I mean, if you think about it, this very post kinda “shows” the existance of a black legend.
Maybe that is actually the point and I didn’t catch the irony. Apologies if so kind sir, too long working hours…

Wait, you are trying to tell me that inside a society there were different kinds of people with different morals and not everything was black and white?
And, altough we can’t judge an old society by our modern standars we can still aprecciate the effort of individual peoples in those to help form ours?

Funnily enough,even back in my school days (I’m Caribbean) the Spanish colonization was portrait as if the Castilian went out of their way just to be as harmful as possible to every native around.
When in reality the crown and church were like “Could you stop treating natives like crap?”.
What people forget is that it’s hard to impose when there is a *whole ass ocean* in the middle of the way
At least there is a statue and good mentioned of Fray Antonio de Montesinos. Truly a based guy

There really are black legends of many more empires than the Spanish one. This is normal, as all empires always had other empires that envied them.

The early Dominican order is not 16th Century, they had already been the main shock force used by the Popes/French in the Albigensian Genocide and most of the Inquisitors had been Dominics, the Malleus Maleficarum was written by one of them, why dou think they sent them to America? It’s just that some showed an unexpected empathy towards the Indians (Bartolomé de las Casas, Saint LluÃs Beltrán…) i wrote about it yesterday on another sub.
