I this it's stupid to destroy any monument. Yes these people did terrible things as well as good things and should be remembered for both. Destroying monuments for them out of hatred is wrong. It changes nothing. If anything it will just provoke a response.

Shifting goalposts. The guy in the video believes Columbus brought all that the America when he factually did not.

He didn't even take down the statue. He just broke the front of it.

Columbus is pretty much the only historical figure that's taught to children that can't actually be taught about in any sort of detail whatsoever.

Teacher: "Christopher Columbus was great man, being one of the first to discover the Americas."
Classroom: "Well who was the first? How come that person doesn't have a holiday?
Teacher: "Well, umm... He did a lot of interesting things once he got to the new world!"
Classroom: "Like what?"
Teacher: "Well, he umm... he found a lot of gold."
Classroom: "So he's celebrated for being discovery adjacent and finding gold? Where did he get the gold from?"
Teacher: "He also has 3 big ships!"

Yeah, teaching about Columbus is really dishonest when the teacher doesn't actually know anything about him.

I don't remember any teacher of mine ever glossing over the bad things he did. Were you homeschooled or something?

There is no deny that he did some things, but nobody is really sure if it's history or myth. Look up Black Legend. Other imperial powers were envious of Spain and smeared Columbus to gain favor with American Indians and other natives.

Nobody knows for sure what is fact and what is fiction. We all know that the Brits and the French were no saints and they committed some terrible crimes over the last 500 years. They intentionally used propaganda to make Columbus look bad and it's hard to distinguish fiction and non-fiction.

It's hard to believe that 1500 committed genocide against millions. It's easier to believe that millions died because their immune system was not equip to deal with smallpox and other diseases.

I can't imagine why people would defend Columbus. He literally got lucky. People knew the world was round for fucking forever. The only reason to sail around it to reach China is... none. They had no reason to believe there was a whole continent in between China and Europe, they knew how big the globe was. If it was full of water, Columbus would've been killed from mutiny long long before he actually reached China. Europeans laughed at him because Columbus couldn't realize that the idea of going all the way around for China was downright fucking stupid. Because Columbus was the uneducated one who didn't know the circumference of the Earth
