Should have just removed the column.



Yep

Just put a fountain there or something

If the city government could actually be trusted to install non-racist fountain instead of a 100-ft. statue of Barack Obama or Teedy.

understand why they don’t just take the column down and put up a giant flag pole with a giant American flag.


If you want to write the check they will likely do it.



I would organize and raise the money if LaToya let me contract it out and handle all the arrangements. I am not writing a check to LaToya and the city government of NOLA because they would probably use the money to put up a giant BLM flag or just steal the money.

Well you’ve described yourself quite accurately at least.

That’s your best response?

You’ve proven my point yet again - NOLA people are absolutely retarded

I don't love it, it looks very incongruous with the area.

However, it could have been A LOT worse, so I can live with it

Didn't crime go down about 10000000% after those offensive statues were removed ?

It's obvious to me that this is a sculpture of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ, Davidic King of Heaven and Earth.

I was being lighthearted in response to your negativity. I’m not getting into it on the internet about some statue I think is tolerable at best and way less preferable than the previous statue of one of my favorite people in American History.

However, calling people from New Orleans retarded twice leads me to believe you are projecting your own mental deficiencies, so even if I wanted to argue with you about this I’m not sure I’d get an educated response. I’ll spare you the trouble of having to reply and call myself retarded this time. You really hit the nail on the head.

Looks like the Sacred Heart of Jesus to me.

ETA: Just googled the artist, and he does a lot of work with Mexican and Catholic iconography. One of his first major works was St. George slaying the dragon.

Awesome. Just gave Nola teens/thugs everywhere a new idea to rob people. Heart shaped brass knucks for the hit, grab, and runs.

I wonder if they considered a giant “LIVE LAUGH LOVE” sculpture

The crown is a blatant signaling of the racist, slave trading, colonizing, mass murdering patriarchy and must immediately be removed. The placement of the crown over the numerous red hearts reflects the abject disregard of said racists for the indigenous peoples they subjugated for centuries and the blood they spilled in so doing.

Take it down!!!
