Americans pretending to be Italian and crackers pretending to be from Palestine unite to pretend to be oppressed
Celebrating Christopher Columbus to honor Italian American heritage is like celebrating Hitler to honor German American heritage.
hey don't give them ideas
Everything the chuds and libs are doing is making Zohran more popular, in the same identical but mirror fashion to Trump 2015/2016
The more they clutch their pearls and engage in these ACTUAL examples of hyper sensitive "political correctness", the more Zohran's image is elevated and the more apathetic voters he attracts
*thousands of people dined
lmao scrolling through the poster until you're met with israeli flags instead of italian ones is so goofy. not even hiding it
Reminder: The Italian American Civil Rights League has extensive ties to La Cosa Nostra (The Mafia) in particular the Colombo family.
The Colombo family sounds cool. I like the little detective guy with the cigar who always talks about his wife's hobbies
Not THAT Colombo! The bad one, Joe Colombo who got whacked in 1970! 🤣
Columbo vs Columbo would make for a great movie
we will not be mocked
yea I bet this will help with that lol
The Italian-American Civil Rights League (IACRL) was originally formed as a political advocacy group created in New York City in April 1970. William Santoro, a defense attorney that represented many Colombo crime family figures, was responsible for the legal work that incorporated the league. Its stated goal was to combat pejorative stereotypes about Italian-Americans, but in actuality, it operated as a public relations firm to deny the existence of the American Mafia and improve the image of mobsters. In 2023, a new organization formed with the same name, but with no connection to the original IACRL. [1] [2]
Eeyyy I'm protestin here!
From their website:
Despite our contributions; the very culture we celebrate and our proud heritage is under attack. The Italian-American Civil Rights League (“IACRL”) celebrates our culture, while vehemently defending our history. This means celebrating Christopher Columbus, who discovered America and vowing to oppose those seeking to destroy his name and reputation.
Was it really Columbus that was there first or is it someone else that had their culture erased and their history rewritten? 
lol
- he was working for the spaniards
- italy didn't even exist as a country
- there were a bunch of people already living there
- he wasn't even the first euro to "discover" it, the vikings got there like 500 years before
italian-am*rican hero
Americans have no conception of anything outside of the modern nation-state framework. How else are they supposed to do their blood quantum calculations to figure out that they’re 2.5% Italian 4.2% French 6.8% Irish and 0.2% Cherokee Princess?
he wasn't even the first euro to "discover" it, the vikings got there like 500 years before
The anime Vinland Saga is a hate crime against Italians
Columbus sure didn’t discover america but he sure was the first Italian to be celebrated by WASPs

This really burns my cannolli
hahahahahahaha nobody gives a fuck about hating Italians, it's not the 1890s.
Crackers will find any conceivable way to pretend to be oppressed. They are also obsessed with their blood quantum ancestry calculations so they can pretend to be from whatever flavor of European nation-state is trendy right now
You dislike Columbus because he's Italian, right?
Mind if I spread this and let people know of the organizers Mob ties?
Spread it far and wide
i genuinely fail to understand the columbus crew, like zionists get stolen land out of blatantly supporting genocide, idk wtf anyone gains from dying on a hill for that one guy who was so shit at navigating he thought he was on a different continent and then proceeded to kill and enslave thousands and kickstart the largest genocide in human history. i guess a political bloc for the organizers?
he was a fuckwit who got extremely lucky once, landed in the caribbean, wrote down that the people he found there were the nicest, most hospitable and friendly people he'd ever met, and then immediately started enslaving and murdering them.
truly someone to look up to.
Columbus was diefied for the sake of italian-american pride. Change Columbus day to “Italian-American day” and I bet they stop caring about him in less than 10 years.

If anyone needed any evidence that protests are useless, keep in mind this kind of thing happens just about every weekend.
Furiously pressing my thumb against my pointer and middle finger.
"You are out there stroking your d**k over the Columbus statue, I am trying to keep Chicago police officers from being shot and you are trying to get them shot," ~~Lightfoot~~Mamdani allegedly said on a Zoom call, according to Smyrniotis' complaint. "My d**k is bigger than yours and the Italians, I have the biggest d**k in Chicago."
I like the big number 1 on their logo. Idk what it means but I presume they think they're numba one ova here in needing civil rights
"It's anti-Italian discrimination"
scowls like a grumpy dog
Is it wrong of me to want to be a counterprotester for this?
