Post by: Wingnut on September 03, 2017, 11:35:07 pm

Radio host and "Saturday Night Live" alum Joe Piscopo fired back at those who see New York's Christopher Columbus statue as a symbol of oppression and want it taken down.
Piscopo, a Passaic, N.J. native who often played fellow Italian-American New Jerseyan Frank Sinatra on "SNL", said he and many people he knows are "proud Italian-Americans."
He recalled how his grandparents came over from Italy and instilled in him a love for their new country.
"This is America. Learn it, live it," he said. "They worked so hard - they've been prejudiced against."
