I thought you right wingers are always so fond of the "whole picture" so you have to see Columbus as whole. Including his atrocities and the bit of luck he had to re-discover america.

I think we should remember the atrocities but we should also acknowledge the accomplishments. As an example we celebrate Abraham Lincoln for holding the union together and the end of slavery while at the same time remembering that he was a racist for most of his life. We can celebrate Colombus for his discovery while still remembering the atrocities.
