This is all about revisionist history. America is the top culture of the modern era. These statues are there celebrate the birth of a new era. It had a rough start, but it leveled out and then started to rise. The World Wars brought out the best and change the role of America in the new era.
If you know anything about the history of Columbus, he was originally seeking a new trade route to India. He, among others, believed that the world was round and not flat. So he assumed if you sailed due west, one could sail around the world, and reach India from the other side.
Columbus symbolizes the Original American pioneer spirit. He symbolized someone who would take a calculated risk, to follow his vision and dreams, even if the consensus had it backwards and resisted the changed needed; old world ways. The goal of removing the statue, by the left, is to regress culture backwards were big consensus forces conformity, and takes away the pioneer spirit with over regulations. They are over regulating art through censor and violation of freedom of speech. This is the old way.
Those who wish to revise American history, appear to be overlooking the fact that a woman, called Queen Isabella of Spain, made all the woes of the Native Americans possible, by financing Columbus. Columbus would have been stopped in his tracks without Isabella. She was his last hope. Isabella was an Hispanic woman. Behind every great man was a woman. The woman behind all this strategy for the Indians is allowed to escape the same scrutiny as the pioneer Columbus. Below is a statue of Isabella and Columbus that is on display in the Capital Building at Sacramento California. Talk about two faced history revision, located at hypocrisy central. I think it is a nice world of art, which is how sane people see it.
If we are going to punish the past, by the PC standards of the present, why is there still a thing called the Democrat party. The Democrat party was the party of slavery. It was the party of Jim Crow laws, segregation, KKK, etc. It was the party that tried to divide America, in a Civil war, which they now also try to do.
The Nazis, when they rose to power, based their legal strategy for making the Jews second class citizens, on the legal foundation created by the Democrats against the blacks. The Democrats taught the Nazi how to discriminate, by the legal book. The Democrat party even received an honor from Hitler. personally delivered by his propaganda minister. We still have a Nazi party, but it has no real power due to it shady past and its evil use of power. Why is the evil Democrat party; based on judging the past by the present, still have so much power? This is where PC needs to focus its attention.
Why are we not getting rid of this evil memory called the Democrat party? Its shady past means it should not have power, any more than we would want the Nazis to be a major political force, who can control government. They use the same tools. If we are going to punish the past using the standards of the present, why the hypocrisy?
The same two faced party is in charge of this new wave of hypocrisy. What is called white guilt is a revisionist history way of disguising white Democrat guilt. That was 95% of the problem during the darkest times. We need to tare the blame rather that fall for a Democrat scam. The White Republicans, like Lincoln were always against the under handed ways of the Democrats. The name Democrat needs to be purged from culture, until it becomes a museum party like the modern Nazis. The Young Democrats should think of a new name to make a split from that evil past. Nothing else has to change, except that name needs to go down in infamy. When the name is said it should give the same gut reflex as Nazi. This is the price of justice.
