Maybe they should just go ahead and rename "New Orleans"

Call it: "New 'insert an African sounding name' "

Ray Nagin predicted this on MLK Day 2006 (or was it 2007?) - Chocolate City!

These losers can't possibly have jobs because if they did they wouldn't have time to spend every waking hour looking up the origin of every street name, etc., in New Orleans. I wonder how the mayor will respond to this ridiculous list of offensive names that need to be removed.

I want to see the list of names they propose changing them to.

Will Robert E. Lee Blvd be replaced by Malcolm X Blvd or Barack H. Obama Blvd?

nah, it'll be more like:

Fiddle St.
Trombone St.
Saxophone St.
IPad St.
Legalize It St.
Robert E. Lee will change to be Drew Brees Breezeway

Because he is an idiot. That's it. I'm sick of him and his family ruining the city and the state. His dad was an idiot too. And we keep electing this family who continue to screw us.

Those streets have some great venues.

But I really don't care if they change it. It's just a name to a street.

Not sure about the history of all these guys....

But for the amount of non threatening, universally acceptable and good white men there have been in history, why is there tendency to glamorized the shittiest of the bunch.

Do better. I really could care less if they brought down the statue of a aint shite human being. There are enough good ones for us to praise

Statues of slave owners but can't find a statue of a abolitionist in sight.

Do better my fellow countrymen

Simplistic answer to a not so simple problem. Buying in to and promoting the " good white men" argument is as racist as the "good/bad black men" statement. Then again, if you stop categorizing the black/white, men/women issue, it takes away some of the SJW argument. But they don't won't that to happen as it takes away their purpose in life.

All this time and money invested in statue removal and street renaming will do what? Nothing, except be a good topic on TD. Spend the money on education, healthcare, crime prevention. But no, the SJW segment has to have a Boogeyman.

Maybe some of them and your loser friends could spend just a little bit of their valuable free time talking about and pushing issues that might really make a difference in the city. Bitching about the names of things does nothing.
