The point of a Christopher Columbus statue is not all the bad things he did to the Arawaks. The point of a Christopher Columbus statue is we are glad that western civilization came to the western hemisphere. I kind of agree with that principle. I think it is a good thing that western civilization came to the western hemisphere. And, yes, there was a lot of brutality, and, yes, there was a lot of cruelty, and we should talk about all those things. But this notion that the only cruelty that has ever existed in human history came at the behest of western civilization, that everything was a rousseauian paradise before Christopher Columbus came, that Christopher Columbus doesn't deserve a statue in specific, that we should either make the argument that everybody was a product of their time, and therefore no one deserves a statue. Recognize that when there's a statue of Christopher Columbus, we are not honoring how he treated the Arawaks. No one ever thought that we put up a statue to Christopher Columbus because he was really sweet to the natives on the other end of that. Right? Nobody's.
