In 5 years we will hear that Columbus was a fan of shooting natives out of ships' cannons. We must know our history for better or worse.

It more sounded like they hid the truth from us.....all those F-ing degrees those teachers in the past obtained was just to keep us in darkness and feed us false education.
I say rip that F-ing statue down and burn all books of that Columbus guy. He is a Major F up in history.

How taking down a statue going to improve the life of Afro-trinis especially those in poor communities who suffer with drugs, crime, family breakdown, joblessness and a cycle of welfare? If that not hotting yuh head but Columbus statue is, something wrong.
Ok so you remove the statue, now what?
Rename colonial street names? ok cool now what?
Remove Columbus statue down Cedros too? ok now what?
Beg Government for a handout every Emancipation as we did for the past few decades. ok what else?
Talk about what the white man do we. Ok most of us know that and fedup of that talk every year. What else?
Buy this cd or dvd so you will have african knowledge cause we were kings and queens before the white man take everything from we. Sounds good, what else?
With this knowledge we know now that the white man as the victors passed down a different history through the classrooms, and that is what Columbus represents... we need to take down his statue.
