So this happened last night:
>A 225-year-old monument to Christopher Columbus was damaged by a vandal who took a sledge hammer to the obelisk in Baltimore.
>believed to be the first one erected to the Italian explorer in America
>A video posted to YouTube on Monday by a user named “Popular Resistance” shows a man striking the base of the monument near Herring Run Park repeatedly with a sledgehammer. Another person holds a sign that reads: “Racism, tear it down.” Another sign is taped to the monument reading: “The future is racial and economic justice.”

We're past the point where banal anti-racist rhetoric is useful. This has nothing to do with race, this is just a street fight between the cultural barbarians who find pleasure in raping our history, and sensible people. Don't placate your teachers OP; every time a student writes a paper agreeing with these sentiments, all it does is increase the atmospheric levels of anti-Western sentiment. Don't be a fucking coward. Fight back, even if you get a failing grade.
