Vox you good love ❤️

I mean you incorrectly say that women make less then men all the time and you never correct those errors

Vox going thorough comment section finally

even correcting that error.. the fact that columbus never set foot in the US is irrelevant, especially because you criticized the video in which they just said "America" which include north, central and south america... so ya he might hqve never set food in the US but he did discover the continent where the US is....

@@ie.sportsnetwork9879 what?

but america wasn’t.... nvm

That's part of human nature. Western culture is not morally worse than others.

I think you struck a nerve there sir... 🤔👍✌️

He also has the more American sounding name.

@@lllool8404 "Part of human nature" So is rape...should we celebrate rape and rapest then? Putting rapists in highest offices and.... nvm

Sam Bunny clearly the Founding Fathers hadn’t either. “Map says America so we shall call this land America”

Sam Weber - there's a chain of mountains in Nicaragua, North America, called "Americ"or "Amaruc" by the natives. Vespuccio first name was "Alberico" and not "Americo" some how, Waldseemuller, who never saw the new world, named the map, America. You might be interested to know that the Native Indian of South America, called their land Amaruka. Maybe that's where the European Spanish got the name for the new world. I am still researching.

yes he came later !

@@fernandgutez2383 it's widely accepted that waldseemuller named the continent after Americo fue to his prestige and the fact that he was the first to recognised the new world wasn't Asia. There are múltiple theories but It seems the most correct, as the history fits and at the time no one even cares what the natives called their land. In the Royal spanish academy the ethimology IS the one i've told you. It could be otherwise, yes, we don't know where many words come from, but the general consensus IS that It was named after Vespucio. By the way, Sometimes we don't use first names, It could be that everyone called him Americco....It happens a lot, when the name IS common.

How come he doesn't have a holiday? He deserves one more than Columbus.

bdidbw ok, but get those absurd racist statutes outta here. remember whom ever you like, just don't ask me to believe the same as you.

Yes he was so much against slavery that he pretty much conviced spain to start the trans atlantic slave trade eh

"I soon repented and judged myself guilty of ignorance. I came to realize that black slavery was as unjust as Indian slavery... and I was not sure that my ignorance and good faith would secure me in the eyes of God." Yes he did suggest that the lost labor could be made up for with African slaves, but what you should also realize is that he came to regret this and is actually a complex figure himself. Sure you should criticize him for this, but no figure is historically good, because they are people. Also I'm not sure, but I actually do work on a similar subject with John Locke. Based on his reason for why people should be enslaved (which was basically the same reason Locke gave), was because of Just War. Now this sounds really shitty and of course is terrible today, but you have to consider this in light of the politics of the day. Slavery justified in this way (in Locke's argument, not sure about De La Casas, but on first glance seems similar) is non-hereditary. This is a major difference. The war also has to be justified, you can't be the aggressor. Ie you can't go in and just conquer some place for no reason, and you can't hold the people who you beat's children. The idea being that instead of killing the person, you hold them in bondage for the rest of their life. If this idea was accepted this would have basically crippled slavery. Oh and vastly important aside. For the same reason this is why Locke argued slavery should also be allowed for people facing capital crimes. This is why slavery is actually still legal in the United States under one circumstance, read the 13th Amendment carefully.

I'm not very knowledgeable about Spain at this time, but I think you are partially correct, he was probably more protected because of his position. However he was going against what others in the Catholic Church were saying, he could have easily been kicked out. In fact at one point he was accused of treason and sent before the inquisition, although they didn't kill him. He instructed the work I quoted from above to not be published for 40 years (ie well after his death) probably because he knew he would get in trouble, and then the work was actually not even published until over 300 years later.

Crazy how he saw them first hand doing awful things and decided to write down what went down. He help start the black legacy for the Spanish. Making Europe know that Spain is doing cruel things.

I think the issue is largely out of laziness. Its really easy to just see things are sort of sweeping inevitability, or in broad narratives. I'm about to start applying to history phd programs, and people often laugh or ask why I would do such a crazy thing. Well I love it, I think its important to know things, and I think its important to help provide today with lessons from history. Also when politics inevitably collides with history, someone has to set the record straight. I can't read Spanish though, so unfortunately I can't work on De Las Casas. I'm working on 19th century US cities, mobs, and nativism.

I’ve never seen a columbus day parade wtf. It’s more of a remembrance holiday.

It is celebrated when banks and holidays and government buildings close. Think beyond your sole personal experience, 49 year old US citizen. Society operates beyond your individual perspective and it operates through silent oppression.

yea at my school we go on Columbus Day

@Devils Right Hand If you honestly believe that nobody is oppressed in America, then you need to pay attention to what's happening in our country a bit more. Second of all, you use the argument that "our poor are fat" without logic. Poorer people have a higher obesity rate due to the fact of their lower income or no income making them unable to buy fresh, healthy food. What they can buy is what's cheap and easy to get which here in our country mainly means a dollar meal from any chain fast food restaurant.

Never mind the fact that Ligurians were and are a completely different group of people from Sicilians, Neapolitans, Pugliese, etc and that the two people groups didn't even share a common language until the 1950s, and still don't share DNA or really a common culture, only a political designation.

Ben Roley this, did Vox really not expect people to see the publish year of 1552 on the cover?! I’d don’t think the friar was directly talking about Columbus, seems like spin to me.

Vox chose to lie about Columbus for idelogical reasons

Let em fly Hunting I’m sorry I will correct it in my original comment. I never said that Columbus did anything wrong, and I certainly didn’t mean to insinuate that he’s a good person. But his also not the absolute villain his present day opponents make him out to be. What I’m saying is that this video is spreading misinformation by attributing things that objectively much worse people than Columbus who came after did to him, that is to say, blaming him for things he simply didn’t do. I recommend you watch a video called “In Defense of Columbus” by a channel called Knowing better

Shut up Indian.

Let em fly Hunting Are you really going to get triggered by the word Indian? It’s not even used as a slur, but as a referring term like “natives”. Also, to the OP - you are so right. People associate Columbus with the murder of millions of people for some reason. He’s not Andrew Jackson. He’s just the explorer who found new land. He did do bad things, like exploit the natives for resources, but it’s not like he took an axe to each of them.

The Native Americans weren't savages, they have fairly complex civilizations and systems of government. They were not a monolith, there was a large amount of diversity across North and South America but a large majority of both continents were completely and utterly devastated by plague. Some of these tribes that survived had government systems were even looked at favorably by the new United States and used in the formation of its government. Describing ancient civilizations as savage is simply contrasting them to western civilization and "western values." In terms of brutality, I cannot call Native tribes savages based on that factor due to the brutal nature of just about every major nation in history. By that metric, humanity in itself is in some ways a savage beasts of animals, and perhaps that is true in many ways.

The Vikings did not know that America was the continent that the Spanish discovered it to be.

Either way, Europeans got there, and the Spanish were the ones who got the lion's share and the greatest imprint. :-)

As a Sicilian American, you are correct. Columbus does not represent us at all.

yes he didn't "discover" the America's, but he did connect the America's to the old world, and that is even more important then the discovery.

He discovered all the people were.......DARK you white boys will never admit it....they didn't like their own pale skin..lol

Alex1986Sevilla if a Japanese man did set foot on Europe as a completely new place that was unknown to almost anyone in Asia and Asia would rise and dominate this new land then yes he would have discovered France for the Asian world.
