You joke, but I wouldn't be shocked to see a movement soon to stop LSU from being referred to as the Fighting Tigers


I have said this before- but if they are literally exhuming Confederate generals and pulling down Lee Circle, "Fightin Tigers" is easy pickings.

I wouldnt be surprised if they start going after museums next- the Confederate Museum is literally right next to Lee Circle.

I'm fairly certain that statue has been their your entire time as mayor Mitch, why the sudden urgency? fricking grand standing pieces of shite. I'd be willing to hear someone who is genuinely offended by the statue, but not this disingenuous crap.




Well said.

What amazes me is all of those people represented by the statues have a direct connection to New Orleans.

Lee - Louisiana tigers regiment
Beauregard - hometown
Davis - died here (private home uptown),funeral was held here, originally buried here (Metairie Cemetery).

Why remove them? It's too much I guess to ask these assholes to have a knowledge of history over 20 years ago. Maybe they should just put them in Metairie Cemetery.

What should be put in place of Lee Statue is a coffin to symbolize the real status of the current New Orleans.

If Lee Circle is a nuisance, then maybe the office of the Mayor of NO, the City Council Chamber, the State Capitol in BR, the US Capitol Building and the White House are also nuisances and need to be cleared out and their inhabitants placed in some obscure museum.

First off, frick Wynton Marsalis for even bringing this up and pressuring the mayor and frick the mayor for being a douche.

Wait what?

My man Wynton was behind this ? I know I owned 9 of his albums for a reason


Left up to Wynton it would be Armstrong or Bechet Circle.

But there is already Armstrong Airport & Park

If you want to see the true picture of that shite-hole called New Orleans, go to nola.com and click on the link summarizing the council meeting. The comments are very telling about the true agenda of people of a certain ethnicity.

Maybe that arse should focus on important issues like rampant crime, over 100 murders this year and counting

I can't believe at one time I did like Landieu . I should have known better than to trust anyone with beady eyes like his. Does the pos realize who pays his salary? He sure would have a big cut in pay when the whites get enough and decide to leave taking their money with them.
