Before taking down the monuments they need to take down the housing projects, take down the blight, take down the shitty sewer and drainage system. Take down the crooked politicians,..........then we need to talk about monuments.


If they took care of what I mention above....this city would truly be better...

don't know. I assumed he owned slaves at some point


He might have, I really don't recall.

The city should give back all the land and monetary advances they received from him if so.

Buy back the land of his they sold and return it to the endowment.

We are undoing the wrongdoings and all.

I'm getting so tired of these fricking idiots and their "demands." Seriously. Nobody gives a frick what these inconsequential losers wanted renamed. I'm not sorry that they are all such pussies that they get their feelings hurt by names which are historical. Enough. They can all go frick themselves.

Please. Like one of the most respected institutions in the country would change it's name because a bunch of fricking losers want it to. Where did you graduate college from? The school formerly known as Tulane. fricking please.

I like your idea. They should do the same for John McDonogh. He died around 1850 and left ~$750,000 to New Orleans to build schools for poor children, white and black. Buttttttt...
He owned slaves. BAD!

Why does anybody pay attention to this group "Take 'Em Down NOLA" in the first place? Who are they but some random assholes who have an opinion and gave themselves a name?

Since they are given attention by the mayor and council, they have to be given attention.

Thursday night, Suber also expressed concerns that the work of clearing the four monuments tagged for removal will drag, citing previous threats made against contractors vying for the project. Take 'Em Down NOLA is demanding from the city a specific timeline for the monuments' removal.

So, I guess they want to be disappointed so they can complain again later?

quote:

Gavrielle Gemma, also a coordinator with Take 'Em Down NOLA, said the historic monuments embolden today's white supremacists.

"Taking down these statues is part of the overall struggle for social and economic justice now," she said.
