Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, everyone, and welcome back to Talk Tuesday. On the Tuesday.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Today for Talk Tuesday, I actually have a very interesting
topic for you guys. We're gonna be talking about the
truth of Christopher Columbus. Columbus Day was yesterday, and I
feel like a lot of people don't really know the
truth about Christopher Columbus, and I feel like people really
need to know the truth about Christopher Columbus. So, as
promised in a previous live stream, I think today I
(00:27):
will be dragging Christopher Columbus. But before we get started
with that, I do have two super exciting announcements for
you guys. And if you don't follow me on Instagram,
if you're not following me, you should follow me.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
It's Ken ran Latte and I'm saying I'm saying it's
in the description box below, but I've announced it already
on there today. So I want to.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Tell you guys that this October for Halloween, I wanted
to do something special here on my channel.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
You guys request so many.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Different scary, spooky topics throughout the year, and so I've
saved all those requests, the most requested spooky topics, and
I'm putting them into an entire week of Halloween videos.
It's going to be called Freak Week because I know
you freaks are gonna love it. It's going to start
October twenty fourth on a Tuesday, and.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
It will go up until the thirtieth because.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
You know on Halloween, people on that day computers, they're
out treating and nonsense like that.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Get excited. That is coming up at The second announcement
I have is that my new website and new merch
has launched. Now.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
I did have a whole nother merch collection through Spreadshirt.
All of my wear Is campaigns are done through Represent,
which is a similar type of company, and after I
started doing those and getting those shirts back, I actually
really like the quality of the Represent stuff better and
it's actually more affordable and just a better process all around.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
So I have moved all of my March to there now.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
I did discontinue some designs, but I have a bunch
of new ones.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
You guys got to check it out. There's such cool designs.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
We've been working on this for like a couple months now,
and I'm so happy with how they've turned out. As
many of you guys know, the ad apocalypse has hit
me pretty hard considering I make videos about really non
advertiser friendly things, scary things, all kinds of things that
YouTube often comes back to me with this yellow button
and says this is not advertiser friendly. So I really
rely on external sources of revenue to keep my channel
(02:14):
going and my job going. So if you guys want
to check out my merch and pick something up, not
only do you get the sweet item, but you also
are supporting this channel directly, and I really appreciate it.
Check it out if you want too. It'll be a
link below to my website. My new website is amazing.
It's so cool. I absolutely love it.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
So it's now going to be.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
A home base for whereas campaigns, all my merch, all
my info, everything will be right there. So really cool stuff.
All right, thank you for listening to those announcements. Now
let's go ahead and roast Christopher Columbus.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Here we go.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
So, first of all, this is still a national holiday
in America Christopher Columbus Day, and I don't think many
understand Christopher Columbus was literally ruthless.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
He was worse than today's isis.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
He was that bad, and honestly, you'd have to be
a monster to want to celebrate this.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Guy and his day.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
And you know, if you didn't know this, it's okay.
We're taught in school. Christopher Columbus in fourteen ninety two
sailed the ocean blow all that bs, and so I
want to tell you about why this guy was such
a shit person and why we should no longer celebrate
his holiday.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
In this country.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
A lot of schools don't even celebrate it anymore. I know,
most people don't get the day off or anything. It's
not even a good holiday. And I'm pretty sure most
schools still have school. I know, I saw the miserable
neighbor next door walking to the bus yesterday morning.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
So here in America, we've.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Been celebrating Columbus ever since the eighteenth century because he
was the one who discovered America.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Brongo.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Christopher Columbus was an Italian explorer who was sent on
a mission to find gold, and he was actually trying
to get to the East Indies. And he actually never
even set foot in the upper forty eight states from America, Like,
he never even made it to Florida. The dude landed
in the Bahamas actually, and thought it was the East
Indies actually was Haiti.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
I think he specifically landed in.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Now, this guy was such a piece of shit that
there was a reward set by him for the first
person to discover land or sea land from the boat. Now,
another sailor was the first one to see the life
of the Bahamas. He was the first one to claim
this prize. However, Christopher Columbus a day later said, no,
actually I saw it last night. I saw a dim
(04:24):
light in the distance last night. So no money for you,
money for me. And that reward was ten thousand maravettis,
which is actually about like five hundred bucks today, which
may not seem like a lot, but back then that
was about a year's salary for a sailor.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
So he totally jipped that guy. But against much worse.
He thought he was.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Landing in the East Indies, and when he landed he
was greeted by tons of native people. Now the native
people that were living in America that Columbus would come
across over time, so he didn't meet all these tribes
at once, but the main ones were the Arlocks, the Lucaons,
and the Timos. Now, I hope I'm seeing that right.
I really struggle with words. So when he first got there,
(05:02):
the native people greeted him and they were actually super
super nice. They were not hostile. They were greeting them
as in like welcome to our land. They were sharing
everything they had. They were so kind. Columbus started calling
them the Indians because he thought he was in the
East Indies.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
He literally didn't know that the content of North America
was there.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
He thought he was going to go straight through all
the way to the East Indies, and clearly he didn't
go nearly as far as he thought.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Now clearly we know that since there.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Are people living there, he was not the person to
discover America. In fact, not even close. The Vikings had
been there about five hundred years earlier. Leef Erickson had
been there before and basically left because he realized it
was already inhabited.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Well, in reality, Columbus was really a thief of America.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
He took it from the people that lived there, and
it was brutal. In his diary he wrote that they
were handsome, smart and kind people. In fact, he specifically
said this. They offered to share with anyone. When when
you ask for something, they never say no. The Arawaks
didn't really have a lot of weapons. They didn't have prisoners,
they didn't have criminals. They were a very peaceful community.
(06:09):
Was all built around loving one another and sharing. Sounds
like we knew a little bit of that today. Can
you imagine if America just like stayed in their ownership,
but now Christopher Columbus had to come fuck it all up.
They were so kind hearted that when Christopher columbus ship,
the Santa Marina, started sinking, they labored for hours trying
to save his people and save the ship. They helped
(06:29):
save all their cargo and everything. And they were such
honest people that everything that they saved, brought out the
water and brought back to them was still there. And
Columbus wrote about this in his diary, how wonderful they were,
how nice they were. And you'd think that maybe he
was writing this to say, you know, how great, how wonderful,
these nice kind of people here to welcome us and
help us. No, he basically was writing all that in
(06:50):
his diary to show that they were.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Just idiots and his eyes, they were morons.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
This was gonna be an easy steal of this land,
that he would easily be able to take them out.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
They were so trusting and unfamiliar with war.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
He himself said that they were built well, with good
bodies and handsome features.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
They do not bear arms, and they do not know them.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
For I showed them a sword, and they took it
by the edge and cut themselves out of ignorance.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
They have no iron. And he was really on a
mission to find gold.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
But what he realized quickly is there wasn't as much
gold there as he thought there was, And so he
decided that he was going to change his mission up
a little bit. And his real reason for being there,
other than to get gold, which he did want to
do as well, was to bring home slaves, which he
said was worth.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Just as much as gold. Their spears are made of cain.
They would make fine servants.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
With fifty men, we could subjugate them all and make
them do whatever we want.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Here there are so many of these slaves.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Although they are living things, they are as good as gold.
And he was so impressed by how loving and kind
this community was that he immediately sees their land for
Spain and murdered, raped them, and stole everything that they had.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
He killed many of them any that were useless.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
He would save all the men and women that were
still able to work and put them as slaves in
gold mines. With them only two years of being there,
he killed off about half the population. About one hundred
and twenty five thousand people were dead in two years.
He said that the way that they were so full
of love and not greed made them easier to enslave.
There were so many rapes of women it's unbelievable, including
(08:21):
little girls. In fact, girls from around ten to twelve
years old were perfect for him. He would enslave them
as sex slaves. He would even reward his men for
good work by giving him a woman to rape. In
his journals, he would talk about how he would break
women down by raping them over and over and over
again until they were basically willing to do whatever he
wanted them to do, or they just killed themselves.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
He also robbed everything that they have. Eventually he started.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
This whole tribute system where he would have natives that
were fourteen years or older start working in gold mines
right away and they would have to fill a hawkspell
with gold, and if they didn't every three months do this,
he would.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Cut their hands off. That's isis level stuff. Not only
that he.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Would hang their hands around their necks and most of
the time they just bled out immediately, and if you
did get enough gold, you were saved for three months
and could continue working until the next you know, hand.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Chop off ceremony.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
There was a man named Bartoleme de las Casas. I
hope I'm saying that right, but he was one of
Columbus's men. He eventually, like had to come to Jesus moment,
literally became a Catholic priest and really really talked about
how just how brutal everything was, and he said that
this tribute system for gold was absolutely intolerable and impossible.
Eventually started the trans atlantic slave trade, where he would
(09:37):
take the best fit natives and ship them back to.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Spain on boats. Most of the people died on the
boats on.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
The way there due to the terrible conditions he put
them in, and the rest of the people there that
weren't of use to him he basically murdered for fun.
There was tons of bizarre things that they did to
these people, one of them being they would test their
swords by cutting people in half to test the sharpness
of them. He would behead them, torture them. It was
(10:04):
absolutely brutal. He would even kill people by putting them
into boiling bats of soap. From some of the journal
entries of the men, we know that they would take
newborn babies right off the breast of a woman and
smash their heads against a rock, kill them and feed
them to their dogs. In fact, many people were used
as dog food. Not to mention that he also started
a global child sex slavery ring that is probably still
(10:27):
lingering on today. As we all know, it's still alive
and well sex trafficking, but he would sell children off
around the world.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Eventually he went back and came back to the New World.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
He brought cannons and attack dogs and would let these
dogs hunt people down.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Anyone who's trying to escape slavery or leave.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
He would literally let these dogs rip their bodies apart
while they screened. If any of the natives resisted slavery,
he would cut off their nose or an ear or
some other body part do something ridiculous to them. So
many of them, who just didn't want to be slaves,
didn't want to go live this terrible life, resorted to suicide.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Tons of them.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
There were suicide packs, There were mass suicides, taking poisons,
all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Women would literally kill their.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Newborn babies with their bare hands to save them from
having to live this miserable life, or you know, something
worse happening to them, getting shood by a dog or
something crazy. So they would literally kill their babies and
then normally kill themselves.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
He brought disease with him that killed a lot of
the natives.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
There is a rumor that, if you've ever heard this,
if not true, I want to put it out there,
that he like covered blankets in small pots and opened
a bedding store and like made everyone sick.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
That has been debunked. That was not a real thing,
just so you know, but he might as well have
done that, because everything else that he did was so
much worse.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Artolda may de la Cassas, the one who became a priest,
actually said this about one of the days there the
Spanish soldiers dismembered, beheaded, or raped three thousand native people.
Such inhumanities and barbarisms were committed, in my sight as
no age can parallel. My eyes have seen these so
foreign to human nature that I now tremble as i'm write.
(12:04):
Experts think that around three million people were living on
the islands when they first arrived, and twenty years after
Columbus first arrived, there were only sixty thousand left. Let
that sink in three million, two sixty thousand. Within fifty
years of his arrival, not a single original Native person
was left on the island, not a single one. The
(12:25):
entire population has been wiped out. There's not a single
person who has full blood of the native tribes that.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
He came across.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Eventually, Christopher Columbus was actually arrested for his behavior and
taken back to Spain in shackles. He was actually pardoned
for his crimes. But you know, he lived the rest
of his life out there. So this guy, apparently a
hero who discovered America. Literally the end of his life
ended in an arrest, and he was responsible for the murders, rapes,
and suicides of millions of people. And if you didn't
(12:55):
know this stuff, you must be asking yourself, why the
fuck do we still celebrate this guy.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
It's okay, we didn't know it now, you know, you know,
I mean a lot of people.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Don't know this stuff because we get a bullshit version
of everything in school. Now, personally, I think this should
remain a holiday, but it should be a holiday to
respect and celebrate the native people of this land. Hawaii
has already renamed it Discovered Day. South Dakota calls it
Native American Day, but it is still celebrated in many places.
There are still, you know, lesson plans involving Christopher Columbus,
(13:24):
and this kind of education still goes on about this
horrible man. There's a huge mural in Congress still hanging
there to this Day of Christopher Columbus. If you agree
and you do not think Christopher Columbus should be celebrated
in this country, I'm going to leave some links to
petitions below, because come on, you guys, who the fuck
thinks we should celebrate Columbus Day?
Speaker 1 (13:42):
If you really think that after hearing.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
All of this stuff that I just told you, that
is absolutely fact, something's wrong with.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Yeah, just gotta say it, but that is the truth
about Christopher Columbus.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
He also, to be honest with, he was not very smart,
did not really know his shit when it came to
any of this stuff.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
I don't even know how he ended up being a
leader of this fucking shit.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
But yes, Chris Womas has now been dragged, so leave
me comment, tell me what you think, let me know
if you knew this before or not, and they give
a big thumbs up if you want to see more
videos like this about historical events and the.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Truth about them. All right, guys, I hope you're having
a great day and I'll see you next time.
Hello, everyone, and welcome back to Talk Tuesday. On the Tuesday.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Today for Talk Tuesday, I actually have a very interesting
topic for you guys. We're gonna be talking about the
truth of Christopher Columbus. Columbus Day was yesterday, and I
feel like a lot of people don't really know the
truth about Christopher Columbus, and I feel like people really
need to know the truth about Christopher Columbus. So, as

Speaker 2 (07:37):
With fifty men, we could subjugate them all and make
them do whatever we want.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Here there are so many of these slaves.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Although they are living things, they are as good as gold.
And he was so impressed by how loving and kind
this community was that he immediately sees their land for
Spain and murdered, raped them, and stole everything that they had.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
He killed many of them any that were useless.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
He would save all the men and women that were
still able to work and put them as slaves in
gold mines. With them only two years of being there,
he killed off about half the population. About one hundred
and twenty five thousand people were dead in two years.
He said that the way that they were so full
of love and not greed made them easier to enslave.
There were so many rapes of women it's unbelievable, including
(08:21):
little girls. In fact, girls from around ten to twelve
years old were perfect for him. He would enslave them
as sex slaves. He would even reward his men for
good work by giving him a woman to rape. In
his journals, he would talk about how he would break
women down by raping them over and over and over
again until they were basically willing to do whatever he
wanted them to do, or they just killed themselves.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
He also robbed everything that they have. Eventually he started.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
This whole tribute system where he would have natives that
were fourteen years or older start working in gold mines
right away and they would have to fill a hawkspell
with gold, and if they didn't every three months do this,
he would.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Cut their hands off. That's isis level stuff. Not only
that he.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Would hang their hands around their necks and most of
the time they just bled out immediately, and if you
did get enough gold, you were saved for three months
and could continue working until the next you know, hand.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Chop off ceremony.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
There was a man named Bartoleme de las Casas. I
hope I'm saying that right, but he was one of
Columbus's men. He eventually, like had to come to Jesus moment,
literally became a Catholic priest and really really talked about
how just how brutal everything was, and he said that
this tribute system for gold was absolutely intolerable and impossible.
Eventually started the trans atlantic slave trade, where he would
(09:37):
take the best fit natives and ship them back to.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Spain on boats. Most of the people died on the
boats on.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
The way there due to the terrible conditions he put
them in, and the rest of the people there that
weren't of use to him he basically murdered for fun.
There was tons of bizarre things that they did to
these people, one of them being they would test their
swords by cutting people in half to test the sharpness
of them. He would behead them, torture them. It was
(10:04):
absolutely brutal. He would even kill people by putting them
into boiling bats of soap. From some of the journal
entries of the men, we know that they would take
newborn babies right off the breast of a woman and
smash their heads against a rock, kill them and feed
them to their dogs. In fact, many people were used
as dog food. Not to mention that he also started
a global child sex slavery ring that is probably still
(10:27):
lingering on today. As we all know, it's still alive
and well sex trafficking, but he would sell children off
around the world.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Eventually he went back and came back to the New World.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
He brought cannons and attack dogs and would let these
dogs hunt people down.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Anyone who's trying to escape slavery or leave.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
He would literally let these dogs rip their bodies apart
while they screened. If any of the natives resisted slavery,
he would cut off their nose or an ear or
some other body part do something ridiculous to them. So
many of them, who just didn't want to be slaves,
didn't want to go live this terrible life, resorted to suicide.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Tons of them.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
There were suicide packs, There were mass suicides, taking poisons,
all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Women would literally kill their.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Newborn babies with their bare hands to save them from
having to live this miserable life, or you know, something
worse happening to them, getting shood by a dog or
something crazy. So they would literally kill their babies and
then normally kill themselves.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
He brought disease with him that killed a lot of
the natives.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
There is a rumor that, if you've ever heard this,
if not true, I want to put it out there,
that he like covered blankets in small pots and opened
a bedding store and like made everyone sick.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
That has been debunked. That was not a real thing,
just so you know, but he might as well have
done that, because everything else that he did was so
much worse.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Artolda may de la Cassas, the one who became a priest,
actually said this about one of the days there the
Spanish soldiers dismembered, beheaded, or raped three thousand native people.
Such inhumanities and barbarisms were committed, in my sight as
no age can parallel. My eyes have seen these so
foreign to human nature that I now tremble as i'm write.
(12:04):
Experts think that around three million people were living on
the islands when they first arrived, and twenty years after
Columbus first arrived, there were only sixty thousand left. Let
that sink in three million, two sixty thousand. Within fifty
years of his arrival, not a single original Native person
was left on the island, not a single one. The
(12:25):
entire population has been wiped out. There's not a single
person who has full blood of the native tribes that.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
He came across.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Eventually, Christopher Columbus was actually arrested for his behavior and
taken back to Spain in shackles. He was actually pardoned
for his crimes. But you know, he lived the rest
of his life out there. So this guy, apparently a
hero who discovered America. Literally the end of his life
ended in an arrest, and he was responsible for the murders, rapes,
and suicides of millions of people. And if you didn't
(12:55):
know this stuff, you must be asking yourself, why the
fuck do we still celebrate this guy.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
It's okay, we didn't know it now, you know, you know,
I mean a lot of people.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Don't know this stuff because we get a bullshit version
of everything in school. Now, personally, I think this should
remain a holiday, but it should be a holiday to
respect and celebrate the native people of this land. Hawaii
has already renamed it Discovered Day. South Dakota calls it
Native American Day, but it is still celebrated in many places.
There are still, you know, lesson plans involving Christopher Columbus,
(13:24):
and this kind of education still goes on about this
horrible man. There's a huge mural in Congress still hanging
there to this Day of Christopher Columbus. If you agree
and you do not think Christopher Columbus should be celebrated
in this country, I'm going to leave some links to
petitions below, because come on, you guys, who the fuck
thinks we should celebrate Columbus Day?
Speaker 1 (13:42):
If you really think that after hearing.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
All of this stuff that I just told you, that
is absolutely fact, something's wrong with.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Yeah, just gotta say it, but that is the truth
about Christopher Columbus.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
He also, to be honest with, he was not very smart,
did not really know his shit when it came to
any of this stuff.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
I don't even know how he ended up being a
leader of this fucking shit.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
But yes, Chris Womas has now been dragged, so leave
me comment, tell me what you think, let me know
if you knew this before or not, and they give
a big thumbs up if you want to see more
videos like this about historical events and the.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Truth about them. All right, guys, I hope you're having
a great day and I'll see you next time.
