[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I celebrate both, you can acknowledge both.[/quote]

How?

You can celebrate Hitler and the Jews?[/quote]

Leave Hitler and Jews out of this. They are not comparable.[/quote]

NP. I don’t think comparing tragedies is a winning approach. That said, genocide is genocide. Crazy, evil men get government backing and lots of followers, then use the power they’ve accumulated to spread hatred and death and their actions nearly wipe out entire groups of people. Columbus was a bad guy. He condoned brutality I couldn’t even dream of. Let’s not diminish the atrocities he’s responsible for. [/quote]

What did Columbus do? I know he didn't actually "discover" America if that's the way you wan to see it, but what atrocities took place at that time, that Columbus condoned?[/quote]

Didn't just condone, directed.  Look up the Lucayan in the Bahamas.  They were inconvenient to him so he wiped them out.[/quote]

Why are Americans responsible for that? We're talking about America. He really didn't spend any time here. [/quote]

It's the guy you're trying to celebrate.  I don't care where he did it, he's awful and should be shamed not celebrated.[/quote]
