How anybody can ignore the evil that was Columbus is beyond me. He encountered the taino people, a flourishing peaceful nation living in paradise. What was his first thought? Was it "I hope these people would allow me to live in such a great place with them, they've got a good thing going." No. It was "These people would be so easy to enslave and exploit. I'm gonna get right to it." Ugh.
