Lestine Spencer, native americans are the real first americans. proud to be cherokee!

KiKē, There are surviving diaries from that first voyage which describe in detail the horror Columbus' and his sailors brought to the "New World". First hand accounts of the sailors throwing native infants off of cliffs to be smashed on the rocks below, so the babies wouldn't "disturb" the men while they raped their mothers. So HopsWildeBeest has made no accusations here that are not backed by cold hard facts.
Your allusion that Columbus brought anything but death, terror, and destruction to the civilizations of the Americas is nothing but revisionist history.

We, as humans all bleed red so skin color is truly superfluous, in the great scheme of things. ALL LIVES MATTER#

If history actually included all the facts , Christopher Columbus and crew wouldn't be celebrated as heroes but depraved criminals.

curiouspirit, Slavery definitely did not start in the Americas. Egyptian slavery is well documented as are other African countries taking their own worldwide to be sold and traded. Sadly, betrayal started at home for most of them.

I am amazed that even on a game you people have to spew your crap. this is supposed to be for fun...not a platform for your bias rhetoric. grow up and drop the hatred.
curiouspirit
Player #2232520, Really? What horific atrocity have you or most modern day people had to overcome that even closely compares to the hardships if slaves? Everyone born in America today stand on the backs of giants who bled to overcome these things and we whine and scream that we are victims but in reality we dont know true poverty or suffering or bondage.

MoonCastleCreations7, irish were also sold into slavery by the british. They were not treated as well since the British hated the irish and black slaves were considered more valuable. There were also black landowners during this period that also owned black slaves. slavery has existed throughout human history and still exists to this day.

NoWoreez, Also, the Jews
kronik
the Jews were expelled from Spain the same year, 1492. Why do the Jewish Zionists run the world? reparations?

NoWoreez, Chattel slavery was created in America. The slavery you speak of is not the same thing no matter how much you want it to be.
Cocoa
bladerunner505, Factz!!!

Imhvnfn, there is still definitely slavery in Africa and elsewhere but the majority being done in Africa is by other Africans.
nakahaki
sheri , idk about rightful owners what country in existence today wasn't fought over?
nakahaki
Mark, only because we got slaves from a continent of one race, however, it was very common to enslave on the basis of ethnicity or status u were born with or beliefs etc.
nakahaki

NoWoreez, some native tribes in what is now America raided other tribes stole their land killed the adult males and enslaved the young boys. this was hundreds of years before any white man ever stepped foot on this land
Lily
I remember learning this in third grade
Mark
NoWoreez, America may not have invented slavery, but we did invent race-based slavery. America was the first slave owning country to decide that if you were of a certain race, you were automatically a slave.
Mark
bladerunner505, We're getting there. Columbus Day is slowly being replaced by Indigenous People's Day.
Ewa
curiouspirit, Not true. Some Americans have no ties to the atrocities of the past.
Ewa
Columbus Day... AKA "Give a rapist a day to reflect".
sheri
Christopher Columbus was not was not the first ones to discover the Americans. and yes the native Americans are the rightful owners

FabulousFaith50000, The All Lives Matter movement is generally comprised of White Americans unwilling to acknowledge the Black Lives Matter movement for what it is. The fact is that Black lives are given less attention to and are shown very little importance when it comes to death in the public eye by law enforcement
