Just the beginning of collective repentance for the crimes of European settlers against Native American populations or a primitive "lightning rod" of the accumulated social protest?

Mayor Lori Lightfoot is planning to remove the controversial statue of Christopher Columbus from Chicago’s Grant Park as soon as Thursday night, in part to avoid another high-profile confrontation between police and protesters like the one that happened last week.

Protesters marched downtown last Friday then headed into Grant Park where a group of individuals attempted to take down the statue, similar to what’s happened in other cities across the country.

Chaos followed the protest as officers and demonstrators clashed around the statue. At least 20 complaints of police brutality were filed against Chicago cops, including one involving activist Miracle Boyd, who said she was hit in the face by a police officer during the skirmish in Grant Park, knocking out at least one of her teeth.

Chicago's statues of Columbus have become a heated controversy for Lightfoot, who has rejected calls to bring down monuments honoring Columbus.
She also has rejected calls to rename the Columbus Day holiday.

I for one am very glad to see the mayor focused on this important issue it's not like Chicago has any serious problems with shootings or murder that need her attention.

The ULTIMATE hypocrisy: Gamey children so confused and hateful of their country they want to topple statues of the man who discovered their continent and put it on the map, yet not reviled enough to actually give up all the benefits, privilege and rewards that come with living here!

[shockedcanadian]

Let's be honest, you guy back far enough and human beings were all evil bastards, if they were of any significance. We can't change history, it is what it is, even if you try to replace it like some communist, next generations will find the answers.

Ultimately, all of this effort is to erase the U.S from history. Your Constitution will follow eventually, it has to in order for America to not be America. Even the Russians didn't go this far with their hatred of America.

Fine, then put all that evil/racist Columbus and Confederate shit in a museum. Out of sight so people don't have to see that evil/racist shit everyday. And also teach the TRUTH in our schools.
