Christopher Columbus statues coming down all over USA and Columbus Ohio talking about a name change, pure madness

That is mad

So will CC be erased from history? Who will they say discovered America now?

The Vikings ?

Brendan was the first.

More correctly the places didn't need to be discovered as they were already occupied and discovered.

I don't see what Columbus did wrong. All he did was discover the place. The wrongs that were committed against the natives and blacks etc were done by those who came after him.

Jesus dont mention the wongs.

Its terrible given that all historical knowledge hinges on a few statues.

You might want to look into that again.

Sure everyone knows that St Brendan 'discovered' America. Colombus came to Ireland to research his trip. Since St Brendan likely didn't kill anyone or enslave them then his statue should go there.

What nation has not been offended? What community has not been offend or culture or skin colour? This could go on for a long time!

America might not have been discovered, but setting up travel to there from Europe was an important achievement.
