You're all confused mba. I didn't defend Columbus or post any articles about him. You criticize the article Wave755 posted, and I'm just saying the two you posted are laughable.

You get on that soapbox and defend Columbus as a hero who deserves statues dedicated to him in public squares. Good stuff. You should be proud, congrats.
Also, after another read, the article you referenced is a freakin joke and there are numerous articles telling a very different story. But that is just fakes news, right?

I am led by no one. Columbus is an animal. Whether u think american history is better with statues to animal’s like Columbus and folks who fought to preserve slavery, that’s fine, but I am not led by any “nose”. I will be clear, what about columbus, as a proud Italian american whose grandfather came to the states from Genoa (Alfredo Malatesta), should I be promoting?. His freaking diary? Or the ample evidence of his horrendous sins published again and again and again and again? God forbid people would be offended celebrating an animal who brutalized human beings for his own gain.HoustonWave wrote: ↑Fri Jul 03, 2020 1:58 pmYou're all confused mba.

But hey let’s read his journal to fund that he was a good guy.
I am looking forward to reading the diaries of the true animals, the African's who went thru the country side, capturing their brothers and sisters to be sold at the slave ports of call ....all in the name of making a buck, and it is still a thriving business .. where is the African American out cry on behave of their ancestors, why are they not in Africa, putting a stop to human trafficking...mbawavefan12 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 03, 2020 6:38 pmI am led by no one.

In light of the following, isn’t it time we “cancelled” the “animal” Abraham Lincoln from American history?
*****
“While Lincoln is revered for ending slavery, he is viewed among the Sioux as a president who oversaw the largest mass execution in American history when 38 Sioux were hung in Minnesota during the Dakota War of 1862. Mount Rushmore, Semans said, should be used to tell that story.” https://www.argusleader.com/story/news/ ... 198922001/

You realize how similar people like you are to the wacky left. Ya’ll should be better friends on the “outrage” trail.
Remove a statue of a confederate general and then site the wacky left overstepping or folks with an internet connection removing rushmore. Then the wacky right starts fighting to not wear a simple mask and how we are a socialist society. How now we are going to rename every institution with the smallest connection to slavery.
You and the wacky left just feed on each other like virus’s and foxnews and msnbc exec just count their money with glee. Enjoy you lemming status. Mostly wasting my time as you won’t ever wake up to form a POV outside the reality you are comfortable with, which frankly is pretty cool. Wish I didn’t need to think critically and could just believe one reality and be dine with it all.
“be dine with it all”? Well, if you say so.mbawavefan12 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 03, 2020 10:37 pmIt’s all or nothing.Wave755 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 03, 2020 9:46 pm In light of the following, isn’t it time we “cancelled” the “animal” Abraham Lincoln from American history?

I’m so happy we can finally bring the races together renaming statues, street signs, sports teams and historical figures from 100’s of years ago. . Damn I which I’d had thought about that before civil rights.
Point was, Lincoln was hardly perfect, but he was great. Columbus, Cristobal Colon, argued by many in Spain to have been Spanish and not Italian (DNA studies continue at present), was hardly perfect but he was great. And yes, I have travelled to Columbus’ burial monument located inside of the Cathedral of Seville.

Comparing Lincoln to Columbus. Missed this one, good stuff. History lesson for all.

Congrats on visiting Columbus’s grave, must have been a proud memory. I am sure Lincoln is proud to be compared to Mr Colon.
They were both great. And, a trip to the Cathedral of Seville, where Columbus' burial Monument is located, is quite an experience.mbawavefan12 wrote: ↑Thu Jul 09, 2020 3:55 pmComparing Lincoln to Columbus.

Oh, and for your edification, Sevilla is in Spain.
And to think, the Oglala Sioux claim Lincoln is a villain and want his image removed from Mount Rushmore?

John McDonogh Monument @ Lafayette Square toppled - Another sad day for New Orleans.
https://www.klfy.com/louisiana/john-mcd ... l-toppled/
My office looks down on Lafayette Square from Poydras Center. When I arrived this morning and saw NOPD cops everywhere, sadly I immediately thought of the McDonogh Monument. I hope the City has the intestinal fortitude to repair and re-install this historic monument?

And after all, the McDonogh Monument across the street from Gallier Hall was only 122 years old, erected in 1898 and paid for with the nickel donations of New Orleans public school children, so why not destroy it? And, do so like true cowards under the cover of darkness in the very early hours after midnight?
And yes, undoubtedly Mic Man’s kind of men.
