Christopher Columbus and Syphilis

Christopher Columbus and Syphilis:

Preface:
This blog is dedicated to my son Prince Erik Boyd II. I asked Erik what did, he learn in school today as I do everyday. But, today answer was very interesting. Erik went on to tell me about Christopher Columbus and how great a man he was, and how he discovered America. I let Erik finished talking then, I told him what a horrible person Christopher Columbus was and that he did not discover America, and you can not discover a land where people already live! Erik was very discouraged with our conversation, to the point Erik asked me a very good question, why would his teacher tell him something that was not true? I defended the teach by saying, maybe she did not know it was not the truth? I did that because I want Erik to be a good student in school and not become rebellious.

But, to people whom work in the education field you all are also promoting many lies that you know, are lies! Where is the integrity of your character as a person and educator, knowingly promoting lies to our children especially Black teachers of Black students? Those are my questions to you?

Syphilis:
The history of syphilis is known to have originated in Europe in the 1400s but by the 1600s syphilis was rampant all over Europe and the Middle-east. King and peasant alike died from the disease, this is well recorded and documented in European history!

One of the main cash crops in colonized America was sassafras, because this was a herb believed at the time to cure gonorrhea and syphilis, which was running rampant in all of Europe! Sassafras was very prized cash corp only second to tobacco!

Some, European historians say that the disease started in the New World the Americas? This is very false, another European propaganda promotion of another lie! If the Christopher Columbus had contracted the disease from Native Americas which he raped and had force sex with gave him syphilis, why did they die so soon after their encounters with Christopher Columbus and other European explores?

Yes, Europeans brung other disease to the New World from Europe such as smallpox {cowpox}, mumps, typhus, and measles! That bombarded the immune systems of Native Americas.

So this could have not been the case of Native Americas giving the disease or disease to Europeans, due to many Native America tribes and nations becoming extinct within a hundred {100} years of initial contact with Europeans such as the Tainos people of modern day Bahamas!

Christoper Columbus:
Scholars and historians do not agree with the origin of syphilis, but nearly every last one agrees that Christopher Columbus and his men are responsible for gonorrhea and syphilis becoming a global pandemic in the New World {Americas}, Europe and what is now known as the Middle- East!

Christopher Columbus died from complications from gonorrhea and syphilis! I think this was a befitting death for a man whom raped and tortured many, and causing the deaths of millions Native America and European alike!
