re: Edward Douglass White statue removed from steps of LA Supreme Court in NOLA

One Negro leader, W. E. B. DuBois, found the movie's theme particularly painful. DuBois, an historian by profession and a Progressive in political alignment, opposed censorship, but reasoned that human beings were more important than new motion picture techniques. With the support of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People, he undertook a campaign
to prevent further exhibition of The Birth of a Nation. Confronted with the prospect that NAACP protests might endanger further exploitation of an obvious box office sensation, Griffith and Dixon moved to reinforce their position. Dixon rushed to Washington to enlist the support of federal officials. His success was complete. After arranging an interview with Woodrow Wilson, Southern-born President of the United States,and a man whose attitude on the race question was, to say the least, equivocal, Dixon convinced the President he should see the controversial film.

Wilson, deeply im pressed with the film, remarked: "It islike writing history with lightning . . . and my only regret is that it is all so terribly true.

frick off racist.

Have you seen "Birth of a Nation"?

So a broke-arse city paid for a statue of a man that 99% of NO residents don't know shite about (and don't give a shite about) to move him inside the building? Haha. And Malcolm Suber, NO's racism superspreader, is still pissed off because they didn't totally get rid of the statue. If that guy didn't have his tears, he'd have nothing.

Therefore, at some point, all of history must be inevitably washed and replaced by a made up history. See “1619 Project” if you doubt this.

He was fairly progressive for a white male back then.

He wiped out the legality of the grandfather clause...and he was on the side that stated if there was segregation, it must be equal segregation.

Is the statue being removed because he fought for the confederacy? If so, he paid his price for that -

I remember reading this line from 1984 in my youth....

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.

Had you told me then that one day I’d live to witness this here on America I’d had said you’ve lost your mind. Yet here we are.

If someone like White gets cancelled, you may as well tear down every fricking statue in the state

That's mostly the end game here.
