Democrats Hate America Part 36: Chicago Mayor Replaces Columbus Statue

[Baller234]

A park statue of Christopher Columbus was removed in 2020 due to woke protests and now the mayor is putting up a new statue and new art gallery in it's place to better reflect the "diversity" of Chicago.

Despite my exuberance, I feel for OP, I hope he manages to hold it together with this Columbus statue no longer being in this random Chicago park.

If a statue of Biggie Smalls was removed from a Brooklyn park and replaced with a statue of Frank Sinatra there would be violent riots.

:oldlol: :oldlol: :oldlol:

OP is angry 24/7. How is that possible.

We shouldn't be upset that you and your sad little ilk are gleeful about desecrating the history of our country?

[Baller234]

Well Frank Sinatra isn’t from Brooklyn.

And Columbus wasn't from Chicago.

It really is time for a political movement that focuses on shit that actually matters. The dumb tribal nonsense needs to be done with already. Unless you live in that area, who gives a f@#k what is in that park. You'll likely never see any statue there. Let THEM decide what goes there.

This is woke nothing-burger stuff. Which is what most of woke issues are. Things that don't really matter.

If this is just woke nonsense that doesn't matter, why remove the statue in the first place?

You and Bill Gates are very peculiar folk. You insist it's just meaningless nonsense but it's your team responsible for bringing it to the table in the first place.

By your own logic then since it's just meaningless nonsense, the statue should have stayed.

Again, let THEM decide what goes there. You'll never walk around in that park, so no need to spend your day whining about it.

I am letting them decide what goes there. It's not like I called for Mayor Johnson to be arrested. I'm simply calling him out for his anti-American sentiment.

Am I allowed to do that? Am I allowed to notice that you guys hate America with a seething passion and wish to desecrate our history?

[ShawkFactory]

And Columbus wasn't from Chicago.

Well yea it would make sense considering you're talking of replacing a statue of someone who is from Brooklyn, and is beloved there..

Especially when trying to make a comparison to a Christopher Columbus statue. The analogy just didn't really work at all. Not that big of a deal though :lol

Hey dipshit, by that same token Columbus represents every American. Including those that live in Chicago.

Imagine taking time out of your day to stalk all my posts, all while desperately seeking validation from other users, without even bothering to engage with the discussion being had. A true internet cavetroll in every sense of the word.

At least OTC tries to engage with the discussion. He has a rice crispy for a brain and doesn't understand basic things, and is stubborn to a fault, and will cut his nose to spite his face... but at least he pretends to debate his point. Usually followed by him cowering in shame.

But you are just in full on sweaty mode and it's really sad to see.

[Baller234]

Americans was a term we coined genius, they didn't call themselves that.

I don't think the native people would appreciate you labeling them using your racist colonial expressions.

Not as much as your life was ruined by this thread apparently. I guess you're deeply bothered over the fact that I dared to criticize the mayor of Chicago. You've posted in this thread numerous times now.

Why do you care if I criticize the mayor of Chicago over his woke nonsense? Why do you get so triggered?

He’s seething that people don’t want to celebrate the slaughter of innocent brown people anymore. Woke!

[Baller234]

Lol Columbus did not stumble upon some perfect utopia. The brown people that were native to this land were slaughtering each other and stealing each other's land just the same. The europeans were simply smarter and more advanced and were better at killing. Maybe you should understand actual history instead of soaking up Disney movies.

If it were not for Columbus, then we wouldn't have this beautiful country and you would not have the amazing life that you have.

[RRR3]

Bawler loves killing brown people. He’s addicted to it. That’s why he supports Trump and fascism. Probably posts in his KKK robes.

[Baller234]

3tard why aren't you grateful for all the wonderful things in your life? Of all the places on Earth you could have been born you were born in the place that gives you the most freedom to pursue your own happiness.

Seeing as America is the most free and prosperous nation in the history of this planet, it is safe to say that if you cannot find happiness living in modern day America then you would not have found happiness at any point or anywhere throughout human history. People from around the world risk their lives coming here all so they can have access to the luxuries and privileges you were handed at birth.

America is your home. If you're not happy with your home, you are welcome to leave and find a better home. One where you won't feel so guilty about living there. I don't think you'll be able to find many countries that weren't built on violence or conquest though. If you can find this peaceful utopia where everyone is thriving and there is no history of war or conflict I would love for you to send me a postcard.

If you hate America, all you're really doing is admitting you hate your own life.

You need God, buddy.

How do you discover somewhere where there is already millions of inhabitants? And if you go by, well the land hasn't been discovered until white men discover it, Columbus wasn't even the first, vikings beat him by hundreds of years only difference is they didn't care to conquer, enslave and commit genocide and claim that land is rightfully there's like complete hypocrites. The US joining the rest of America is finally putting to rest the big Columbus lie.

I think you need to do more research on the Vikings primo. They were known for showing up stealth in long boats in the middle of the night and just murdering, pillaging, and raping coastal towns all over the world. They even made it to India going down and around the southern coast of Africa. Not friendly good people bro. They were literally murderous pirates. That was their trabajo.

That's because the Vikings discovered Greenland and thought it was a huge PoS. They did discover Iceland and a few did settle there, though.

I think Columbus's claim to fame is that his discovery of the Caribbeans lead to new cartography that lead more Europeans there which ultimately resulted in settling in America eventually. How much 'credit' you want to give him is pretty speculative though, because he was given ships by Spain to find new spice trade routes to the Indies and thought he had landed there when he saw the natives. Yikes, imagine being literally the other side of the fvcking planet in terms of being off, talk about failing up.

He's not interested in doing research. He's not interested in getting to the truth. He's not interested in having an honest discussion or acknowledging the nuances of the subject at hand.

These threads are all the same:

- The radical looney lefties say something totally ridiculous or false
- They are provided with facts that totally contradict and undermine their argument
- They ignore the post and move onto some other ridiculous talking point

TheMan is not going to re-evaluate his position as a result of you correcting him, nor is he going to try and set the record straight with any type of factual counterargument of his own. He's just going to keep sword fighting with his boyfriend 3tard as they quote each other's posts and pretend they're winning the argument.

I just hope and pray they live to see the light before the Stage 4 TDS becomes fatal.

I know that, they just didn't do that in the Americas, the Spanish, Portuguese, English and French did that.

Yea I don't really know about that. I'm never going to discount Columbus's contributions to western globalization, ills that came with it aside for arguments sake.

But to say that Christopher Columbus "represents" every American in the same way that Big represents his neighborhood, where he literally grew up and knew people personally who took pride in him being from their hood, in Brooklyn is just a wild take. While being a founding piece in the domino effect that eventually (and somewhat indirectly) led to the United States, nothing really about his ideals and values embody what this country is about.

Just not the same thing at all. And I know it may seem like I'm being pedantic here but I feel like making an accurate analogy shows understanding, and that wasn't the case in this instance.

Holy shit, talk about a wild take. Good god.

Statues of Columbus were erected mainly to celebrate his role as a symbol and to honor Italian-American heritage. His bravery led to the creation of the modern western world. Anyone who is alive and is grateful to live in this country owes some sort of gratitude to Christopher Columbus.

As someone who was actually born and raised in Brooklyn, I regret to inform you that not everyone listens to Biggie or listens to rap music. He is not some holy iconic figure who carries significant meaning to each and every brooklynite. He is simply a popular rapper and entertainer from Brooklyn. He is no more important of a figure than Jerry Seinfeld or anyone else. Rest assured the people of Brooklyn owe FAR more to Christopher Columbus than they do Notorious B.I.G. :oldlol:

It should also be noted that while Big was a great rapper, he was also a criminal and a crack dealer. So he wasn't some perfect person either. Yet I don't see anyone campaigning to remove his statues or his murals. Kind of odd if you ask me. Almost as if there's a radical double standard.

He didn’t discover or settle American proper, and he was a ruthless dick.
