#1 Well, Columbus did burn down Detroit's neighborhoods and force businesses to close by robbing them.

#3 They are also removing the Christopher Columbus statue in California's Capitol Rotunda. Sad. I recently read a book about Columbus. The guy was a genius; an extreme geographer, navigator, explorer and sailor. I like to believe that his is the spirit that will one day take humans to colonize (ooops, there's that word) other planets and thereby enrich us all whether white, black, brown, red, yellow, grey or green. If the so-called indigenous people who characterize Columbus as a looter, slave trader and rapist had been capable, they would have done the same. Never forget that the Spaniards who colonized Mexico put an end to the warfare, conquest and human sacrifice that was practiced by the Aztecs.
