Old Cristoforo Colombo was a slave trader and a thief. We do not need to celebrate him. If we want to honor an Italian, why not Leonardo DaVinci or Michelangelo or Guiseppe Verdi instead?
Excuse me, I didn't know this was a white conservative country. But why should white conservatives be criticized over a past they played no role in anyway? It would be silly to assume that all the early settlers were conservatives anyway.
I think conservatives can't handle any sort of criticism of themselves, their country, their race, etc., and blame their negative feelings on the person speaking. They're in this thread defending a baby killer.
Guess what? All those people are friggin dead! Columbus and the rest that followed wiped them off the face of the planet, enslaved them, butchered, raped, infected them, eradicating them like rats. Too friggin bad! you can't do a thing about it can you? Neither can I but I tell you what I'd much rather live in the world Columbus helped create than anywhere else!
Don't you think that 77 years of celebrating the ethic cleansing that occurred here, in the interest of establishing the states that eventually became our nation, is enough? Or is your point that ethnic cleansing is a good thing, as long as it clears the way for the ethnicities you like to prevail? Or are you in the camp that refuses to admit the truth, and thereby deny that what happened here was indeed systematic forced removal of the pre-Columbian nations from these territories with the intent of creating territories inhabited by people of mostly European extraction, and of mostly Christian persuasion?
Fact is the Europeans come over here and many were Christian.. soooo...you believe they removed by force others that were here?? I don't think so..
Giannini was a pretty cool dude - he made banks accessible to all people.
How about an Italian-American?
We can celebrate John Gotti, who held an annual community Fourth of July celebration in Queens while he was a capo in and boss of the Gambino Family.
John Gotti is no different than our government today..don't mess with the government especially when a democrat is in charge..Big Guns JaNut Reno comes to mind.. televised and for all Americans to see.. makes one realize how Hitler got away with it.. they followed his instructions and killed many Jews and some Christians ..but hey, what is a few dead bodies of women and children at Waco..

Harrier always thought that the Democratic connection with organized crime was rather telling.
Shhhhhh! Don't burst his bubble. Leftists have been taught otherwise. They have been brainwashed. They really think that there were "native Americans."
And you've been brainwashed into believing that there is an actual two party system.
You honestly believe the people, that you think you vote for, actually care about you?
