At least I thought it was funny.  1974 “Indians” claim Italy by right of Discovery Italy what we think/ remember as the cradle of Western Civilization woke up in 1974 to realize that they had never been discovered. Seth you twat, haven't peopled been living in Italy for like thousands of years? Oh that is most assuredly right astute listener! But at 11 O’clock Sept 24 Chief of the American Indian Tribe of the Chippewas stepped off his plane in full garb and claimed possession of Italy “by right of Discovery” With no Ill will in mind, no harboring murderous thoughts the Chippewa chief was making a point. “What right had Columbus to Discover America when it was already inhabited for thousands of years? The same right that I have to come now to Italy and claim to have discovered your country” End quote- man this guy is smart, that is what we remember in our history books though… Columbus with his three ships set sail and discovered a place where people were living.  Sources for today's Podcast Columbus and Genocide The discoverer of the New World was responsible for the annihilation of the peaceful Arawak Indians By EDWARD T.

Either by omission or outright lies, we are subjected to as readers and students the opinions of the author/s on whatever subject we are reading. We are also subject to whatever biased knowledge they use as their base for study. A third Lens, as humans it is often difficult to picture viewpoints of those not immediately involved in an experience. We see two opposing views, we don't always see the future ramifications or the often confusing lead up to the altercation. Another thing we miss is how the actions of a few can affect the many.  Here, in studying Columbus how many of you have thought about Africans and the impact it had on their society and their future African American Ancestors. What do I mean, I want to let those thoughts settle on you for a bit as we get down to the History of Genocide, Lies, rape, and exploitation. For that, we need to take a step back into Columbus’ world in 1492 and continue on the path we started during the last episode. The “Discovery” by Chuckle-Headed Columbus. We kind of know the rest after that right? RIGHHHHT? But first a brief over view from the previous podcast On April 17, 1492, Ferdinand and Isabella, the Catholic monarchs of Castile, signed the Capitulations of Santa Fe, the agreement by which Christopher Columbus, one-time wool-weaving apprentice in Savona, Italy, undertook a voyage of discovery to the western Atlantic. Columbus was in his forty-first year. After forsaking his father’s loom in Savona he had spent some nine years in obscurity in Portugal, where his only known occupations were those of petty trader in sugar for an Italian commercial firm and maker and purveyor of maps and marine charts in collaboration with his younger brother Bartolomé. During this period he married a poor but aristocratic young Portuguese woman who bore him a son; he also supposedly made one or more sea voyages in an unidentified capacity.
