Do you think that it was unusual for conquerors to sexually abuse women? Do you think that is unusual, even today? It's not. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_during_the_occupation_of_Japan#U.S._military_rapes But I'm not going to go out of my way to criticize Columbus specifically for actions that male conquerors have been doing for all of history. I'm not condoning it, nor am I excusing it. But Columbus was a person of immense importance to human history, that is being attacked to satisfy an agenda. --- KhanofKhans, KhanJohnson, Saloonist, Basileos ... Copied to Clipboard! |
