New Orleans city workers started tearing down one of four prominent Confederate monuments early Monday morning, a move hailed by some as a victory for diversity and criticized by others as an erasure of history.
The Liberty Place Monument, an 1891 obelisk honoring the Crescent City White League, was the first to go. Mayor Mitch Landrieu said it was the "most offensive of the four" and that it was built to "revere white supremacy." The CCWL attempted to overthrow a biracial government during post-Civil War Reconstruction.

If u were a business there, I'd put a replica Lee statue on my property or building.

So when will monuments of our founding fathers be taken down? They were traitors to Britain as the South was considered to the U.S..

1) It was justified. 2) They actually won.

This is a sad day for New Orleans

Which is most offensive?

Louisiana needs to get Landrieu and JBE the heck out. The damage they will cause will be unattainable to reverse.
This is beyond surreal ridiculous. Removing these statues does WHAT EXACTLY?
It fulfills one of the COMMUNIST planks entered into Congress as a warning sign to the United States of America.

Well you know what? The next time the leftists get power, squash dissent, and turn the country into Venezuela it will turn out the South was right but a couple hundred years early. A couple hundred years is a blink of the eye in history.

Most just-war theorists say otherwise.

How so? Because of taxes?

So only if you win are your actions justified?

I can understand the first one if it does in fact honor the crescent city white league.
Tearing down the others such as statues of Lee is just moronic.

To me it isn't an attachment to the statues at all...it is the fact that the left feels it can step in and purge, at will, any item/entity that can be deemed offensive by an "aggrieved" group. This is how it starts...where it leads from here is the issue.

The Liberty Place Monument can go. I believe it was already moved to be "hidden" where it is now about twenty years ago. It's understandably the most offensive.

This first one is just an obelisk, so who really cares. You know who else liked obelisks? Slave owning Egyptians.
And probably Hitler too.
