Can you explain your position that a statue of Columbus somehow affects anything on the list above and how its removal will change it?All of the things on your list are directly or indirectly influenced by racism, so the answer is yes.Illiteracy rate?
Basic math proficiency?
Fatherless households?
Gang violence?
Police brutality?
Overwhelming drug abuse?
Under performing schools?
Black drop out rate?
Inner city crime rates?
Black on black murders?
Cultural degradation?
If not, what is the point?
Columbus was a very bad guy.

I'm curious, have you called for spanish missions and conquistador statues to be torn down? Why or why not?
Those Spaniards were some raping murderous motherF’ers.
They were some slave owning crazies and they destroyed the Aztec empire.
