Nos EUA, hoje celebram o tal "Columbus Day" (o 12 de outubro, que em muitos lugares vem sendo ressignificado como "Indigenous Peoples Day") — criado, em grande parte, por causa do lobby dos chamados "Italian-Americans," e mantido porque casa bem com a idéia do "American exceptionalism." Por orgulho pátrio (por mais que Colombo nunca tenha pisado em território estadunidense), homenageiam um monstro genocida.

Nas aulas de história, fala-se muito em Colombo, mas poucos ouviram falar de suas primeiras vítimas, os Taíno, povo caribenho de origem Arawak. Hoje celebramos a memória deles e dos inúmeros povos massacrados pelo genocídio inaugurado por Colombo e seus "Reis Católicos".

A friendly reminder that Columbus didn't just kill my ancestors, the Taínos of Borinken, for defying orders, he raped us, grilled us, cut us into pieces like sheep, run us down with hunting dogs, burnt us alive 13 at a time. And he and his men called us the savages.

And yet our children aren't taught that in school.
