I’d point back to Prem’s people’s historical slavery, racism and castes that exist to this day and call him a hypocrite.
Not to be a conspiracy theorist, but are OUR people putting these petitions out there? Because if you want to fire up Italian-Americans in Pittsburgh, Moon Township, etc., you can’t do much better than to threaten to take down Columbus. Whoever is doing it, please keep it up!
Go entertain yourself Mr. Rajgopal.
Don’t tell the people of Pittsburgh their city is named after Pitt the Elder a WASP.
There are a LOT of Italians living here in the Burgh.
This is not going to end well.
Columbus was a slaver???
Historically there has been a long and thriving slave trade in Africa long before the white man ever hit the beach there. When the white man did hit the beach in Africa black slave traders were ready, willing and able to bring all the black slaves to the beach that could be carried off for a price.
I do not believe there were any, or at least not very many, whites who reached the beach in Africa that had to go into the bush, capture, contain and transport black slaves to the boats.
What responsibility to blacks have for the slave trade and what should be their own punishment and reparation and to whom?
This is about as stupid a suggestion that anyone living today is guilty of anything or owes anyone anything with regards to slavery or any other mistreatment of the past.
All blm is, is another political hack that should STFU and generally just go to hell.
He made the natives stop engaging in cannibalism and their own slavery, including keeping pregnant Caribs in tiny cages.
Yeah, lets tear down the statute of the Jewish man who discovered the West Indies and not Boston. So, what is their problem with Columbus? I guess Ohio will have to come up with a new name for their city also.
All this crap is getting stupid. This is nothing more than a stupid to take down everything a white person ever accomplished. Before long, the history books will say that white people never existed. Remember Obammy had the muzzies coming over on the Mayflower and helped found and settle Boston. This crap has got to end. WHEN are whites going to stand up and say enough is enough and quit worrying about being accused of being racist with every move we make. I am damned tired of this crap. I am getting tired of being accused of being racist on every thing I do or say. Sick of it. I am not racist, BUT I am starting to seriously consider being one just so that I am on the same sheet as they are!!! GET ARMED AND STAY ARMED. Went to the gun shop today. They FINALLY got in a shipment of hollowpoints for my 9mm. Been next to impossible to get them lately, but today I came out with over $100 worth!! Goes along with all the “practice” (ha ha) ball rounds I had loaded up in my mags.
