First they came for the Confederate monuments and I remained silent....So what's to stop these a**holes from demolishing the Holocaust museums and destroying their artifacts because they offend the tender sensibilities of their Islamic comrades-in-arms. They're also a bunch of BDS-holes. Even that dumb b*tch Merkel hasen't contemplated destroying what's left of Auchwitz, at least for the time being.
mohammed was pro slavery.
Lets see if they truly oppose slavery.
It’s not important to me that Columbus is given credit for discovering the Americas. There are other claims to the discovery all the way back 10,000 years.
He is one of several who could stake a claim in semi-modern times, and it doesn’t bother me that we celebrate his achievement.
What bothers me is the knee-jerk (emphasis on jerk) people who are angered that he is given some recognition.
His achievement against long odds was real. He hadn’t discovered the back route to India he thought he would, but a mistaken discovery was still a discovery.
It certainly doesn’t damage anyone, the fact that he did this. Sooner or later Europeans were going to come to the Americas, and sooner or later the negative impacts of disease were going to happen.
People are explorers. Who knew?
People who get upset at the idea Columbus gets some positive recognition are simply ‘freaks’.
The leftist/progressive state that the protests against Confederate Memorials and for their removal are for two main reasons
1. They were traitorous rebels who seceded from the union
2. They supported slavery
Yet these same leftist/progressives grandly and publically support:
1. The California secessionist movement (Calexit)
2. Islam
To include the founder, Mohamed, who was a slave hunter, slave trader, sex slave trader and child slave trader.
To include the “holy” books (Koran and Hadith) of Islam which have specific holy instructions on how to take slaves, how to trade slaves, how to keep slaves and how to rape slaves.
Why are there no protests at Calexit meetings and at Mosques? Why are leftist/progressive so supportive of these secessionist and slavery movements?
We all know the reasons.
These protests and their largely sympathetic press coverage have nothing to do with “healing” or “cleansing our past of sins” or “Slavery” or “secessionists.”
They are temper tantrums and a way to delegitimize to the legally elected president.

An Unofficial Guide to the Exhibit
Take the 68th Street subway exit on the Upper East Side of Manhattan and walk over to Park Avenue. Two blocks north, on the street divider in the middle of four lanes of heavy traffic, a 10-foot-high steel sculpture of a Mao jacket greets you. Then on the building to the right is a big banner with a drawing of Mao Tsetung surrounded by images of workers, soldiers and youth marching with red flags, Red Books and rifles. This is the outside introduction to a new exhibit at the Asia Society Museum titled: “Art and China’s Revolution.”
In the next couple of months, tens of thousands of drivers will zoom past the huge Mao jacket, prompting many to do a double take. It will jog some people’s memories back to the ’60s when millions of people around the world, including here in the United States, looked to socialist China as a truly liberating society. For some it might bring to mind Andy Warhol’s pop-art image of Mao, which you occasionally still see on t-shirts and greeting cards.
After being bombarded by decades of being told that “communism is dead,” most people who drive or walk by will probably consider these artistic references as icons of “the failure of socialism.” But for those who actually go through the revolving glass doors of the museum and see the exhibit, this can be an opportunity to examine and think more about what Mao and the Cultural Revolution and socialism are really all about—and to look at, and reconsider, the “accepted wisdom” on the effect this historic struggle had on art and artists; and in turn, the role art and artists played in this historic struggle. ..."

Keep in mind as you're reading that Mao Zedong murdered many millions more people than did the Nazi Hitler, by a factor of at least 3.

Around 100 racists rallied in Charlottesville, Virginia, on the night of Saturday, May 13. They railed against the city’s plans to remove a statue of Confederate general Robert E. Lee—who led a war to defend and expand the enslavement of Black people—from a public park. The crowd carried torches that evoked a KKK lynch mob, and chanted “We [white people] will not be replaced” and “Blood and Soil” (a slogan from the Nazi German regime that carried out the genocidal slaughter of six million Jews and millions of other people in the mid-20th century). ..."

Until, we see a call for Islamic symbols to be removed, these people cannot be taken seriously, instead they are hypocrites and no better than Isis who wishes destroy historical records that document the wests growth from tribalism to a fredom, unlike the Muslim symbolism which the left defends and wont call ever for removal, to the contrary they are Islam's biggest supporters outside the Arab world.
how about if ‘leaders’ listen to the American people for a change: 94% of which believe it’s better to learn from history than try to erase history, 90% believe leaving Mt. Rushmore alone is the right thing to do, and 88% believe statues of founders shouldn’t be removed.
Another one where the jokes practically write themselves.
So what happens when de Blasio is considered a symbol of hate? He definitely qualifies in my opinion.
Isn’t pronouncing the statues “symbols of hate” beforehand a bit prejudicial to the outcome of any review? Columbus is a major historical figure with major accomplishments regardless of any negative aspects he may have had. Furthermore, I doubt anyone ever intended the statues to be a symbol of hate. And I guess Italian Americans are not allowed by the left to be proud of their heritage...
At present the largest hate mouthpieces in America are CNN, MSNBC, CBS, NBC, ABC, and ESPN. There are more but these come to mind. Let’s have the “hate speech” debate and let’s identify the haters by name.
A Whole New World: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Nope: Its “ a “Brave New World”
We have idiots whop WANT totalitarian government to acheive their Utopia.
And they are also arming themselves.

Joe Piscopo 12 noon rally @ City Hall today. NYers come out!! Don’t mess with Columbus statue!
What Will they do about the Columbus Day Parade?
How long before the PC police declare all white people symbols of hate who must be removed from public view? The media have worked overtime for many years demonizing white people, and demanding statues of white people be removed, how long before they demand actual white people be removed?
That said, I went to the local Confederate statue, looked at it, even swore at it, then had some nice things to say to it. Ya know what? That damn statue didn't move! Didn't make a peep! Didn't harm me in any way!
#### THAT!!!!
They’ll take it down over my dead or arrested body!!!!
Called EVERY Italian American group and there will be more Paesans than they can count to block the removal.
And we’re not ####ing choir boys.
They want to dance, let’s dance mother #####ers!!!
