So Christopher Columbus was on the Mayflower, apparently?

The real problem with those messages is the suggestion that we’ve been celebrating Columbus day since his voyage (with the Pilgrims, as the Clog apparently believes).

Berkeley is an extremely target-rich environment… is shouldn’t be beyond the Clog’s abilities to come up with original commentary, rather than parroting someone else’s joke about some other place (without even noting that you’re doing so). I managed well enough with a staff of 1. I’d hate to have to make a comeback to show you whippersnappers how it’s done.

“Too bad Christoforo Columbo dropped in on North America 516 years ago, not 615.”

apparently the Nasfodr [ Stanford] admissions form is geared toward dyslexia driven adolescent post-teens, which explains their logic results of right equals wrong or the other way around.

Actually George Washington lived in a more diverse American colonial society than during the white migration era of 1870s- 1950s. Much of it due to these European tensions that led into 2 world wars ( i.e. migration). Some say even statistically the colonial period was a more diverse society in that time than today’s multiculturalism. Washington had free and paid black military men, who he called gifted on his front lines. It would be slave holders like Jefferson ( Democratic Party founder, so they DNC pretends) and the south which forced him to end this policy or he could not lead the colonial army to victory.Unfortunately Washington was only an observer of the Constitution, he wrote none of it. U may want to refrain your verbiage, so you reflect accurately the history.B. Las Cases, the Latin Church member who went with some of the conquistadors to the Mediterranean ( new World) actually started the ‘Black Legend, ‘ and his figures vary in the 100,000,000s –meaning he made them up and then the haters took his confused and failed statistics and unsubstantiated figures and placed their hate onto them for political expediency. Also many scholars believe Columbus was Castilian. So this means that Spanish are the bad people and not the Italians. Genoa probably forged Columbus’ history so they could get some of the new international trade action. If you actually read the history of Columbus, he was not searching to kill anyone. That came later with others as Las Cases details. So why not celebrate him? Every country and state in the history of the world had killed indigenous peoples to take their land. In this case, lets not celebrate anyone. And since Columbus is the bad guy, and anyone knowing this is living on murderous lands, they need to get out of this land. It is easy, get on a airplane, at a local but large airport and leave. It is that simple. You will probably end up landing in another country in which its founding members killed off the indigenous there too. Sad, yes.
