What good is it?
Because he wasn't good. What the fuck does he even have to do with the US anyway?

Was it really that, or was the government angry that Columbus was physically brutal to some of his own countrymen and women? I remember reading that he punished them harshly as well. Like you implied, Europeans at that time were not that sympathetic to indigenous people anyway.
He once cut off a crew member tongue because Columbus was convinced Cuba was more then an island

Too many Americans never learned to feel shame. I see this every day at work.

Columbus was awful but the idea that he was uniquely awful by the standards of Spanish colonizers needs to stop. Plenty of horrible administrator's crimes get swept under the rug just because Columbus is famous.

Because no other Spanish colonizer has a national US holiday named after them or tons of statues. You don't really see Hernn Corts statues or holidays in the US for example.

I just want to point out that Rocky Balbao became famous for beating up two black men and then letting one of the die.

We pretty much need to dump all statues of everybody because the past was nothing but sexists, racists, genocidal maniacs, and slave owners.
