    Colombus was a slave trader among other ruthlessly "savage" things.

    Just because he was taught as a hero when you were young doesn't mean he should stay one.

    Dat's y the penis mightier.

    Istanbul not Constantinople. Istanbul not Constantinople. Even old New York was once new Amsterdam. Why they changed it I can’t say, maybe they just liked it better that way

    They should rename it after Sam Houston.

    https://www.shsu.edu/today@sam/samhouston/HouEman.html

    “Houston owned 12 slaves. Texas legend says that he freed them before he was legally required to do so. This position is backed by the recollection of one of the slaves who said that Sam read the Emancipation Proclamation to them from the steps of the house in which the Houstons lived at the time and told them they were free.”

    “Houston ruined his chances to be elected president of the United States with his principled vote against the Kansas-Nebraska Act, which permitted the westward spread of slavery and which Southerners favored. Even with that political liability, he was elected governor of Texas, but was forced from office for refusal to take an oath of allegiance to the Confederacy.”

    mentioning idle hands in a thread about columbus?

    guy fieri would never cut off natives hands...he would give them a bowling shirt with flames on it and feed them hot wings.

    7. Columbus returned to Spain in chains in 1500.
    Columbus’s governance of Hispaniola could be brutal and tyrannical. Native islanders who didn’t collect enough gold could have their hands cut off, and rebel Spanish colonists were executed at the gallows. Colonists complained to the monarchy about mismanagement, and a royal commissioner dispatched to Hispaniola arrested Columbus in August 1500 and brought him back to Spain in chains. Although Columbus was stripped of his governorship, King Ferdinand not only granted the explorer his freedom but subsidized a fourth voyage.

    In Human History, there has NEVER been any really good pious people.
    Can't have every town called Mother Teressa City

    If people really want a fool proof way of naming cities, give them numbers

    city 1234 , state 35

    that's where we are heading towards

    Cities have changed names throughout history, so I have no problem with this. It just exposes how slanted the version of American History taught in schools is.

    When did you buy this @tinman account because the real @tinman would never say such a thing.

    May I introduce you to Hakeem “The Dream” Olajuwon?

    Name cities after numbers.

    There's no way a number has ever committed any atrocities.

    If we name a city Clyde Drexler, USA

    Then Shannon Sharpes of the world would falsely accuse it of never being a champion

    Hakeem would never allow his likeness be turned into a statue, so Jazz fans will just have to mumble rap about Harden’s beard smelling like a Wendy’s baconator.
