We could have done that before. But now they are empowered by getting a win. A win that was fricking ridiculous. No one is surprised that you don't get it though.

Robert E Lee was a loser with no ties to NOLA.


Should've never been there to begin with. But was erected as a big "frick you" to blacks back in the day.

Zulu's blackface tradition is the complete opposite.

Doesn't matter. You gave these idiots an inch, and now they're here for their mile. And you are clearly too hard headed to understand.

This is having a unifying effect for Mardi Gras.
Never thought I would say this, but thank you Malcolm Suber and Take Em Down Nola.

You mean the iconic statue featured in thousands of pictures that stood atop a 60ft tall obelisk in the middle of Lee Circle?

Removal of a traitor's statue does not bother me.


He chose his side, and he chose poorly.

Which is now an empty eyesore that the city appears to have no plans to fix. But at least we have a Dave & Busters downtown.

work to build public opposition to the Zulu custom and call on the City Council to deny the krewe a parade permit in future years if it does not change its ways,


Councilman Jay Banks was King Zulu a few years ago. I would think also think Williams and Brossett are club members, or related in some sort of way. Zero chance.

Doesn’t there signature face paint harken more to their African tribal roots than sambo black face?

It’s engrained in their logo. Surely if this was anything offensive the hundreds of black members of the Zulu SA&PC would have objected years ago.

Not one single Nola resident cares. Stop letting transplants and outside interests run our fricking city.

Many iconic statues of men on the wrong side of history have been toppled the world over throughout all the ages.

a Zulu member ducked into his Bentley to hastily slap on the group’s signature face paint before flaunting it in front of the protesters.

Now this is how you OT, baws.

So you have no sense of history nor any understanding of why Beauregard had a statue in the first place. Not surprising coming from you.

You’re a traitor for liking the north

They came and took our state’s rights. We’re basically slaves now

Most of these Take Em Down assholes are probably not even from here.

The article said there were only a dozen there and from the pics I only saw one white person, surprisingly. I expected it to be a bunch of Tulane students from New England.
