She doesn't ever outright say it, but it's always in the subtext. She posted this on facebook today:

YouTube - Reconsider Columbus Day

After watching this, and realizing that yes, indeed, I don't know entirely too much about Columbus although I do know that most of the Spanish Conquistadors and adventurers slaughtered tons of natives, I thought I would give her the benefit of the doubt, so I went to the website:

Reconsider Columbus Day

That is one of the worst-made websites i've ever seen. If it doesn't scream "made by poor minorities", i don't know what does. Free hosting, banner ads, terrible design, the CSS is all fucked up (or non existent, i didn't even check the source), and there are no facts at all. There are a couple links to some shitty advocacy groups and a link to the video, that's about it. I posted this in reply to her video, should be interesting to see a response.

My favorite is the "consider a national indigenous holiday" line ... finally the Indians will have reason to celebrate (drink).

Blonde - make sure you mention that the first slaves taken from Africa were sold to white men by Africans.
