Here is my facebook message that I posted yesterday

If all Columbus wanted to do is find lands unknown to him, I wouldn't have much of a problem.
It's the following that's the problem
Columbus treated the natives brutally. Columbus demanded treasure, food and sex for his men, and when the Lucayans refused, he ordered their noses and ears cut off to serve as a warning.• Columbus treated his conquered people harshly. When the Lucayans rebelled, Columbus crushed the rebellion and carted off 500 Lucayans to be sold into slavery in Europe.
That article I posted can be found here http://news.yahoo.com/slavery--disease--death--the-dark-side-of-the-christopher-columbus-story-141953979.html?soc_src=mediacontentstory
And if that article isn't enough to outrage, look what I found in this following article
"Columbus Day? True Legacy: Cruelty and Slavery" by Eric Kesum
Shockingly, Columbus supervised the selling of native girls into sexual slavery. Young girls of the ages 9 to 10 were the most desired by his men. In 1500, Columbus casually wrote about it in his log. He said: "A hundred castellanoes are as easily obtained for a woman as for a farm, and it is very general and there are plenty of dealers who go about looking for girls; those from nine to ten are now in demand."
That's right : Christopher Columbus was a child molesting, sexual abusing pedophile!
Do any of you Conservative Correctness people still want to celebrate that guy's holiday?
Or is saying "hey, look at me everyone, I'm pissing off liberals by being politically incorrect" that important to you?
