Christopher Columbus really didn't do all that much to/for/in America aside from being one of the last "explorers" to land near here, misidentify the area as being part of Asia, and spread STDs.
It is far from proven whether Columbus brought an extremely virulent form of syphilis to the Americas or he brought syphilis to Europe from the Americas.

However, it is believed that Columbus brought a number of diseases including tuberculosis to Europe from the Americas.
It is also believed that Columbus brought some infectious diseases like smallpox, measles and influenza to the Americas.

So, why is Columbus supposed to be considered a bad guy?
His treatment of the natives. He had his crew kill and enslave a large number of them.

All this monument nonsense is a bit absurd. But, to be fair, Christopher Columbus really didn't do all that much to/for/in America aside from being one of the last "explorers" to land near here, misidentify the area as being part of Asia, and spread STDs.
So why was his statue targeted? Think, man, think.

He had it coming. That Columbus statue should know that colonization is no longer politically correct.

Columbus was a serious POS. Like Sadaam Hussein he was a tyrant who served a purpose, but I'm not going out of my way to protect any of his statues.

It is obvious that mmcgrath is just "serving his purpose".

Its going to be funny to watch progressives and the media twist themselves into a knot to defend these morons. Its a shame we will lose beautiful monuments to history in the process.

American Indians weren't always in the North America as they claim.
They came from Asia and also "colonized" North America.

95% of this board doesn't understand just how bad a person Columbus actually was during his day.
He was a product of his time. The vast majority of the Spanish explorers who followed him were cut from the same cloth.

y'all get so triggered when people point out the obvious I've been vocal against the statue removals, but please just keep assuming, it certainly doesn't make y'all look like hacks

You sure get triggered when someone calls you a moderate.

So, what you're saying, is he did the same thing Indians did.
