Columbus landed in the Bahamas nearly 300 years before the United States was a country. Why people care about this guy is beyond me.

What if I told you that it was possible to store things ::gasp:: outside?

And that sometimes things get stored on their side so a gust of wind can’t blow them over and damage them.

Columbus was a clown. Baraka is a clown. The Communist movement on this sub and in this city are clowns.

That being said, what Baraka cares about is virtue signaling to keep people's minds off the fact that he is an ineffective Mayor.

The reference to pre-1967 s in reference to Elizabeth Del tufo's correct assessment the mayor has no respect for anything historical that pre- dates the 1967 riot and black majority.

Well the Columbus homes were built for Italians displaced by urban renewal. The idea what's the Italians to live there and the wealthy Irish and Jewish (both groups by now financially successful and included in America's elastic category) would live in the fancy Colonnade Towers. When the federal government and the City took and demolished Little Italy with eminent domain claiming the area was dilapidated and in need of Redevelopment. Black and Italian neighborhoods were targeted for urban renewal because Italians were not considered white at the time. As Italians began moving into Belleville Nutley and other places nationally they became openly racist against black people as a way of asserting their whiteness. This culminated through the rights when the Italians form the human chain to keep blacks from the north Ward with Tony Imperiale becoming notorious figure. It would also kill ed the original Kawaida Towers

Of course that's not how it turned out. Thanks to the GI Bill all the youngsters of Little Italy wound up moving to the suburbs and Columbus homes /7th ave Lower Broadway became home to poor blacks and Puerto Ricans.
