City Council Speaker Suggests Christopher Columbus Statue Is A Hate Symbol

[Shub]

Not only did he never set foot in America, he thought he was in India:nohead:

 

[Mobdeeper7239]

There are some white supremacy assholes who think the Holocaust wasn't real. To me.....that's worse than complaining. That's worse than standing/kneeling for anything.

That is just plain ignorant and stupid. I'd rather hear people complaining about equality all day over hearing bullshit ridiculous statements like that and people actually believing it. Smh.

Is that why we call Native Americans indians?

Fuk you, fuk you and Fuk You

Might as well just get rid of All the History in the world !

Libraries, museums and websites with historical themes will retain whatever it is you fear losing.

Meanwhile, I can be relieved of lying to my grandchildren telling them Robert E Lee and Stonewall Jackson are heroic role models

 

[SgtLanquel]

i think i will have someone make me a obama and martin luther king statues and then rent a public place and hired a few people to tear the shit of them in the open

go for it, chubby

Though - knowing you - the only video record offered will be a parking lot "near the action"

Well yes.....all funnin' aside, that is precisely why the European immigrants of 16th century North America adopted that word for those races of indigenous peoples

Christopher Columbus practiced forced labor, human enslavement, human mutilation, child prostitution / child sex slaves, theft, and brutality on the natives whom he governed.

He didn't even discover America, Amerigo Vespucci did, hence why we are named after him.

Why we idolize and give a holiday to such a horrible person is beyond me.

I am going to add to the second answer, the first one is not a very good answer.

Christopher Columbus did horrible things to the Taino, I will say what he did.

In 1492 he landed in the Bahama's (People say he landed in the America's but that is not true.)

When Christopher Columbus landed on the islands he wrote in his journal, the first thing he said was this: "They... brought us parrots and balls of cotten and spears and many other things... They would make fin servants... With fifty men we could subjygate them all and make them do whatever we want." That is exactly what he wrote.

After his ship the Santa Maria fell he built a mansion called the Navidad.

He left back to England, leaving 42 of his men at the island.

When Cristopher Columbus returned he found that all 42 of his men were dead.

Yes the Taino attacked, but why did they attack?

This letter was found while Cristopher Columbus was looking around.

It was written by one of his men.

" band feeling had arisen and had broken out of warfare because of the licentious conduct of our men towards the Indian women, for each Spaniard had five women to minister to his pleasure."

That being said, the reason the Taino attacked is because Columbus's crew had used those women as sex slaves.

There are a lot more things that Christopher Columbus did to those innocent Taino people.

I encourage you to research and learn how badly he treated those people. He is not a hero at all.

GB- Do you mean my "Baltimore people?"

I don't keep in touch personally with anyone there now. Besides my 84 year old 100% white grandmother who I visit weekly. But maybe she did it. She's a very open lady. So she's accepting of black people lol.(makes her a prime suspect). Never met someone so open minded and respectful of others. But she patrols the neighborhood as a volunteer with her citizen patrol thing on top of her car. Bro she's 84 years old rolling up on drug dealers in back alleys making transactions. I told her no more of that shit. Next time I'm there ima have to check for a sledgehammer. So that's my people.

This is Obama's fault. 8 Years of him encouraging this snowflake maggot behavior.

Worst President ever, and his actions will take generations to recover from.

 

[festeringZit]

The fuckers that did this need to be caught and prosecuted with the full extent of the law.

Myra they should. Start making examples of these maggots destroying property.

 

[HacheMan]

Any & all Barack Obama statues & busts need to come down immediately as well...

Unlike the presidents before him, Obama did absolutely nothing to prevent North Korea and Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. Now North Korea and Iran both have nuclear weapons.

How come this "true history" is only coming out in recent years? why not 50 years or more ago?

And how can it be proved? either version....

And why are people so angry about what happened before their great great grandparents were event born? There are plenty of issues today they can be focused on.

This is similar to the plot on the Columbus day parade episode of Sopranos.

I do not think any statue should come down. They represent a part of our history. Good or Bad. Great things are done by evil men. Its a fact. Columbus was a disgusting human that did atrocious things. Thomas Jefferson (along with most founding fathers) owned and sold slaves. John Adams defended the British at the Boston Massacre (and one by the way) then became president.

Statues are symbols of history and great events not life stories. Who are we to rewrite history on a whim.
