Even Italian-Americans won't defend their own heritage.

[DIRTYSECRET]

Better than having it vandalized.

[PIF]

Buffalo Italian wimps bowing to the cancel culture without realizing they are of Roman descent and the Romans owned lots of slaves so they should cancel themselves as offensive

I read somewhere that there is a city in Ohio that has declared itself a “sanctuary city” for these unwanted statues. Maybe they should ship it there.

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” ― George Orwell, 1984

If Tony Soprano was alive to see this, he’d be rolling over in his grave.

Apologies to Ralph Kiner ...

Shame, a symbol of pride for hispanics, cristians and italians, removed.

At a time of ignorance, when a large portion of the population still thought of the earth as flat, Columbus went on daring voyage of discovery seeking to find another route to China.

Although driven by Christian fervor to ‘convert’ the indigenous populations he found backing for the expedition as a way to find another route to reach china.

He went into the unknown and he and his crew almost perished in the process. More than anything he represents dreams of discovery, courage and adventure.

He paved the way for our own daring voyages of Discovery to the Moon and Mars.

Now why is he being targeted? Because he was white? because he is the most famous of those that located the American continent?

Now all the ills that came onto the indigenous populations of America are laid upon him. What do those have anything to do with him? He never even set a foot on the continent! he just found and settled some islands.

Shame! Shame! on the City council.

“The group also asked that the space the statue previously stood be reserved for...”

a flagpole with a giant white flag with a knee pad crest.

“....the Federation also asked that October be recognized as Italian American Heritage Month and the second Monday of that month, which is when Columbus Day is traditionally observed, as Italian Heritage Day.”

Octoberteenth?

[Lurkinanloomin]

Pre-emptive surrender.

Or maybe they are just switching sides as the Italians did in both World Wars.

[Midwesterner53]

Either peaceful change or like a thief in the night (early morning) So the Italians have been cowed into submission too?
