While drifting from various magazine jobs, moving intermittenly from freelancing to regular jobs, White covered European politics, economics and the Marshall Plan while working in Paris. There he collected material for a bestseller about the hearing of Europe. As things settled down abroad, White returned briefly to the States and got a taste of U.S. politics. An introduction was enough, and he returned to the States for good. To get back in touch, he traveled cross-country and learned less about America than he did about himself and his sublimated passion for politics...

That's because we know very well that those colonists didn't "discover" any place that black Africans hadn't known about (and lived in) for a good long time. We also have little desire to glorify European colonialism in Africa, especially considering the quality of the resultant white minority-dominated societies in southern Africa today...
...then, are we so willing to celebrate European colonialism in America? Needless to say, Columbus Day is not designed to commemorate Chris Columbus's personal success in bumbling into a "new" continent. It's meant to pay tribute to the European "discovery" of America, the first step in the creation of the European colonies here. In that way, it is a tribute to American colonialism...
