... they want to remember injustices done to the black community. LINK

Library at LSU renamed because they don't want to be reminded of injustices done to the black community.

"Take us serious"

"The artist says he was compelled to paint it to make sure no one forgets...."

Do as "they" do, and to quote the family of the Gentle Giant in Ferguson: "Burn this MF to the ground!". Go pull down the wall the mural is on, Burn the LSU Library to the ground when the new name is unveiled.

it helps promote white guilt in many who are fearful and conditioned to feel the guilt.

that cop Looks nothing like the one that did the deed.

Dude made him as white, blond and aryan looking as possible.

Hopefully no one defaces this masterpiece by, say, putting googly eyes on it.

He 'accidentally' forgot to paint the asian cop who stood by and did nothing.

Injustices done to the black community you say?


Take a look at the mote in thine own eye.

Ask the people who support this mural if its ok to use the same quote on why the Library name should stay Middleton and watch them flip the frick out.

Maybe another talented artist could go add in the pregnant woman Floyd robbed at gun point?

You must not be familiar with Baton Rouge topography but Thomas Delpit is in the heart of the hood in South Baton Rouge. You will never have to see it.

Did they paint a copy of his criminal record beside him? If we want to keep bringing up/using history, it should apply to all.

Regardless of whether I have to see it or not, I'm not going to summon a posse of other people with the same feelings as me toward it and fight tooth and nail to have it taken down to suit myself. Even if I happen to pass it on THD one day, I wont have a nervous breakdown and lose my shite. I'll likely just try to control my emotions for those 2 seconds, then get on living my life.
