I've always known alot of Fox News reporters/writers to Be Biggots but this is just Crazy, This fag is saying we should americianize everything from our speech to our last names, if i remember right Christopher Columbus Founded the Country and he was Hispanic, so By americianizing i guess he means copy England some more?

Christopher Columbus was not an Italian, but a Catalan. He was born in Genoa, Italy, in 1451.Quote:

I used to live in a neighborhood called Bay Ridge, in Brooklyn, that had a lot of Scandanavian people. Around Columbus day, there were lapel buttons sold that said "Leif Landed First!". :dance:Quote:

Why does everyone always forget about the Native Americans?
Because the Natives were here too long to have discovered it. And anyway, white people like ourselves love to claim to be the first to discover places.
I heard somewhere that around 500 AD (500 years before the vikings), some Irish priest named Saint Brendan lead an expedition sailing around the atlantic looking for the garden of eve and saw America but was too afraid to land on shore so he turned back. funny shit.
Or the theory about Egyptians crossing the Atlantic Ocean in papyrus boats? Helps explain the similarities in Pyramids and Latin American Temples.
Yeah, that's why I typed discovered in parentheses.Quote:

The papyrus theory was cool, but on the History (or Discovery) channel they were saying that nothing ever crossed the Bering Straight, that early humans from a region just south of france built a boat and crossed the atlantic ocean. I haven't seen it in a while, maybe I'll search for a link somewhere.Quote:
