“That does not represent our great city, and we will no longer live in the shadow of our ugly past.”

We'll just move on to the ugly future they are creating instead.

Literally named their city after him because of how much he represented the city.

What ugly past does Colombo represent, exactly? Discovering the continent?

Then why is this fucking hypocrite still standing on the continent that was discovered by the person whom he wants to cancel? Why doesn't he fuck off to Africa?

What a stupid statement. The only reason they have a “great” city to begin with is because of the man whose statue they just tore down.

The only thing that can be done is what the hippies do with trees. Civil disobedience. Join hands around the statue and refuse to be moved. Be willing to get arrested for your cause. Even a single person chaining themselves to the statue would be enough to stop the removal at least temporarily.

Basically the issue we have on hand is that the left is willing to be loud and create a scene for their causes and the right tends to just want to live their lives. But while we mosey along the left is literally burning down the country all around us.

The people of Columbus really dodged a bullet there. Imagine driving through Columbus and passing the Columbus city hall and right there is a statue of Columbus. Now at last the good people of Columbus will not be reminded of Columbus as they go about their daily lives in Columbus.

Dude was a beast. Killed by friendly fire. Things may have gone differently had he lived, he was Lee's best man. Glad we triumphed, but respect for the God-fearing man they called Stonewall.

"He (Mayor Andrew Ginther) asked the Columbus Art Commission to evaluate the diversity and inclusiveness of all public art, including other monuments, statues and art installations."

What a fucking pussy. Doesn't have the balls to pull the trigger on these public monuments himself. Needs to outsource it to insulate himself.

Everyone on the Columbus Art Commission should resign immediately because the commission is named after a notorious racist. Art Garfunkel.

To add insult to injury: Cristoforo Colombo was Italian. Italians didn't have an easy life in the early days of America, they weren't even considered white. Italians were lynched too.

20MagnusKonrad20 2 points ago +2 / -0

Leftists: but they're considered white now and therefore enjoy all of the social privileges of whiteness. Also they are not being lynched today. Only black people still get lynched(greatly expands the definition of lynching).

The term "indigenous people" when referring to North America is a completely false premise, aka A BIG FUCKING LIE:

in·dig·e·nous /inˈdijənəs/ adjective originating or occurring naturally in a particular place; native.

Any humans living in North America when Christopher Columbus crossed the Atlantic in 1492 or anyone that came after him and actually stepped onto the mainland of what is today the United States NEVER encountered so-called "indigenous people", they were simply descendants of immigrants that came before from Asia or "Eurasia". They didn't pop up out of the ground one day in Ohio like some kind of plant. They did not "naturally occur" here.

The way the left hijacks and twists terminology and verbiage to use it as a weapon cannot be overlooked and needs to be challenged and called out for the bullshit it is every single time.

They don't care about the history of Native Americans owning slaves or the kente cloths democrats wore are fitting representations of the modern democrat party - They were worn by the Ashanti kingdoms that regularly enslaved and sold people.

Can these removals be a pre-emptive move? Take the statue down in proper fashion, store it away in a city warehose to be re-installed later when these fucks move on to their next manufactured outrage?

They can tear down all the statues, rename cities, etc. but it won't do a damn thing to change the real problem: blacks committing crimes. Funny how the black lives being taken in Chicago every single weekend don't matter to BLM.

The statue, which will be placed for safekeeping in a city facility, had been a gift from the people of Genoa, Italy, in 1955.

Mayor Andrew Ginther announced last month that the statue would be coming down, saying it doesn’t represent the city’s values, news station WSYX reported.

Ah, so they used the excuse of "safe keeping" to take down the statue without a vote. Well, time to force their hand.
