Italian-American leaders vow to fight for Columbus statue

Italian-American leaders vowed Tuesday to fight “like never before” to prevent the city from removing statues of Christopher Columbus, a day after a top elected official called for monuments honoring the explorer to be included in a city review.

Columbus Circle monument could be next statue to go
The leaders had assembled at Columbus Circle to protest a skit about Italian-Americans on “Saturday Night Live” earlier this year — but shifted their focus to a defense of Columbus after City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito questioned the propriety of honoring him.
“That will be a fight like never before seen. The Italian-American community will really mobilize and do anything possible to prevent that from happening,” said John Fratta, chair of the New York State Commission for Social Justice. “It is a slap in the face to the Italian-American community and we are not going to tolerate it.”
Mark-Viverito defended her position Tuesday, saying at a Harlem senior center that the 90-day review of city monuments — announced last week by Mayor de Blasio — needs to be thorough.
“[Columbus] is a controversial figure, and I know that some people may take offense to that. But for many of us who come from the Caribbean Islands, we see him as a controversial figure,” said Mark-Viverito, who was born in Puerto Rico.
Brooklyn Council member Jumaane Williams went further, saying he supports long-running efforts to remove the statue at Columbus Circle.
A number of the Italian-American leaders threatened to sue if that were to happen, and state Assemblyman Andrew Raia (R-LI) told The Post he would try to thwart any city bid to yank Columbus by passing a bill in Albany to block it.

so he discovered you?
also, by speaking to an italian, do you mean someone that is from italy and lives there? if so, i've spoken to more italians than you have, and none of them praise colon. not sure where you are getting that from. perhaps some survey that tested italians living in on the east coast
Maybe he means Italian Americans who never left the tri-state? ::shrugs::
> Democrats playing identity politics
> Italian American leaders using identity to preserve monuments
Word. That's why I'll never block the guy as much as I dislike him. You just never stop being amazed, and some of his nonsense is just hilarious like his struggle with basic math and refusal to ever admit to being wrong even in cases like that.You gotta give it to him, never ceases to amaze

The world’s largest celebration of Italian-American culture came marching through Manhattan on Monday.
The Columbus Day parade brings out Italian pride for all New Yorkers. It is now in its 72nd year, as CBS2’s Ali Bauman reported.
Dems in my state working on getting stuff removed. So I'ma let them keep doing what they're doing.
I already don't **** with the anthem and am not worried about the flag so eh.
It's crazy how identity politics works so well for white supremacy.
It was used to suppress and criminalize Italians and damn near got them banned from coming to the US. Then they granted them whiteness and it was all good.
**** wild.
The incident strained relations between the U.S. and Italy. The Italian government demanded that the lynch mob be brought to justice and reparations be paid to the dead men's families. When the U.S. declined to prosecute the mob leaders, Italy recalled its ambassador from Washington in protest. The U.S. followed suit, recalling its legation from Rome. Diplomatic relations remained at an impasse for over a year. There were rumors of war. When President Benjamin Harrison agreed to pay a $25,000 indemnity to the victims' families, Congress tried unsuccessfully to intervene, accusing him of "unconstitutional executive usurpation of Congressional powers."
as seen in da lastest polls about this stuff, dems in da minority in da issue.
once they Target more Americana figures and not easy targets like Confederates, da blowback will ensue.
U.S. government had to pay reparations to Italian families for the lynching of 11 Italians in New Orleans 1891
Liked I stated before Irish, Italian, and Polish Americans got their white pass/n_ hating pass and never looked back.
