The monuments represent more than just the people they honor. They symbolize the brutal legacy of white supremacy, racism, colonialism, and genocide we live with today.

20 thoughts on “Tearing Down White Supremacist Monuments Isn’t Empty Symbolism”
  1. both Columbus and Leopold are horrific. Columbus ushered in the genocide of something like 50 million native americans in both north and south america, and the Caribbean, as well as the colonial era which was responsible for 50-100 million more deaths. Leopold was a butcher who concentrated his genocide on central africa

  2. Christopher Columbus found a modern route to the new world and kicked off the process of what eventually became the countries of the American continent. We celebrate Columbus because he represents the dawn of anew era. It’s a shame how a bunch of no nothing Hollywood liberals decided that somehow Columbus is a bad guy. All lies,

  3. This used to be a legitimate news channel. Now it’s a radical leftist mouthpiece focused on tearing this country apart for their own personal gain and the international organizations that fund them.

  4. Today, a racist is anyone with a European background. This is why the BLM movement will fail. BLM is the epitome of reverse racism

  5. The only thing left to cancel after this are the European Americans themselves. Bad, bad war coming! European Americans and Canadians are forming protective groups and organizations to defend themselves from the coming war. You folks believe whites are going to submit to the threats and hatred being spread without fighting? I was NEVER concerned about racial threats and dangers against my family until the anti-white race riots began. Horrible race war is coming and the European-Americans will win when they are given no way out

  6. So gooood to se Columbus tumble down. EU need to be called out as well! After all all of them came from Europe.

  7. That’s right empty gestures, cause they just replace them with their new symbols and idols that no one has realized yet are just as racist

  8. The vandals should remember that this is a white majority country and who is going to win in the end. Also remember that we have everything on videotape. Vandalizing statues is a crime, especially of the great white men who built this country, and can be prosecuted.

  9. Black people around the world must get wise don't joined with any one to remove these Statues let it remain In place The villian have to expose i Andrew Jackson US President buy and sell black people he owned 161 slave, He is on the $20 dollar bill what you gonna do with your money burned it up.The Pandora Box soon open. Tangible then Reconciliation only way.

  10. Simbalisime is not enough Reparations have to be part of any discussion when it come to exploitation, and slavery removing the statue not gonna cut it ,Your historian guest didn't touch the subject ,400 years not gonna easily wipe away African enslavedment across the World, King lLeopold of Belgium 10M Africans was slaughter during during this man terror need substance money ,simbalisime not gonna cut it.

  11. As a 65 year old white man in the UK I can say that I have never even heard of the atrocities of "King Leopold" before and I fully support the removal of any "Celebrative statues" of him and his ilk.

  12. The Genesis of western supremacy — Deuteronomy 7:6
    "For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession."

  13. I deeply respect Dr Horn. He is worth listening to and learning from.
    With that said I doubt removing statues or renaming military bases will make a material real change for oppressed people. I fear people are fooled into thinking that progress is tearing down landmarks. But I understand the anger. What's the next step?

  14. Can the symbolism or statues remain so we never forget ? Or can we keep these statues if right next to them we add a statue of those who captured and sold slaves from Africa to the highest bidder?

  15. The “discovery” of America is celebrated in Spain but then Hollywood doesn’t help when they make a movie about Christopher Columbus full of outright lies.
