Columbus Circle monument could be next statue to go

by freemindfade in

christopher columbus could be next on the monuments chopping block.. the 76-foot structure honoring the explorer at columbus circle should be among the statues reviewed by the city for potential purging, city council speaker melissa mark-viverito said on monday.. http://nypost.com/2017/08/21/columbus-circle-monument-could-be-next-statue-to-go/.

if this goes on, these people are just validating what the orange one said, where will it stop?

how will people 200 years from now look back on us?

Ours are mostly from the ancient Jewish, Chrisitan, Greek and Roman world's.

If we dug into the actions of any past figures most would have reputations that do not fit our modern sensibilities. Do we tear down everything?

How will people 200 years from now look back on us? Most historical figures are not without "sin" by modern standards.

We are so stupid, we are tearing down statues of people who committed social wrongs in the past by modern standards, yet we insulate and excuse the religion of Islam that is actually currently living like its 200 years ago. Ass backwards

Hollywood messed up another one

by hothabanero in

i am a big superhero fan and was looking forward to "the defenders".

the first two episodes are great but then ... liberalism happens.

one of the heroes (luke cage, big black guy) goes on this crazy rant, like a liberals wet dream of the bravehearth speech.

Love the series so far, did notice that bit stood out like a sore thumb.

I am willing to listen to a cogent argument to defend memorializing pro-slavery figures, if there is one.

Let me ask a question, do you think most of these "kids" flipping out over these statues would even know who they hell they were? Forget Lee, any of the Confederate statues that are being taken down? I bet most have no clue who is what. I think the point of this whole exercise (pulling down statues) is not to eliminate hate, but to make a point. As I said before, it is virtue flag waving and self serving before anything else.

When Rome converted to Christianity, it's my understanding most the old pagan statues were either absorbed into the new norm or repurposed as someone else. What's the point? They weren't trying to split Rome in half. When the dipshit likes of Antifa get involved, it's less about "slavery" and more about testing the limits of suppressing free speech and expression. Everyone who makes this a slavery/racism issues is WAY oversimplifying it. No one denies what General Lee was, most sane people are in fact NOT racist. Defending freedom to offend is not an endorsement of its message.

What ever happened to do "don't feed the trolls"? There will probably forever be a small band of white hate idiots, there is no Jehalapeno coming to make the world perfect, so there are no bad people and we can all pet pandas. Most likely these statues would have come down in a different way, maybe moved to a museum that memorialized mistakes of America's past, who knows, maybe they would have put someone else name on them. The point is we are speeding down a dangerous road of censorship.

What about those who find people called Mohammed offensive - because it reminds them of the slave owning, serial-killing, child-raping monster?
