I've been stubborn in that regard and now it's time to get rid of that belief. Thank you ladies. An excellent, eye opening (as someone said upthread) conversation.

 


 

            Just wanted to highlight your insightful, gracious, sentiment lest it be lost in the flurry of posts.   Your unassuming, candid self-reflection touched my heart.   I've been stubborn in that regard, too, as you say, and I need to work on myself and my preconceptions.   Thank you, @bathina.❤️

It isn't wisdom that's being imparted it's up to date , accurate history.   That does exist , you know. Just like sciene. Or maybe you don't.

@Bridgegal You are wasting your time with me. I have left this thread and have no desire to revisit it. Please do not notify me. Have a nice evening.

Wrong is still wrong just because you benefited from it.

The "research" didn't mention that Columbus never made it to the American continents?
