Do you think that the supposed "discovery" of the New World should be celebrated or condemned because of the horrors unleashed upon the native inhabitants?

Don't and won't celebrate. Who's to say the native inhabitants would have been screwed over no matter what. For ppl that have no clue what the real story is behind good ol Columbus it's ok to celebrate but jsut read one good book about the truth and you'll never say his name again without your blood boiling over.

i don't believe of Christopher Columbus is fairly celebrated all that a lot through everybody - - I mean, there's a Columbus day, even with the undeniable fact that it really is fairly a lot only an afternoon for shops to have sales. some Italian communities "celebrate" it more desirable than others. i imagine some black and local american human beings will be slightly positioned off through the time period "stumbled on" united statesa., because you won't be able to fairly detect something at the same time as there are human beings already right here-- yet commonly, i don't believe of everybody has a large problem with Chris Columbus :-)

I was born on Columbus day... that's the ONLY reason I celebrate it... The Native Americans got robbed!!! Just try to go across the street and "discover" the many treasures in your neighbors yard/home and see if it isn't frowned upon... "Who controls the past now, controls the future... who controls the present now controls the past!!! " Too many tragedies to list but on a brighter note... a bud of mine (he's Cherokee) has a t-shirt with Sitting Bull on it aiming a rifle... The caption reads...

The Scandanavians were visiting Greenland and the Atlantic coast of Canada long before columbus got lost on his way to find the Orient.

if it wasn't Columbus, someone else would have got here and screwed the natives over...I have to say i'm ambivalent on the topic...but I like the question...will be checking back to see other answers...

I am embarrassed at how we treated native americans. It really makes me cry. We are so arrogant and greedy. All of that wasn't Chris' fault.

LOL actually he failed to what he was actually trying to achieve. And look at this luck his failure came to be his biggest success, so we can say that he was a blessed man. And why shouldn't we celebrate him.

well, if we never shoved the natives off our land, Mexico never would have been invented. That's where we sent all the indians. so now they're trying to come back...we better stop them. they're trying to reverse history and take back their land!
