You can't erase history despite your ideas. Carry on with your life. Don't let Colombus get you down

Oh, I"m not suggesting we rewrite history, just for us to more closely examine which lens we're viewing history through when remembering it.

You feel this way even after watching the video…?

@@NettaSelene Hey, I am sorry for my last comment. I just got really amped up and was on a Christopher Columbus bender. Just woke up from a 12 hour nap, anyways I am sober now and rewatched the video. Like you said, as a little kid in school the story I learned was very different from the story you told. It’s to the point, that I don’t know what is real anymore… I was also a big fan of reading about John Smith growing up, but Disney ruined that one. I guess I like the explorer aspects of Columbus’ story and the never give up attitude that was told to me that he had. Anyways, I think it’s cool to learn about these things, and am cool with statues of him being taken down or put in historical context museums. Also cool with an Indigence People’s day existing. Just wish Columbus would be recognized for more then just an evil explorer… As all 16th century explorers were by modern standards evil. :(

Hi, I really appreciate this thoughtful response, thank you for following up. You're right that a lot of heroes in one era can become villains in the next, and I do think it's important for us to continue to learn the truth about our histories and adjust accordingly.
