When black crime stays the same or increases.
When black graduation rates stay the same or drop.
When black income levels stay the same or drop.
When black poverty levels stay the same or increase.
When the numbers of black children born out of wedlock raised by momma and grandma stay the same or increase etc.

But hey we erased history so that's great.

Was the statue functioning as a reminder that the south was racist, wrong, backwards, and got their butts whipped?

No we didn't.

Was history of Saddam Hussein erased when his statue was torn down? No. Stalin? No.

This is a dumb argument.

We won't be able to celebrate our proud Civil War history.... You know, the one in which the Union occupied New Orleans mostly without a fight and stayed for the rest of the war. The one in which more Union troops died at the hands of New Orleans whores than at the hands of the proud men of the Cahn-feder-ah-cee.

Oh, what will we DO now Rhett Butler? How will we go on??

The was never the point of taking the statues down. Quit being ridiculous and realize that if you were a black person you may see the statues different than you yourself do.

Also, I am genuinely curious if you even live in the city?

I get all that, but the question is what will be the response from Nawlins regarding the statues if/when tourism declines.

So, what are they doing with the statues now? Surely they won't destroy them.

The response from the rest of the state needs to be a boycott of New Orleans.

Have they taken down Lee's statue yet?

Who are they replacing it with, DTL?

Man, You know the deal...Chocolate City, and nothing else matters. I'm waiting for Lee Circle to be renamed Ernest " Dutch" Morial Circle, or better yet Where's My Kick- Back Circle.
