Welcoming & all inclusive doesn’t begin to describe it.

Ah, the “subtle” dichotomy of what makes the foundation of western civilization great against the intentional, methodical destruction and division of American society.

So we have black power art in New Orleans paid for by taxpayers?

Seems reasonable and a very New Orleans thing to do, which is why the entire place sucks donkey dicks.

Tourism grinding to a halt in one of America's most dangerous cities.

So black people found the confederate statues to be racist so they came down. So as white people find this to be racist does that mean…oh, yeah, there’s that old double standard again…sorry.

Your lack of introspection is embarrassing. How do you think black citizens felt when white racists, who lost the war for slavery, commemorated those who tried to keep black people in chains? They did so because they had a majority.

Now, black people have a majority, so they are tearing down the statues they find offensive, and are erecting sculptures that commemorate their culture. That is NOT a double standard; it is the same standard our ancestors had when they erected statues of slavers.

Both are offensive.

I heard Atlanta is doing a giant menthol cigarette statue and Memphis is doing a black nylon do-rag

Nothing says progress like crooked hair care products from crooked politicians.

That's art these days. A huge afro pick that has a communist power fist on the handle.
