Dozens of Christopher Columbus statues have been removed since June

At least 33 Christopher Columbus statues have been taken down or in the process of being removed since the renewed Black Lives Matter protests began in late spring, according to a count of local reports. Seeing them come down has been meaningful for Jorge Baracutei Estevez, the cacike, or chief, of the Higuayagua Taíno, a cultural group dedicated to the rescue of Taino culture and language.

"For [the statues] coming down, it's almost like a weight off my chest because it's like a validation," he told CBS News.
Protests have targeted Columbus because he is accused of the genocide of indigenous people. A 2019 study published in the journal Quaternary Science Review estimated that between 1492 and 1600, about 55 million people in the Americas died. The Taíno people were virtually wiped out in the decades after Columbus first arrived on the island of Hispaniola, where Haiti and the Dominican Republic sit today.

Waterbury Christopher Columbus statue will get its head back after November election
Sep 26, 2020

WATERBURY, Conn. (WTNH) — News 8 has exclusively learned the head of the decapitated Christopher Columbus statue in Waterbury will be placed back onto the statue after the November election.

There’s a referendum on the ballot asking Waterbury residents if the statue should stay in front of the city hall or be moved somewhere else once the head is reattached.
The statue has been the source of controversy and the site of protests this summer.

Many said it’s a racist symbol. Others saying it was a gift to the city in the 80s from Italian-American groups as a way to celebrate the city’s many immigrant groups.
Police say on July 4, Brandon Ambrose from Port Chester, New York, climbed on top of the statue and hammered the head off.
 
I dunno but Churchill and the British are/were a bunch of jerkoffs.

Forget about the fact that a bunch of American farmers stomped their military.

You see this fucking Churchill strutting around like hes not a complete piece of dogshit.

In the Pacific, the Japanese whipped the shit out of the British.

And in Europe, the Germans kicked the fuck out of the British all the way back to England.

It was fucking laughable.

If not for us, again, from the West and the Russians to the East, Britian would be dust right now with Churchill on all fours fellating Hitler.

Ofcourse the Riussians didnt have much choice, take your chances vs the Germans or get shot by Stalin.
 
Leftists will replace the statues with something. And then, in a few years, something else. And then again shortly after.

It's not about replacing an idea with another. It's about presenting so rapid a succession of ideas that they cease to exist altogether.
