already past five centuries of the extraordinary feat of sailing the seas in ships weak, with no maps or reliable instruments, we must reflect a time when the significance of this marvelous adventure. In recent decades is impolitic, to celebrate this event starting from the incorporation of American history. Are best left to forget what they did, with all its virtues and defects, the grandparents of our grandparents.
If it is true that the black legend centuries mark a will amplify the flaws, mistakes and crimes, and instead intended to conceal the bravery, courage, higher ideals, which led to hundreds of sailors, discoverers, explorers , priests and poets who travel to the uncertain, to become famous, do remarkable feats with untold sacrifices for the greater glory of Christianity, the king and of themselves.
look easy, this legend Black has come to change the view of history, discipline always seen by men who have their preconceptions and prejudices so. It is very easy today, forgetting the historical context, in the comfort of an armchair, determine the number of mistakes made, certainly the same comfort that blind us today that we are making mistakes. Apparently blaming many of the ills to the arrival of the Spaniards want to justify the problems we face 500 years later, with differences much more odious than those that existed in the colony.
Today, we see the majority of Latin American countries, have a dozen families who own nearly everything, ie the advertised Gold Rush has become a craze for wealth, whatever it is wherever it comes. Evangelization increasingly precarious and in danger of further worsening, with ill-chosen leaders, from sad memories most of them.
The abuse, prejudice, privilege, dogma, sectarianism, inquisitive vision of yesterday can not be justified with the same attitude today. Much less when the errors present are the ideals, the courage, faith and courage of the discoverers, explorers and builders of the first Hispanic American. We bring our own and connoisseurs of "past mistakes", not continue to perpetuated today. Work to enlarge the American continent a proposal for the authenticity of the faith that brought the Spaniards. With respect to the English language by which we communicate, we represent and believe. Relive the excitement and slaughtered by big companies, above the smallness of the short-term calculation.
My respectful greetings and admiration to all those who have given your work and life, "blood, sweat and tears" by the America we enjoy today and my invitation to make it more powerful, dignified and responsible. All fit in it, nobody on, nobody owns, nobody is a foreigner, or inferior condition
