Also it only divides people insofar as they put their identity to the Lost Cause above other identities that bring us closer together.
Corporate Tiger = Mitch Landrieu. Nobody, black or white, had an issue with the statues until Mitch found a convenient excuse to get rid of them. I'd be willing to bet the statue removal would have failed miserably if it had actually gone to a vote of the folks in Orleans Parish. Mitch's little publicity stunt was absolutely unnecessary and has achieved the exact opposite of bringing us closer together. It's actually laughable to hear that POS say that folks have actually moved from NOLA because of the statues.

I don't have a problem with them now. If the next mayor erects new statues I won't care.

Maybe. A lot of things would fail a vote but still get implemented because our remedy is removing the people who voted for it (see Obamacare).
