Forget Lincoln, forget Confederate generals, and forget former Supreme Court justicesits Christopher Columbus turn to be put in the crosshairs of the progressive left. Replicas of the Niña and the Pinta, two of the three ships that sailed with Columbus to the new world, sailed into Traverse City, Michigan, where they were met with protests, some calling them black ships of death, while others saying the ships represent nothing but genocide. So, even learning about the discovery of the new world is racist, especially if its not done through the revisionist lens of progressivesonly they can really teach our true history. Yeah, thats just crap. Of course, many bad things happened during colonization, but it doesnt negate the fact that Columbus came here and if ships, the method of transportation in which he arrived here triggers youyoure just a weak, soft and fragile human being (via 9&10 News):

>>Do I have the right to go all out on them?
Probably only if there is not a “prohibition against cultural appropriation of the right to be offended by cultural appropriation” clause in the fine print.
Many Mongolians still live like that.
If you visit Mongolian nomads, they may boil a sheep head in your honor...
“...Liberia...”
While I agree with the sentiment, I’m pretty sure Liberia would resist such efforts, probably violently.
Sure they have their own problems to deal with, much less us dumping our lowest common denominator societal rejects on them...
Just sayin’ :^)
They wouldn’t even be here if it wasn’t for those ships so they can STFU.
Ping.
The Asians that remained in Asia didn't have peyote...
>>No one.
Analysis of coprolite[edit]
The initial reports speculating that the seven humans had been cannibalized was met with skepticism from some scientists and criticism by Native American groups including the Ute tribe. (The Ute are a separate people from either the alleged victims or the alleged perpetrators.) The Ute have a strong oral tradition of peace between their ancestors and neighboring groups, which is not necessarily in agreement with the traditions of other groups or historical information.[6]
To investigate the theory that cannibalism had been practiced at the Cowboy Wash site, Richard Marlar, a University of Colorado molecular biologist examined the coprolite (fossilized human feces) found on site and discovered it tested positive for human myoglobin, which is found in human muscle tissue. This type of myoglobin was not found in 20 'control' coprolites in comparable sites.[7] This indicated the feces contained the remains of digested human flesh.[8] Malar also found the myoglobin protein during a chemical analysis of a cooking pot at the ancient Anasazi site.

>>Conservatives must go in to these institutions.
Yep.
{ CQ Mr. Progressive Band leader? }
...etc...Those are Black Ships of Death.

To remain strictly PC, shouldn’t that read
African American Ships of Death?
We have to turn their own words and stupidity back on them.
Like Lewis spouting off about the sharks still habitating the waters of the Slave Ship routes, looking for the 1000 potential slaves that were thrown overboard every day.
R Limbaugh ran some #s to show the sheer stupidity of the statement so Lewis ‘amended’ it by saying 500 a day, and R’s math still disproved that ‘fact’.
No one even had to mention that those people the African Blacks sold to the Dutch Slave Ship Captains, were still owned by the Captains, so it isn’t likely anyone would have been throwing that much CASH into the ocean.
Logic - the killer of Liberal speak.
When will folks on the right, or even center, start to bring up the sort of things these far left protesters stand for, and the sort of historic figures THEY admire and regard as 'heroes', still to this day. Monsters like Mao tse Tung who murdered over 20 million of his own people. Some of them view Stalin, the North Korea's Kim Jung-Il family dynasty, 'Che' Guevara, and "Killing Fields" Pol Pot as great men. And of Fidel Castro.
Do you really need an answer?
Disease was the biggest killer, and, as you said, sooner or later the Europeans were going to arrive. Without resistance to those diseases from Europe and Asia the Native Americans were in serious trouble, even if the Europeans had arrived with the most peaceful of intentions.
Agree. A number of mayors now were community organizers. The damn hate America crowd has been doing ACORN like crap for 30 years or so. They have had little opposition.
Of course Chris landed in the U.S.! He sailed his ships up the Congaree River and founded the city of Columbia, South Carolina, the state capital to this day and where a statue erected in his honor still stands.
OK, just kidding....except for the statue! It was unveiled in 1992 over the protests of black-caped students from two local black colleges who milled around passing out leaflets `Columbus was a genocidal killer’, etc. It stands on a pedestal taller than the statue itself. Hmm...wonder why?
That was 25 years ago. What’s in store now, I don’t know.
Now they are after historical Catholics?
Hold on a minute..didn’t Columbus usher in an era of unfettered immigration and open borders? I thought that was what the idiot progressive, leftist, communist, fascist liberals were all about. They are the most stupid, vile, intolerant, ignorant bunch of kooks that have emerged in a long time. Antifa and its ilk are the American isis and should be labeled as a terrorist organization. Bring it on antifa....you will find there are some patriots left....
Liberia would resist? Isn’t that why our government bought Liberia? For freed folks who wanted to go back to the motherland? Was there a time limit on that reverse migration?
“...Isnt that why our government bought Liberia?...”
Long time ago, in a land far, far away, friend. Different times, different people, with different attitudes.
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberia
“...The Republic of Liberia began as a settlement of the American Colonization Society (ACS), who believed blacks would face better chances for freedom in Africa than in the United States.[7] The country declared its independence on July 26, 1847. The United Kingdom was the first country to recognize Liberia’s independence.[8] The U.S. did not recognize Liberia’s independence until during the American Civil War on February 5, 1862....”
“Political tensions from the rule of William R. Tolbert resulted in a military coup in 1980 that overthrew his leadership soon after his death, marking the beginning of years-long political instability. Five years of military rule by the People’s Redemption Council and five years of civilian rule by the National Democratic Party of Liberia were followed by the First and Second Liberian Civil Wars. These resulted in the deaths and displacement of more than half a million people and devastated Liberia’s economy. A peace agreement in 2003 led to democratic elections in 2005, in which Ellen Johnson Sirleaf was elected President. Recovery proceeds but about 85% of the population live below the international poverty line. ...”
So, they can’t even get it together properly to manage themselves. They’re not going to be too keen on taking our dregs when they have their own to deal with.
Following in the foot steps of the Taliban.
They can practice what they preach by leaving.
