Columbus was not a great man.  Research has shown us that.

He changed the course of human civilization like few others, leading a small fleet into the unknown without a map or modern navigational instruments, with bravery and determination. He was the catalyst that incorporated an entire hemisphere into the global system of migration and economics...

... but no he wasn't great because some jealous racist DEI professor at your college that turns on a GPS to go to the grocery store five blocks away told you focused on the bad things he did instead and he wasn't a very effective governor of the new territory.

That's quite the story.  It's not accurate about me but still, a well told story.

Judging a man who lived over 500 years ago, by today’s standards is truly ignorant.

He lived in the 1400s for God's sake. Things were just a little bit different. Get over it.

Columbus was a great man. Happy Columbus day.

You put it a little more succinctly than I did.
