With regard to the fact that he represented the takeover of the Americas by European races, Columbus and all explorers were detrimental to the cultures of Native Americans. However, the current nations that exist in North and South America would not exist, and the world would not have benefitted from them, if not for the pioneering voyages of Columbus.

1492. Columbus actually discovered the Caribbean, not America. However, we give him credit because he was close. He actually was horrible at navigating. He thought he was going to Asia.... America is actually named after Amerigo Vespuci (that spelling might be incorrect) if you were curious :)
Walter Ralrigh discovered it when he found rare plants near Jamestown when he first arrived. You might think its Christopher Columbus but they weren't that smart to discover it then.
America was always there
The continent of America is named after Amerigo Vespucci, an Italian explorer who first recognized that the lands discovered by Christopher Columbus were part of a new continent and not Asia as initially believed.

Primarily, those who dislike Christopher Columbus do so from the standpoint that he was actually an insufferable human being and a racist. Please read the Related Link to see how Columbus, as Governor of Spanish Hispaniola tortured those under his authority in cruel ways. Also note that it was so bad, that the King and Queen of Spain dragged him back to Spain and incarcerated him for his bad treatment of both Spaniards and the Natives. This should indicate that this is not just a modern perspective of Columbus, but that he was seen as horrible in his own time.
You might know Christopher Columbus has discovered the West Indies well since that day on we remember him by he discovering the West Indies. It's not rocket science nerds!
