Mayor Bill de Blasio on Friday announced the 16-member committee that will review all "symbols of hate" on city property over the next three months. Announced in the wake of violence waged by white nationalists at a rally in Charlottesville, Virginia last month, the group is tasked with establishing guidelines for how to assess statues and monuments "seen as oppressive and inconsistent with the values of New York City."
The group will also make specific recommendations for "a select few items," according to City Hall. This number undoubtedly includes the statue of Christopher Columbus in Columbus Circle, which Mayor de Blasio has refused to take a side on. City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito has called for the statue to be removed, citing Columbus's legacy as a colonizer, while mayoral challengers Nicole Malliotakis, the GOP frontrunner, and Democratic challenger Sal Albanese have come out in the statue's defense. This week, Malliotakis charged that de Blasio "obviously doesn't have the heart and soul of an Italian."

The violence in Charlotsville was not perpetrated by the White Nationalists but against them by the Antifa. They we’re attacked, and the police did nothing. Fuck the author of this article for continuing the boy lie.
Brown Nationalists (Mecha and others) and Black Nationalists are never ever called out as such in the press.
Mars?
Today’s cost-saving Marxists want to do away with old people as well.

Death panels
Forced “euthanasia”
Teachers tell their students that their parents are racists, etc.
Politicians and pundits say that some day those old people will be dead and those views will just ‘die off’
Didn’t see the kooo-ran in that list. No greater symbol of hate than that.
Oh right. No rabidly liberal progressive global communists on that list. (eye roll) Has DeBlasio explained why his chosen minions get to decide instead of putting it on a ballot for the people to vote on.
Miniluv is here.
A censorship board eh?
He could just hire the Taliban who have experience with such things.
Clearly, Grant’s Tomb must be demolished in the name of justice.
Some militant conservatives in NY should spray paint “Democrat” on all confederate statues. Probably not many in NY but nationwide it might wake people up that the RAT party is the party of racism, slavery and the KKK. The RAT party should be forced to disband or at least change their name as it is more responsible for black oppression than anything else.
PS: Columbus never “colonized” America, he never even reached the mainland.

Hmmmmm.....didn’t mohammed give instructions on how and when to beat ones’ slaves/wives?
Didn’t he also tell his soldiers it was OK to rape those they conquered?
Of course, the maybe rape and beatings aren’t done out of hatred....
