A Catholic university in St. Louis has taken down a statue of a Catholic missionary over complaints that its depiction of Catholic conversion efforts represents a legacy of white supremacy

While the De Smet statue is coming down, SLU is forging ahead with plans to erect a statue commemorating a six-day anti-police protest held last October in the wake of the Michael Brown shooting in nearby Ferguson.

That Indian is like, "So let me get this right, your god sent his son to earth then tortured him and killed him to forgive man's sins? Why didn't he just forgive man's sins without killing his son? Is your god crazy?"

I read the student editorial quoted in the article. The kid admits to not doing any research on De Smit's relationship with Native Americans and includes this gem...
But hey, he thinks the statue is racist, so SLU needs to stop with the "negative messaging" and be more inclusive.

Most SLU students will never meet someone who identifies as an American Indian; with only 12 undergraduate students who identify as such, it’s a near certainty.

So....a catholic school is taking down a statue directly related to what the school represents (promoting Catholicism) and are going to replace it with a monument about a community protesting a white officer defending himself against a black man.......society is so screwed.
