    Maybe we need a movie to show the real Columbus because schools like to indoctrinate children with “feel good” stories about that piece of shit.

      Or we just need to teach he was banned from Spain upon pain of death for enslaving the natives he converted to Christianity. Within the context of his time he was a bad guy.

        What about within the context of today? He’d probably be part of the US government I assume.

          Depends on the time period. He would be a hero for most of US history except 1950-2024.

            Nah, he’d be a hero throughout, just not to all mericans. Just look at confederate flags and whatnot

        It won’t happen. Christians will fight endlessly to protect the positive and completely false image of the man.

        It’ll be easier to make a single film which would be put on Christian ban lists which will make it much more widespread and popular than any historical movie.

          Christians aren’t fighting for this. Remember there are over a billion Christians who don’t care about him at all. It’s really weird that you are making that association.

            Catholics and the massive amount of weirdos that call correct history lessons “woke” mostly fall under the Christian umbrella. They all defend Columbus Day.

              Roman Catholics are over 1 BILLION people. I wouldn’t generalize their views like this. The majority likely dont care about Columbus.
