Everyone knew it wouldn't end with four monuments being removed. In addition to removing the statue of Andrew Jackson, Take Em Down NOLA has issued a listed of statues, streets and building that have to go because they're "psychologically terrorizing".
My favorites are the last of the McDonogh schools and John McDonogh statue. Followed closely by Touro Hospital and Tulane University. Good luck with that.
Take 'Em Down NOLA list of targets for removal or renaming:
Street names
Palmer Avenue
Calhoun Street
General Taylor Street
Claiborne Avenue
Galvez Street
Jefferson Davis Parkway (Mayor Mitch Landrieu has also called for Jefferson Davis Parkway to be renamed after recently retired Xavier University president Norman Francis).
General Ogden Street
Ulloa Street
Tulane Avenue
Governor Nicholls Street
Poydras Street
Forshey Street
General Early Street
Robert E. Lee Boulevard
Beauregard Avenue
Walker Street
Mouton Street
Bragg Street
Lane Street

Confederate Brig. Gen. Albert Pike monument at Tulane Avenue and Jefferson Davis Parkway.
Henry Clay at Lafayette Square.

Bienville monument at Conti and Decatur and North Peters streets.

This is why you never give into these locusts. They don't stop until everything is consumed.

Claiborne Avenue
I love unintentional humor.
The name of the street is psychologically terrorizing, yet the shite load of people I see everyday hanging out on the neutral ground under the trees sitting on overturned milk crates throwing their trash everywhere, running into traffic, and begging for money don't seem to be too bothered by it at all.

All that shite ain't happening.
The monuments were one thing. Basically renaming the city is another.
A lot of money down the drain if that happens. From letterhead to the 911 system to individual people having to change their addresses.

Yes. They are.
I'm starting my own group. Triggered Nola.
My list of demands:
Can we rename Martin Luthor King Blvd? He was a womanizer and cheated on his wife. As a loyal husband that triggers me and is infuriating. It's terrifying that I have to imagine disloyal relationships.
Also, all of the numbered streets. I didn't do well in math, so having to see something like "19th" street on my daily commute is terrifying.
Also, Lee's circle. My parents were divorced and the term circle reminds me of a ring which triggers my emotions.
Also Poydras. I stepped on a stingray in Hawaii during a luau eating poi and now I'm scared when I see the first three letter of POYdrass
Also canal. Because it has the word anal in it and that's a gay thing that I don't want to expose my children too.

So at what point do we tell these people to go frick themselves?

There never should have been a conversation. I will never understand why Mitch took this on with all the other things this city needed to focus on. Really an incredibly poor decision.

How the frick is Touro triggering?
Judah was a single Jewish guy that gave all his money to the city when he died.
If anything, a statue should be erected to him.

If they get what they want (i.e. the first statues) they become irrelevant. So they make up an even more ridiculous list, knowing it will never happen, just so they can continue to play the downtrodden racial victim card. These people literally have no life if they admit that it is their fault and not the "racist system" that is responsible for their failures.

This list actually demonstrates the absurdity of their position. Literally anything or anyone can be offensive to the wrong group. So, how do you choose? Well, you don't.
Posted on 3/24/17 at 7:29 am to White Roach
Next thing you know, they will be trying to figure out a way to justify taking down the Superdome and Smoothie King Center
Posted on 3/24/17 at 7:30 am to White Roach
They should all just leave NOLA, simple solution.

The same way John McDonogh is "bad". Touro owned slaves. That makes you evil, no matter what else you did in the public interest over the course of one's life.
