Chicago Took Down Columbus Statue
Work crews arrived early Friday to remove a Christopher Columbus statue from Chicago’s Grant Park – a week after rioters clashed with city police as they attempted to tear the statue down. Videos and still images posted on social media showed the statue draped in a cloth as a crane pulled up to dislodge it from a pedestal before driving off.

Christopher Columbus is a historical figure. Even in Brasil/Philippines, he is taught in school. What do some Americans have against him?!

It's nice to see they are really tackling the hard hitting issues that plague that city. I'm sure shootings and murders rates will immediately decrease.

I remember a specific group that was against other people thoughts and destroyed history for things they didn't agree with or like.

His "native american genocide" was just him showing up. 90% of the native population died from the common cold/flu because they didn't have chickens/pigs/cows which they could share diseases with so had no immunity. By the time the pilgrims came this had already happened.
One of the most famous quotes of his is completely wrong. And by completely wrong they attribute a quote to him where he actually said the exact opposite. It's propaganda and lies to the extreme. This quote is about how Columbus ordered his men to cut the hands and ears off of natives to punish them. When in reality he gave this punishment to Spanish settlers who treated the natives poorly.
Another quote about how he said the natives would be good slaves was actually him saying they would be good servants and in the context of the full paragraph he actually said they would be good servants to god aka good Christians. The Italian translation has the word "Christian" in it where the English translation has the word "Slave". Literally in the same spot.

I really enjoyed my summer I spent in Chicago about 5 years ago - I was literally a block away from Grant park as well. Shame to hear the city is deteriorating so quick and crime/violence is up. Seems to be the case with every large American city though, even here in Austin our murder rate is going up.
Also, is Columbus day already cancelled/racist? When will they get around to that one?

Columbus is not judged by 21st century standards. He is judged by the Golden Rule- do unto others as you would have them do unto you. The Golden Rule is considered golden not because of its value (which is great) but because it is timeless. Pure gold never rusts or tarnishes. It remains in it's original state unless you deliberately diminish it by mixing it with some other thing.
I do agree that history should be understood in its context. It is useful to know what motivated people and how they justified their actions. People aren't binary creatures that are either good or evil. Not having evil or ****ed up thoughts doesn't make someone a good person. Not acting on or, even better, not entertaining evil and ****ed up thoughts is what makes someone a good person.
We all have bad impulses and not every thought that crosses our mind comes from our own volition. Temptations abound. This is all part of understanding empathy. Columbus was a man like any other and he had many temptations.
But the Golden Rule is timeless. It applies regardless of what era of men you were born into. If you subject someone to something you yourself would take great pains to avoid you ****ed up. You broke the rule. It doesn't require 21st century thinking to understand it. Conversely, it has always been understood. That is why 21st century thinking has evolved. But people still justify their behavior. They still mix the rule with other elements, causing it to tarnish and become diminished. The problem is that, for example, if one man can justify murder every man can justify murder. It's an all or nothing condition.
This is why the world is still filled with ****ty behavior and lost souls. Whether you and I agree or disagree about tearing down a statue is moot unless we take action. The world does not belong to the dead. It belongs to the living. Colimbus had his time to make his mark. It is over. It is our time now. What are we all going to do with it?
The closer we approach the uncertainty of life's ending the more we wish to trade all of the things we have acquired in exchange for all of the things we have lost: wealth for youth, knowledge for fresh curiosity, resignation for hope. We'd trade our wisdom for new experiences, but it is wisdom that will teach us that at the end of the road the only new experience is death.

This all came about because they only found the court records in Spain in 2005. The accusations against Columbus were mostly just rumors before that. How much of it is true is an open question, there were political and financial reasons some of the colonists wanted Columbus out, but even by the standards of his own time, he was accused of being a psychopathic criminal. The Spanish stripped him of his titles and much of the money they had promised him, and there were major legal battles with his heirs when he died because the government was absolutely bent on not paying him.
The colonists at Hispaniola hated him so much that even when he resumed his voyages, they repeatedly tried to get him killed, leaving him stranded on Jamaica for a year even after he sent a canoe across to beg for help, and also refusing him safe harbor when he claimed a hurricane was coming. (Ironically, they'd also loaded all his gold and personal belongings onto the worst ship in a treasure fleet bound for Spain in an intentional bid to sink it all, and it turned out to be the only ship that survived the storm. Many of his political enemies were with the fleet and drowned at sea. For years, the colonists apparently suspected that Columbus was also a Satanic wizard who could control storms.)
Point is, by the standards of his own time, either the dude was a massively incompetent son of a bitch from the bowels of hell, or the victim of an incredible smear campaign. Spent a lot of his later life trying to convince everybody that he was actually awesome and that they just didn't get it.

The early New World was basically a playground for them to run wild, including against each other, knowing there wasn't much anybody would do about it except send letters that said "no, wait, plz stahp". Even arresting Columbus and shipping him back in chains would have been nearly impossible without the colony's cooperation.He actually wasn't that bad. Especially considering the time period. There were other Spaniards who were far far worse and everything gets blamed on Columbus even things that happened after he died and his kids died.
Nah, fukk that. I’m not doing that.
