No, Mr. O'Hare is right, based on objective analysis. We looked as good to the natives here as today's illegal (and legals) look to us, i.e. as Frankenstein & Co.
Tell me why we are celebrating a holiday over Columbus. He was a slave trader and carried out genocide against the Arawaks. Christ on a crutch, does this country ever get it? Not even self respecting Italians celebrate Columbus. Bernie Berg
At least the natives in the Caribbean had the good sense to cannibalize the Italian sailor Verrazano, who, sailing for the Spanish Crown, was the first European to meet & describe "our" Indians, the Lenape (AKA Lenni Lenape or Delaware), when he met their kinsmen in what is today New York Bay. Too bad the Native Americans who met Columbus didn't have a similar appetite...what a funny twist in "Manifest Destiny" that would have been, eh?
