Are statues that offend some Native Americans the next target?

[rogue06]

It certainly wouldn't be a shock if the next PC purging of history were to go that route since during the mania to remove or destroy all monuments and statues with any ties to the Confederacy there were stories about statues of Columbus and even some for the Spanish missionaries in California who set up the missions in the late 18th to early 19th cent. have come under attack.

Any case, a news story from the Los Angeles Times

I never even heard of someone having a statue of Mckinley. I think it is a liberal conspiracy going back over a hundred years, when their Neanderliberal forebears erected the statue just so they could tear it down now.

[Sparko]

Well you offend yuuuuge segments of the tweb population. Maybe we should remove you?

[Teallaura]

Passed in his first term, though.

[rogue06]

Shouldn’t all statues that offend entire segments of the population be removed?

Hmmm.

Maybe you're on to something after all....










Or maybe you can now see just where such an asinine idea like that would lead us.

So the concept was approved by Congress while he was POTUS. But was carried out and horribly administered a few years after his death. Yeah, let's blame him.

People looking for grievances will never be satisfied. They might just have to work a little harder to find something to protest.

Maybe we can level the mountain named after him.

Why not, Columbus was an evil inhumane monster. If you were German would you put up statues honoring Hitler?
