Columbus statue covered up in LA, Columbus Day removed and replaced by Indiginous Peoples Day

Its all about revisionism and white-washing history.

Cristoforo Colombo, who if alive today would be a member of ISIS, based on his actions, was really a hero, because he re-discovered Murka for Europeans(after it was discovered by Vikings but we like his discovery better because instead of leaving he stayed and set up a mini-dictatoship where kicked the Natives and Spanish colonists arse!!) and kicked off an age of exploration and exploitation which led to Murka being a country.

Oh and those black people we brought over form Africa to rub our feet were workers not slaves too.

Which crimes where those?

History shaming keep rising and rising, USA was founded by racist people and had brutal murderous ways with the start of the government so therefore we should skip all this white guilt crap and move to the end. Disband USA as a nation and government give it back to the native American's and the whites go back to Europe or where ever they belong. END goals guys END goals

Without Colombus, the United States would have never been discovered and no one would have ever given the natives blankets. They would have died from the cold. Celebrate him, damnt!

"According to the report, Columbus once punished a man found guilty of stealing corn by having his ears and nose cut off and then selling him into slavery. Testimony recorded in the report stated that Columbus congratulated his brother Bartolomeo on "defending the family" when the latter ordered a woman paraded naked through the streets and then had her tongue cut out for suggesting that Columbus was of lowly birth.[84] The document also describes how Columbus put down native unrest and revolt; he first ordered a brutal crackdown in which many natives were killed and then paraded their dismembered bodies through the streets in an attempt to discourage further rebellion.[85]"Columbus's government was characterised by a form of tyranny," Consuelo Varela, a Spanish historian who has seen the document, told journalists.[84] "Even those who loved him had to admit the atrocities that had taken place."[84]

Jesus, did he also start ISIS?

You can acknowledge that some guy accidentally found this land, but you don't have to celebrate him if he was a giant piece of shit.

Yep Leif Erikson landed in what he called Vinland which is now the province of Newfoundland in Canada in 1000 AD. Stayed there for a few years and then left. Wrote that the natives were hostile to him and his crew. Unlike Columbus from all I've read he did not slaughter and massacre the native population

Yeah, they were out slaughtering and massacring other populations.

Well, now studies have shown that the Vikings discovered America before Columbus. And I had just a tinge of sarcasm in my response. I did not know any of the things you mentioned, but had read about the brutal treatment of natives.
