Seriously though, this is a sad day for New Orleans and the US. This was one of the last great historical cities left in this country, and the soviet style progressives are about to dismantle its distinctiveness and charm piece by piece.

So now it's about treason and not slavery? Keep moving the goalposts, arse.

Tigerdev is more wound up over the Confederates than the actual people back in the 1800's who fought against them.

We're not going to speak under the premise that statues are valueless, and I don't know why you fancy your opinion so valuable to me as to make me yearn to change it. I don't need you to be happy about this.

and why should your opinion matter on this at all considering you don't live here and your tax dollars won't go to this? You're claiming people are melting yet you're spending your time commenting on every single page about an issue that has nothing to do with you. Sounds like a solid way to spend your time.

It's his way of justifying Confederate removals. This way, he can exclude the fleur de lis, St Louis Cathedral, etc.

Wanting to preserve slavery drove bad men to treason.

Freedom of thought and freedom to remember are too dangerous for a free society to have.

I am glad you also want to tear down St Louis Cathedral, though.

These monuments to white power and their history need to be torn down.

I'm just shooting the shite. You were trying to play some game where you changing your opinion was the object of the game, and I just didn't care for it for the same reason I don't care to have sex with a man.

They're fun conversations. What can I say?

It is very telling that even when faced with a non-racial rationale... You fall back to your white victimhood platitudes.
It is very clear what this is really about for you...

So you think taking down the statues has nothing to do with race?

Seems like a good enough excuse to take another walk around in there, but for now, there's this.

As a point of information, the five points now is a park overrun with Chinese mahjong players, homeless, and drug addicts.
