“The PC people are going to have a problem with the Italians.”

Oh, yes; you are so right! A couple days ago I saw a Fox interview with Joe Piscopo and he was supremely pissed. This isn’t going to be pretty. I LOVE Italian Americans, and they aren’t going to wimp out on this.

I hope you are right, it is a disgrace to erase history, no matter if the history is favorable or not.

NOBODY THOUGHT TO PING ME ON THIS?!??!

We’ll take the Columbus Circle statue to Staten Island and we’ll take antifa and BLM straight to ####ing hell.

Now they’re messing with a son of a ######.

We play for keeps. Many are looking forward to meeting antifa and BLM if they try to take down the Columbus Circle statue.

Cause we’re stupid that way. We don’t care if we’re bleeding or you hit us with a chain or a blackjack or whatever these POS bring

As long as we’re breathing, they’re gonna end up in the back of an ambulance.

I can’t wait.

columbus’s expeditions lead to the continuous settlement of the western hemisphere by a superior culture that made the US the greatest nation ever. that’s the message.

Columbus Day isn’t about Italian immigrants.

It’s about the discovery of America by Europeans, which is a great thing.

If we hadn’t discovered it, the continent would still be empty, thinly populated by troglodyte tribes mainly descended from the Altai in Central Asia. They would not have advanced past their basic hunter gatherer “societies” as they were 4000 years behind the Europeans when we found them. 500 years of undisturbed time after 1492 would not have changed that.

Instead the most modern society on the planet exists in North America now, which could not have happened without Columbus’s expedition.

2 generations ago nobody disputed any of that.

No reason to now.

It’s ironic that “Hispanics” associate the exploitation of indians in the Caribean with “Italian-Americans” when it was other Hispanics who enslaved and murdered them.

Columbus was just an explorer.

IMHO
