How much more bigoted can this man be? How IGNORANT of History can he be?

Unless one's people were from the original 500 Nations of Native Americans who settled these lands for thousands of years trekking over the Bering Strait from Mongolia and upper Asia to what is now North America, then we are all interlopers.

It was the white European explorers from Christopher Columbus in the latter 15th century that started the great exploration across the Atlantic Ocean to what is now the United States, parts of the Caribbean and Mexico, claiming unchartered lands for their respective countries. The rest they say, is indeed History.
