"But if we remove statues of Colombus, we won't know our history!" You think Colombus discovered America. You already don't know your history.

@Driver2 the man America is named after. Amerigo Vespucci

@StrawberryMilkshake they are torn down by people who want to erase facts and tell you what to think
Think before you tear them down .

@Driver2 they’re torn down by people who don’t wish to symbolise horrible people. There’s a way to preserve history and teach about these people. Statues are not the way

@StrawberryMilkshake ^^This!

@Driver2 "erase facts and tell you what to think"

Weird that what you learned in school is right but what someone else learned in school is wrong.

You're literally falling victim to what you're complaining about.

@whoami1993 Exactly. Statues of people like that don't symbolise the current values of the people who live today, and I wouldn't want to look at that every day if I lived there.

Everyone is horrible in one way or other. Even our presidents are horrible. @whoami1993
