SOUTH BEND, Ind. — The University of Notre Dame will cover murals in a campus building that depict Christopher Columbus in America, the school's president said, following criticism that the images depict Native Americans in stereotypical submissive poses before white European explorers.
The 12 murals created in the 1880s by Luis Gregori were intended to encourage immigrants who had come to the U.S. during a period of anti-Catholic sentiment. But they conceal another side of Columbus: the exploitation and repression of Native Americans, said the Rev. John Jenkins, president of Notre Dame.

Liberal whites getting offended on behalf of minorities has set race relations back decades.

There were people in North America tens of thousands of years before the Asians walked over the land bridge. The indians killed all them off and took the land for themselves. They were the original thief.

Frick this gay earth. If we’re gonna get offended how about we cover up pictures of priests since some of them committed atrocities with little boys.

So they cover up an immigrants picture, yet they want to roll out the red carpet for illegal immigrants to come over?

History started about 8000 years ago.
