I decided to look up some info on our beloved Columbus "Discoverer of the new world" what I found was pretty disgusting. This guy should not be honored by any means. I took it upon myself to write this adaptation of the poem we teach our kids in school:
IN 1492
In fourteen hundred ninety-two
Columbus sailed the ocean blue.
He had three ships and left from Spain;
His only hope, to inflict pain.
He sailed by night; he sailed by day;
Nothing would stand in his way.
A compass also helped him know
How to find the way to go.
Ninety sailors were on board;
There was no trace of Christ the Lord
Then the workers went to sleep;
Soon they’d rape and make men weep
Day after day they looked for land;
To burn and pillage at their hand
At Hispaniola their dream came true,
It was time to unleash the devilish crew
"Indians! Indians!" Columbus cried;
His heart was filled with Genocide
But "India" the land was not;
and many indigenous were shot
The crew took note of the women there
They raped and killed while others stared
Slavery, Rape, Destructive Pride
The natives turned to mass suicide
The women killed their kids at birth
To save them from this hell on earth
Columbus was the man to see
If you wanted a woman for sex-slavery
In his letter to a friend
“Girls nine to ten are the current trend”
This history has not been told
It’s said he only traded gold…
...Spices and the natives crafts
Columbus day is full of Crap.

ReplyDeleteYou just sound like you are racist against italians!
It's quite a stretch to take what I wrote as "racist against Italians". I'm merely trying to dispel the common thought that Columbus was a righteous explorer, and expose him for what he was. Check out this link for more info on the subject and educate yourself.

But I do appreciate the comment mr. anonymous :-)
i'm of italian heritage and i'm not offended, in fact i'm proud of dave for his stance.
ReplyDeleteComplete horseshit and truly poor poetry. Sex slavery, genocide...you're the one who needs to learn some history. Now I know who Larry David appeals to when he urinates on Jesus--guys like "Big Daddy" ...errr "Short Dick" Dave.
