Columbus day huh??

Christopher Columbus

Ndio. Ni siku ya mapumziko nchini Marekani (na baadhi ya nchi nyingine ulimwenguni) wakisherehekea siku hiyo waiitayo Columbus Day inayokumbuka kuwasili kwa Christopher Columbus katika Americas mnamo Okt 12 1492.
Wana-Historia wanatambu ni nini kilifuata baada ya kugundulika kwa New World na matokeo yake kwa ulimwengu ni yapi. Na naamini madhara yake yakingalipo mpaka leo katika baadhi ya sehemu kama Afrika.
Ni nini hasa cha kusherehekea katika siku kama hii? Siku ambayo bado kuna upinzani wa umuhimu wa kuisherehekea kutokana na mateso waliyopata wazawa na watumwa ambayo kwa namna moja ama nyingine yalitokana na ujio wa huyo mheshimiwa? Soma HAPA uone mwenyewe.
Kwa msherehekeao, basi sherehe njema na wengine, siku kama kawaida.
Msikilize Burning Spear akimnanga Christopher Columbus hapa chini

I an' I all I know
I an' I all I say

Cristopher Columbus is a damn blasted liar
Cristopher Columbus is a damn blasted liar, yes Jah

He say 'im that he's the first one
Who discover Jamaica, I an' I say that:
What about the Awarak indians ?
And the few black man who were down here before him ?
The indians could'n hang on a long long
Here comes black man an'oman an' children

Whole heap a mix up, mix up
Whole heap a ben up, ben up
Ha fi straighten out

Cristopher Columbus is a damn blasted liar
Cristopher Columbus is a damn blasted liar, yes Jah

What a long stay from home

Within a red, green an' gold robe
Come on, twelve tribe of Israel
Come on, twelve tribe of Israel
A outa Jam Dung land ya
A whole heap a mix up, mix up
A whole heap a ben up, ben up
Come on, twelve tribe of Israel
Come on, twelve tribe of Israel
A outa Jam Dung land ya, yes Jah

Cristopher Columbus is a damn blasted liar
Cristopher Columbus is a damn blasted liar, yes Jah
He's a liar, yes Jah
He's a liar, yes Jah
Columbus he's a liar, yes Jah
