter utter silliness.
It's not any of that. Don't imagine it's well considered and forward thinking long term planning. It's literally a bone lazy approach to 'equality', and nothing more. After all, it takes selfless hard work to raise people up, it takes nothing but a big mouth to drag people down. Such people are not at all invested in seeing people do better, if it inconveniences them in even the slightest way. None of it is real.
Technically, the Vikings led by Eric the Red were the first white people to set foot in the hemisphere when they settled in Greenland. So you disagree that the homogeneous peoples in the Americas needed diversity? Diversity now, in many aspects, has come in the form of a whip when you consider the institutional racism that affirmative action and other Fed.gov mandates force upon citizens. But we're told this is a good thing, right? And what's wrong with making money?
No Trump was a good choice for President and he is President. You can never accept that. He will continue to be President in spite of your desire. Whaaaaaaaa!
Why Indigeneous People Day? The Native Americans were in a near constant state of warfare with one another, many tribes became extinct and disappeared even before Columbus, as a result of tribal conflict. Basically as cultures of nomadic hunter gatherers they were in constant competition over hunting grounds, with the stronger tribes exercising their control over the more fertile areas. Not only did these tribes compete for food but also it became common practice to raid one another for women and slaves. Inbreeding in many tribes was a severe problem and child mortality rates were extremely high. The violent and long wars that the Mayans had fought contributed greatly to their decline, and the Aztec's had a violent history of near continuous warfare. Contrary to popular opinion the cultures/tribes of the Americas were extremely violent, full of warfare, strife and conflict. Modern archeology has dispelled much of these myths, about the american cultures and tribes. The few tribes/cultures that experimented with agriculture were forced to establish themselves in difficult, easy to defend areas, building their adobe dwellings in the sides of cliffs. Very few of these stationary tribes/cultures survived to meet the "European" having met their demise long ago. Hell, still today in my home state of Arizona violent and non violent conflicts occur between tribes all the time. If you go to northeast Arizona not only will you see the beauty of Canyon de Chelly but the killings between gangs from the Apache and Navajo nations. Then in metro Phoenix the Pima and Gila Indian tribes created hurdles and started lawsuits to try and stop the Tohono nation from building a new casino.
