What VD are you talking about?Columbus was lost. He though he found the back way to India. Hence "Indians"
Columbus' sailors were Basque. They brought VD to the new world. They got it from fucking dogs in the Azores.
Columbus never set foot on North America yet he "discovered" it.
Viking settlements in Nova Scotia from 1022 AD predates Columbus in 1492 by 470 years.
And don’t get me started on black history month…
They brought VD to the new world.
Fun fact-Christopher Columbus actually didn’t land on the land we now call the USA. He landed on San Salvador, South America, and Central America.
In every conflict throughout history a percentage of the soon to be conquered decide a life of treachery is better than a heroes death. This country is no better....you and I both have a neighbor that would sell you out for a bucket of extra crispy and a coke.All those natives that fought on the white mans side as scouts sure helped speed things up.
Selling someone out is one thing. Fighting and dying is another. Indian Scouts fought and died for the USA.In every conflict throughout history a percentage of the soon to be conquered decide a life of treachery is better than a heroes death.

Agreed....and glad they did. But the fact remains that they sold out their own kind for a better life (in their opinion anyway) with the winning team. Would those same men have been scouts if the wagon burners were whipping the settlers and driving them off the continent?? Probably not.Selling someone out is one thing. Fighting and dying is another. Indian Scouts fought and died for the USA.

Donald McKay. Dad was Thomas McKay. Mom was She-Who-Rides-Like-The-Wind, a Cayuse Indian. He and his Warms Springs Indian Scouts were responsible for the capture and defeat of Captain Jack in the Modoc war.
Things were a little more complicated than stereotypical "Cowoys and Indians". For example this gentleman, Pompey Factor Seminole Indian Scout. Descended from escaped slaves and intermarried with Seminole Indians.Anyone here read much on the motivation of these men (Warm Springs Indian Scouts)?
Maybe the Warm Springs were treated better than stereotypically. Maybe men behaved differently back then. Maybe there was more than just one mixed marraige, and the father's were able to fend off the ... drama.
To go from independent nation, to subjugated people, to national hero's in just one generation is incomprehensible to me.
And you things are complicated in Israel now.
There are winners and there are losers, if we don't get our shit together, we'll be losers!Probably one of the most accurate bits of film to come from Hollyweird in regards to the Indian situation in the old west. Every race since the begging of time has conquered and been conquered. The thought that there should be guilt and remorse because of it is ridiculous.
My father's heritage was english, irish, and scottish. My grandmother was of english descent. My mother's father was from Germany.Quit bitching.
You have Guinness.
And since when is “Ron” an Irish name?
Are you appropriating my culture?
P
SHHHHH don't say that out loud!!The irony that the indigenous peoples wared amongst themselves, stole land from each other and enslaved each other before the white man.
the head of a cow? always wondered how that didn't get dissed amongst his guys. these were not gentile people.I think pretty much everybody knows that.
My favorite was Cabeza De Vaca.
