Where is it written that Columbus couldn’t have done both good and bad things ?”

In the many many text books that say white people are responsible for every evil for all time.

If the beliefs about UFO’s that Snow on Pine has been presenting to us turn out to be true, then it is likely we will find ourselves in that very same position.

–R2L

That’s a reasonable idea, except if Snow on Pine is right, it’s already happened.

Assuming that is the case, for whatever reason(s) ET hasn’t just blundered into our world, conquered us, and destroyed human culture and self-confidence.

They are playing a different game.

According to Jacques Vallée, one of the brightest minds on the UFO circuit, UFO intelligences, whatever they are and wherever they are from, are manipulating human development in subtle ways.

And they’ve been doing it for thousands of years.

As I understand the situation right now, the “out of Africa” theory of global human expansion was pretty solid for a while, then became somewhat more questioned and questionable, but is now leaning back to being the prime view of researchers.
So, if that is true, then we are all African Americans, or African – X’s, or African Africans.

Columbus is like Jimi Hendrix. Lot’s of people can play your stuff or sail across quicker, but to be first.

The Cherokee took slaves with them on the Trail of Tears. And later fought for the Confederacy.

I will venture to guess that every single indigenous western hemisphere tribe, well before any Euros appeared on the scene, had warriors.

I’ve heard it argued that there were peaceful native American tribes, but from what I can tell those were tribes that were isolated and we just lack knowledge of their warfare.

Note that prior to the horse, the Comanche were a weak people hiding in the foothills from the Apache. Had they not adopted the horse they probably would have been recorded as a peaceful people hiding from more warlike neighbors.

Also note that the most successful native warrior tribes based their success on the Spanish import of horses.

Aren’t we taught that Asian peoples migrated to North America during the last Ice Age across the land bridge between present Siberia and Alaska? Doesn’t that mean that our “indigenous” peoples aren’t indigenous to North America?

I will venture to guess that every single indigenous western hemisphere tribe, well before any Euros appeared on the scene, had warriors.

Why would a tribe have warriors??

Either to protect themselves from other tribes bent on killing or kidnapping them, or to conquer / kill / other tribes.

Does anyone believe, as an example, that the Pueblo Indians lived in cliffs to enjoy the view.

And when Cortez conquered the Aztecs, the vast majority of his army were indigenous Indian tribes who relished the chance to seek revenge on the Aztecs.

The notion that indigenous tribes all lived in peace and harmony prior to the arrival of the Euros is just plain BS. Indigenous tribes were killing each other for thousands of years before any white guys showed up.

Not to say the Euros were totally innocent of atrocities.
