Do these people know what they are celebrating? While yes‚ he “discovered” the New World‚ however people fail to acknowledge that Columbus was in fact a mass murderer. In all likelihood‚ he brought to life “the worst case of genocide imposed on one nation of human beings by another”. Instantly you may have asked yourself why I placed quotation

It was a sunny day in Ardeche. The temperature was about 16 degrees celsius. Tuesday September 12th might seem like a lovely day to you‚ but if you knew what was going to happen later today that day‚ you would not exactly describe it as lovely.

At points I would laugh hysterically‚ while at other times I felt sorry for people‚ constantly my feelings
