Redpill me on Christopher Columbus. Is he as bad as they say he is? I've heard people claim he committed genocide, but I thought all he did was discover the New World.

stop using this word it makes you look like a newfag from /pol/, which you almost certainly are
Let me put Columbus into perspective, he was a man who lived during the time of the Spanish Inquisition and was arrested by Spain for cruelty, that's how fucked up he was. The precedent he set by exploiting (read mass enslavement, rape, and murder) the taino was actually far more important than his discovery of the Caribbean.

He was a Sephardic Jew. Keep that in mind next time (((someone))) claims he was white.
Daniel Allen
literally 0 evidence to support this, though some of his officers were indeed jews who had fled to portugal during the inquisition

No. Fuck off, cunt.

Columbus first encountered a tribe covered in scars who told him they had been kidnapped and attacked by other tribes. A ship was wrecked so he had to leave some crew behind with them. He then encountered another tribe who he got into a scuffle with and shot lots of arrows.
One his 2nd voyage he discovered the crew left behind had been killed and the first tribe had been dispersed. This was when the violence began.
