Contemporary observers were talking about how much of a shithead he was. It's pretty safe to say he was a shithead.
The fact that people with an agenda managed to retroactively make him into a glorified hero centuries later says more about our current culture than it says about Columbus's contemporaries 500 years ago.
Nothing is quite so disgusting than realizing all the bullshit we were fed about him back when I was in school.
He didn’t discover it. There were clearly already white people there.

Happy birthday to the GROUND!
