**** AN ATTACK ON AMERICA HISTORY or AMERICA RACISM ****

Early this morning YPD responded to a vandalism call at the above address: The Statue of Christopher Columbus was Decapitated and head smashed.
Was this a simple act of vandalism or an Attack on American History or America Racism. Some folks may argue in favor of attack on History and other on attack on Racism.
Where do you stand?
If someone was to destroy a statue of Adolf Hitler in Germany: Would we call that an attack on Germany History of an Attack on Nazi.
