Columbus Statue Removed

[Mitch f]

Let’s just erase all history and appease the criminals. Even the French President says they are off limits. We lost a 134 year old statue in Tower Grove park today. When will the BS stop?

Erasing history is a lot easier than learning from it.  People are falling over themselves to be seen as politically correct, wear the ribbon!

Our bike shop was on the south side of the park on Arsenal.  Test rode bikes by it hundreds of times.  What a shame.

Actually Columbus did nothing but bring VD and clamidia to America.    You wanna celebrate THAT ?

That’s the old “I’m jealous of America because they succeeded” professor narrative. The truth is much different

You're probably right.  That story sure grabbed my attention though. 😂

Columbus was a douchebag. I do wish they would teach the truth and not some government mandated one. 
 

I don’t care much about the statues. Take em or leave em. I don’t care. Just never been a fan of statues. But I think we should think long and hard about removing them to appease people. But that also has been going on for a long time. People still lose their minds over nativity scenes or crosses. Once you cater to one you cater to all.

That's what I'm saying ! 

Funny how they always wait until everyone that knew how things REALLY went down, are dead and gone.... before they start teaching (and preaching) about it.  And you must answer the tests a certain way in order to get that all important "diploma".
