re: Are we ignoring the monuments?

The monument removal is nothing more than a distraction, symbolism over substance. New Orleans is loaded with crime and poverty. They can fix it, which will piss off a lot of people, or they can whine about monuments and remove them.

The KKK couldn't come up with a better plan that the local black "leaders." "Let's keep the low income population fixated on symbols so they don't demand that we do something about our terrible schools, high crime, etc."
