Leaders of the Confederacy. Slave traders. Forces of imperialism. All have fallen in the United States and beyond, their statues toppled during protests against racism. Christopher Columbus is not safe. Protesters in various cities have torn down, destroyed and defaced statues of the explorer. In West Orange, signs that say “Murderer” and “This is stolen land!" have been posted on a monument to Columbus.(Snip) After residents called for the removal of the West Orange monument, the mayor says the landmark will be taken down. The news arrived just two days after Camden got rid of its Columbus statue. “The legend of Columbus does not match

Shouldn’t all these protesting townsfolk leave their stolen land immediately?

This is going to be the kind of cowardly capitulation that finally turns Newark NJ around. That fact that the protestors confuse Columbus with stolen land means they don't understand the fact that Chris never set foot on the continental US or that various warring Native American tribes losing to European settlers, is another made up grievance all together.
No matter, the important thing is what do the communist puppets want next? Apparently State officials and the US Supreme Court have determined that ignorant, paid, terrorist mobs are now in charge of any 'law' they can dream up.

Columbus has become a symbol of the hate of the Left and their desire to oppress every dissenting point of view.

No Columbus is a symbol of how much mankind wants to explore and understand our world.
Hideous, miseducated fools are in charge. How sad for them to be so misinformed and small minded.

Did I miss something? Why on God’s green earth is a statue of Christopher Columbus a symbol of hate & oppression?? All this business of tearing down monuments is reminding me of all the stuff blown up by the Taliban when they took over in Afghanistan. Priceless pieces of history lost forever. This crap is no different.

Columbus didn't murder anyone. He merely discovered the place. And if people died from disease, that was Mother Nature. The land was not stolen. It did not belong to anyone. Even the so-called natives didn't own it and they were not necessarily the first people here anyway

Do these people understand or even know that Columbus NEVER stepped foot in North America?
And it wasn't Columbus that enslaved the "new World", it was SPAIN.

Franklin Roosevelt once stated:
"We must be strong in heart and mind; strong in our faith …
This nation requires also a toughness of moral and physical fiber ... characteristics of a free people ... a people willing to defend a way of life that is precious to them all, a people who put their faith in God."
Roosevelt stated December 29, 1940:
"Their secret emissaries are active in our own and in neighboring countries.
They seek to stir up ... dissension to cause internal strife. They try to turn capital against labor, and vice versa.
They try to reawaken long slumbering racial and religious enmities which should have no place in this country …
These trouble-breeders have but one purpose. It is to divide our people into hostile groups and to destroy our unity and shatter our will to defend ourselves …"
FDR continued:
"There are also American citizens, many of them in high places, who, unwittingly in most cases, are aiding and abetting the work of these agents.
I do not charge these American citizens with being foreign agents. But I do charge them with doing exactly the kind of work that the dictators want done in the United States."

Therein is what is happening in America and the world today as those without the love of God Our Father Creator, I AM THAT I AM, are being allowed to take over His world and His creations by traitors from within.

If I had 1/1,000th of 1% of Indian blood in me. I would be in West Orange tomorrow demanding that I be given my ancestors' land that was stolen from my family!!!!
I think the mayor's house will do sufficiently -- as long as you also throw in $250,000 for the pain and suffering you have caused my family throughout history!!!!

Ha ha! Who could have predicted this, a race to see who despises this nation the most. Fret not, the Founders are safe, at least until the Confederates and Columbus are destroyed, along with any other white people of merit.
