    Via @prntgdcolonized ・・・ “TW: Colonization Via @prntgdcolonized ・・・ “TW: Colonization, sex trafficking/r*pe of minors, murder This is the history kids need to be taught. You can make this as age appropriate as you need and still keep it 💯. Most of us never heard these facts. And were never taught about Columbus' antiblack legacy that paved the way for the Transatlantic slave trade. Since schools won't teach this history, we have to! This is the history some people want to celebrate? Huite supremacy has y'all celebrating an enslaver, a sex trafficker, someone devoid of humanity and a conscience. "When Columbus arrived on the island he called Hispaniola (and which the natives called Ayiti, or Haiti), he was greeted by the very friendly and peaceful Taino tribe. In his own journal (which is where all the things I recount come from), after noting how peaceful they were, he remarked how easy they would therefore be to enslave. And that’s exactly what he started doing. He also noted how beautiful the Taino children were, and that there were a large number of them in the age range of 9 or 10 -the age, he pointed out, that some gentlemen in Spain like their women, because they can be trained easier. In fact, he noted the trade of young Taino girls as sex slaves among his own sailors. He ordered the Taino to produce a certain amount of gold for him every three months or, in lieu of gold, 25 pounds of spun cotton. If any Native did not have the required goods, they were to have their hands and feet cut off. And many suffered that fate. When the Taino tried to run away or rebel, Columbus ordered attack dogs set on them to tear them to pieces. The alternative was to stay and be worked to death. Within a generation, almost all the Taino were dead. So, Columbus literally initiated genocide, slavery, and underage sex trafficking." The Taino people still exist btw. They are the epitome of "They tried to bury us. They didn't know we were seeds." Teach your kids so when they go to school they can call out this harmful huite supremacy indoctrination.
