Ive wondered where this sudden groundswell of progressive will to remove confederate statues when it really isnt a good political move for them. Its not rational at all, so what is it?
I think it's a fairly easy argument that the removal of the statues in Nola was a politically rational move.
I don't know the political/racial demographics of Charlottesville.
That being said, from the standpoint of avoiding creating rallying points for the worst among us, politicians should avoid removal based on what's best for the community for now. The political climate is too charged for removal IMV.

We can agree to disagree about New Orleans. I highly doubt blacks thought twice about statues and I doubtbit garnered any more support for the mayor and city council
