Lol! Because apparently some folks like yourself have a hard time grasping the heading of the chapter in your textbooks titled "Columbus Discovers The New World" means he was the first to discover it from the Old World? I don't know... I have a hard time believing that your textbooks made no mention of Columbus encountering the NAs.
What a load of BS! So they never told you Columbus encountered Native Americans after discovering the New World? They just told you Columbus discovered the Americas and that's it?When you are a 6 year old you tend to be simple minded. Why would you say Columbus discovered america without qualifying it? I was never told Columbus discovered america for the old world. I was told and read that he flat out discovered it as if no one was there already. There is no reason to present it like that to young minds. Why not tell the truth? Lying by omission is still a lie.
Whats BS about it? Why are there efforts to even get the word "discovered" removed from the history books? You didnt answer my question. Why would you tell children that without specifying that he only discovered it for Europeans which is also a lie. Leif Ericson beat him over here as well. Like I said the white historians attempt to brainwash you has been a resounding success.
