That's getting a little ridiculous. Nobody in their sane fricking mind thinks poydras street stands for racism and white supremacy.

I wish they would take the name off of a McDonough school and see what happens when his estate reclaims the property!!!!!


They've renamed plenty of the McD schools:
24 is now Banneker
36 is Mahalia Jackson
40 was renamed to Jordan then closed after Katrina
19 is Louis Armstrong
38 is Myrtle Banks
31 is Morris Jeff
39 is Alexander

As yet, none have been "reclaimed" by his estate. Seems like you fell for an urban legend.

You ever see that tall, white building at 701. It's the biggest in the city. It looks down upon all. #whitesupremacy

It's where Mitch worked when he pretended to actually work at a law firm.

What does the group possibly have against Touro and de Gaulle?

From their site:
quote:

Judah Touro - Jewish slaveholder. First Touro hospital opened where today's Morial Convention Center sits. Slaveholders paid minimum of $1/day to house slaves at his hospital for 'repair' or medical care during antebellum era. This fee was considered high by the slaveholder community.


I Googled "Charles de Gaulle racism" and this quote came up - I'm assuming this is what they take issue with.
quote:

It's a very good thing that there are yellow French people, black French people and brown French people. It's a sign that France is open to all races and that it has a universal vocation. But on condition they stay a minority. If not, France wouldn't be France anymore. After all, we are an European people from white race, Greek and Latin culture, and Christian religion. Try to mix oil and vinegar together. Shake the bottle. After a while, they get separated again. The Arabs are the Arabs, the French are the French. Do you believe that the French nation is able to integrate ten million Muslims who shall be twenty million tomorrow and forty million the day after? If we integrated them, if all the Arabs and Berbers were considered French, how could we prevent them from moving to our home country where the standard of living is so much higher? My village wouldn't be named Colombey-les-Deux-Églises (Colombey of the Two Churches) anymore, but Colombey-les-Deux-Mosquées (Colombey of the Two Mosques)!

Folks could always either purchase the statues or have replicas made and put them on highly visible private property. Just do as a giant frick you. A private landowner put this up right off interstate 65 headed into Nashville. Like, there's no way to avoid seeing it.

Concentrate on reality

Stop blaming your failures on others
Stop killing each other. N. O. Is the 32 nd most dangerous City n the WORLD
Clean up a filthy City
Learn History, and you will learn the "real" reason for the Civil War
Learn how many Union Generals owned slaves. Are you for removing the American Flag because of this
Do you drink Coke products???? Google who invented a Coke and learn his role in the War

I would imagine the Saints need to change their name. I can only assume when the term Saints was invented, slavery was alive and well
