Should New Orleans statues be moved to Old State Capital grounds?

They should go back on the pedestals they were taken off of.

I think the old state Capitol should be torn down.

It's gotta go.

Put the statues at workplaces, that way the only folks who will have to see them are workers...

I keed, I keed...

Send em to Camp Beauregard.

If we had a GOP governor this would be going so differently. There's a reason Mitch waited until Edwards won until he dreamed up this scheme.

It's Piyush's fault - if he would just managed to be a 2/10 instead of the 1/10 that he was for 8 years we'd have avoided a Dem Governor.

Landrieu COULD have made this really easy and "inclusive" if he had wanted to. He could have proposed a "War Memorial Gardens" in one of the city's parks, City Park, somewhere or Audubon Park. Put them all together with curated displays to explain and educate from BOTH sides of the racial divide, which is what he wants, a racial divide.

Some monument defenders might even have gone along with this. But no, he gets Malcolm Suber, and the incites racial acrimony to that he has some Democrat/Liberal/Leftist identity politics street credibility. He could have walked all this back ANYTIME but chose not to do so, likely in hopes of a position in a Clinton administration, and now, being mentioned in his own right. Instead he doubles down and works faster to spite his opponents.

It also already has a Monument of Confederate General and wartime Governor Henry Allen.

Great idea. Also think La should remove the LSP contingent from that steaming pile of shite known as New Orleans. Let those corrupt assholes deal with the crime that is the fruit of their labors.

Jefferson Parish or a benefactor should buy them and erect them in JP. It would be better than some of the crap they call art on medians they have now.
