Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther announced the statue of Christopher Columbus outside of city hall will be removed as soon as possible.
Ginther said the statue on the Broad Street side will be placed in storage.
For many people in our community, the statue represents patriarchy, oppression and divisiveness. That does not represent our great city, and we will no longer live in the shadow of our ugly past, said Mayor Ginther. Now is the right time to replace this statue with artwork that demonstrates our enduring fight to end racism and celebrate the themes of diversity and inclusion.
I think they want to herd all of us into cities where they can easily control us. Lately, the suburbs don’t feel anywhere near rural enough for me.
Eventually, that will be in most future history books.
I can’t believe we’re letting them do this....this is WORSE than the taliban destroying the Buddhist statues...
It’s my estimation that every man ever got a statue made of him was one kind of sommbitch or another. Ain’t about you, Jayne. It’s about what they need.

And what lie would that be?
Because the indigenous oppressed, etc...
That he discovered America.
I recommend a stature of that noted unifier Al Sharpton
