These revisionist assholes that try and change history to satisfy a personal agenda are really starting to get on my nerves folks!
This is the latest one:
"Gordon Campbell (born 1944) is a professor of Renaissance Studies at the University of Leicester known for his work on Milton and on the King James Bible."
Professor Campbell, for reasons known only to him, has written a new paper that claims the Vikings didn't discover America a thousand years ago....., but rather it was a group of Englishmen around the time of Columbas that made the first trek here! (By the way, Columbus didn't discover America either...., he discovered the Carribean islands!)
That's right kids, he wants his fellow Englishmen to get the credit for discovering America and it more than willing to discount Eric the Red and Leif Ericson and all those other jolly folks as really being the first Europeans to travel here!
They say history is written by the victors....., but this is just plain old fashioned cultural appropriation, first of the Indians, and then of the Vikings!
The way I see it anyway!
You only see history through the lens of an uneducated, outdated ethnocentric lens. Indians? Really?

ReplyDeleteYes, Indians..., they're stone aged tribes that have lived in North America for the past fifteen thousand years or so!
