<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheMont, post: 2444451, member: 80121&quot;]I guess I should have been more specific, I was born and raised on the East Coast and am a first generation American, both my parents were born in Italy. So that little part about Columbus Day really hurt. On the East Coast they have parades and honor Columbus with a holiday (both the State of New Mexico and the United States recognize Columbus Day). I just felt the irony in calling him a racist, bigoted slave trader was ironic in that he never landed in the mainland, he landed in Bermuda. He was also financed buy the Spanish King and Queen, with three Spanish Ships and Spanish crews. I apologize for bringing politics into a coin forum, but it just seemed to evolve that way with the additional posts.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
