https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_trophy_taking_in_Mesoamerica
Most of the ancient civilizations of Mesoamerica such as the Olmec, Maya, Mixtec, Zapotec and Aztec cultures practiced some kind of taking of human trophies during warfare. Captives taken during war would often be taken to their captors' city-states where they would be ritually tortured and sacrificed. These practices are documented by a rich material of iconographic and archaeological evidence from across Mesoamerica.

Wow. You showed them.

If Columbus hadn't cut ears off of slaves he found disobedient, they surely would have cut his ears off.

What are you getting at? No one, including me, has called Christopher Columbus a saint.

You people need to take a chill pill. You might be shocked to learn how many older Americans find Christopher Columbus Day simply a day to celebrate Europeans discovering America...and that's it.

Now it's politically and emotionally charged to the 9s. You all can fume about it. Or live your lives.

Man, way too many people taking TC's gimmick as 'Serious Business!' If this gets to 500, CE should be ashamed.

TC has basically been irrelevant. All the posts are because a different guy has been trolling his ass off throughout the entire topic.

Columbus Day did not exist until 1971. It's essentially the Catholic-American analog of Confederate statues.

That is true, although Im not sure referencing how relatively recent it was enacted should be a point of consideration. The US is a young country, when compared to almost all others. All celebrations, especially those recognized since 1776, would be recent.

Anyway, at this point, I think only Mr. Rogers should be celebrated, but Im sure critics would consider him a problem for having been white, male, straight and religious.

Yes, and that expands on my point.

I find it very difficult to suggest any person or persons, living or dead, who will not have others hating them for something. Given enough time, it seems inevitable. My suggestion is stop celebrating Columbus and stop celebrating all these other people too, so its not about substituting one person(s) for another.
