In reply to: Admin Building Columbus murals to be covered. posted by John88

Let’s remove any symbol of America anywhere. Hell, the very name America is offensive in suggesting Amerigo Vespucci “discovered” the “New World.” And it wasn’t just Columbus who devastated the native populations. And we were the first country to use a nuclear weapon.

Then again, we should also remove any murals/symbols/names of buildings, etc., celebrating any Native American tribe that committed atrocities against other tribes to build and expand their cultures. That would, of course, be most of them.

We should immediately work on removing anything that celebrates Chinese culture. Lord knows how much of their success was built around war and destruction of other cultures, to say nothing of their policies that have promoted abortion, hostility to religion, etc.

Bottom line, removing a mural celebrating the killing of natives is one thing. Removing references to Columbus because some people were hurt by his accomplishments opens up a big can of worms.

Jenkins said that ND should remove “any symbol of America”?

Are you worried that he will lower the flag on South quad?

Give me a break.

You are overreacting

Perhaps you could read what I wrote....

If you don’t understand what I wrote, which you obviously don’t, perhaps ask a question rather than just post “oh boy” and then your own misinterpretation. I was addressing the rationale used by Jenkins. Read it, and then reread my post.

I read it very carefuly. I think you can do better. *

An even stronger response the second time. *
