Why would anyone want to take down Jackson?



The more statues that come down the more the murder rate comes down.

Fun fact...much of the ancient world was built by slaves, of every hue.



Anytime you find yourself looking at something historic and saying, "how the hell did they do that?" Like dragging those stones up walls in BC times. The answer is ALWAYS slaves. People being beaten. Pyramids are just too old I guess.

Retroactive outrage is the worst.

Well, he's a symbol of anti-Catholicism abroad.

"I have no interest at all in preserving white supremacy monuments that honor the people who try to enslave and exploit our people," Suber said. Suber said he is now looking ahead to his next fight. He wants Andrew Jackson's statue at Jackson Square changed to honor runaway slave and abolitionist Harriet Tubman.

"If Harriet Tubman can be placed on the $20 bill, in coming years, we can remove Jackson from Jackson Square and call it Tubman Square," Suber said.



Is this real life?

Remember when American Forces, led by Harriet Tubman, saved New Orleans from being burned to the ground by British Forces in 1815?

If any of those monuments are removed I will never spend another penny in that city.


Some idiots would like to pretend that history can be erased. Everything must be politically correct, all the time or their sensitive feelings get all bent out of shape. Grow up!

I dislike Obama as much as the next conservative, but you're creating a bit of a false equivalency there and you know it.

You know not of which you speak. States rights were the foundation of this country.

quote:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.


Under your logic we should just support the government no matter what they do. Leaving slavery out of this. Seceding from the union was the most patriotic thing the south could have done.

Are you suggesting the founding fathers were wrong to break away from Britain?

FWIW they've determined the pyramids were built with paid labor.

This is pretty typical.

Give an inch, they take and rename your entire city
