I don't know what you're talking about. Are you responding to the fact that the information presented in this thread is blocked from public discourse? It is. And you take part in that by critisizing the American Indian Movement for protesting Denver's Columbus celebrations.

As to responding to the charges of the original post, this is a discussion board.

Sure it is. And this discussion is about the attrocities of Christopher Columbus. If your response to a list of attrocities is to claim that it does no one any good to list his attrocities because he was somehow heroic for discovering America, my response is going to be that you're whitewashing history. And I would be entirely correct in the matter.
Maybe if the sum total information on Christopher Columbus was not massively weighted towards his greatness (do a Google search and see how difficult it is to find negative information on Columbus for all the positive information that comes up), there would be no need to protest a celebration or start a thread that only listed some of his attrocities. But that's not the world we live in.
