I live in San Francisco, and we have perhaps the largest Christopher Colombus statue in the world.

Today it was doused in Red Paint and the base spray painted with the message of: "tear down all monuments of genocide, and kill all colonizers"

So, my city is the only city to officially rename the day "indigenous peoples day" and honestly I don't give a shit. The kids who protest these things are usually rich applied white kids with nothing better to do. When I'm living paycheck to paycheck struggling to pay rent and feed/cloth myself each month then I don't really give a shit what they do with Colombus Day. But, the irony isn't lost on me.

"Kill all colonizers."

So like put a gun to your head and pull the trigger already. Seriously, this shit is dumb. There are no colonizers anymore...this isn't the fucking 1400's. On top of that, if America was not colonized then the fucking Mayans would still be sacrificing women and children stop pyramids, and the Native Americans would be scalping eachother.

Fuck, I barely paid attention in history class but the Mayans/Aztec chapters were interesting as fuck because they were all about ripping eachothers hearts out. Heck in the years that the Spainards were monitoring the indigenous peoples of Central Americans they witnessed about 200 sacrifices a day...it was like how we slaughter farm animals. They reckon they witnessed roughly 84 thousand human sacrifices before they finally decided just to get rid of em.

Should we celebrate genocide and racism? Nope.

Should we go out of our way to judge our ancestors based upon present day moral? Nope.

Should we kill all colonizers? Sure, why not...

...the only problem is that the only colonizers that currently exists are indigenous peoples...and if you meant let's just kill all the modern descendants of colonizers...well...that's called human genocide. Which I suppose is ok so far as the apes don't eventually evolve to be advanced enough to create a monument to celebrate the death of humanity XD

Columbus was a piece of shit. He shouldn't be celebrated. Just because he accidentally found this land for Europeans doesn't mean we need to celebrate a mass murderer lol.

That'd be like if Germans were like hey Hitler got us out of the depression and hole the treaty of Versailles and WW1 left Germany in so let's have Hitler day. Who cares about all those people he killed.

this. though defacing the statue is only making work for the people who have to clean up the mess >< it's punishing the worker then again it's giving him hours because winter's fucking coming.

Columbus wasnt a refugee. Granted, later North American colonists essentially were.

Why do we worship people that genocided the native americans?


I don't worship anyone. But nearly every single historical figure is responsible for some sort of evil.

You just can't hold the past responsible by the moral standards of current times. Hell, most of our grandparents supported this shit:

But he didnt really do anything notably good. He was actively an asshole, it seems. What did he do to deserve being propped up? He wasnt even the one who first saw land, he just lied and said he was because he didnt want to pay the reward he had promised his crew.

I mean I don't give a shit at all. I'm more annoyed that there are people who do give a shit. I am annoyed at the "give-a-shitters"

Maybe. I care that people care about this rather than more important things like helping the homeless, affordable housing and healthcare, as well as like I don't know...anti-bullying or something.

In my city, we had a bunch of rich kids protest in the streets about banning plastic straws. The same kids were also upset they had to look at homeless people which they consider pests.

..ugh.

This is what happens when you don't have a relationship, a job, or any sort of responsibility whatsoever. Your lack of a productive schedule opens you up to do a plethora of pathetic childish shit. ('-' )
