Jim Goad: “Indigenous Peoples Day exists (…) to honor those who were too technologically backward to defend their own land”

MUST READ —Jim Goad writes:

They will also fail to mention why Christopher Columbus sought funding to head west across the great blue ocean in search of Asia in the first place—because when Ottoman Turks seized Constantinople in 1453, the Great Silk Road and other land-based trade routes between Europe and Asia were cut off. It was these same Ottomans who would embark upon a centuries-long slave trade of European Christians. In other words, if Muslim imperialists hadn’t raped, pillaged, and killed their way into controlling much of Eastern Europe and enslaving untold numbers of white Christians, Christopher Columbus probably would have lived his days as a lowly Genoese cheese peddler. (…)

Remember—the mighty indigenous peoples of the Americas couldn’t even figure out the wheel. The WHEEL. The average lifespan for Native Americans before Columbus committed “genocide” against them was around 35. It is now more than double that. When Columbus arrived in the New World, the total number of indigenous Injuns in what is now North America was less than two million. There currently are 5.2 million self-identified “Native Americans” in the USA alone and another two million or so in Canada.

So they’re living more than twice as long and there are more than twice as many of them. That doesn’t sound like genocide to me. That sounds like an upgrade into the first-class section.
