It’s gibberish that’s put forth in order to “legitimize“ the lunacy.

It’s what Dems do...

LOL, a spoon? At the time of Roark’s Drift, I doubt they knew what a spoon is.

The top kind of looks like the symbol Prince used when changed his name to a symbol.

Sad. I have/had hundreds and hundreds of dollars to give the city. Maybe I will switch to Nashville.

I assume this means they are giving up indoor plumbing, cars, televisions, phones, cell phones, high rise buildings, AC, heat, subways, city buses, fast food, etc etc?
I mean, to truly be free of whiteness, you only get jazz, peanut butter, rap and the cotton gin.

Oh........you mean you aren't THAT serious about it?

Lee Square

Haven't been down St. Charles that far in a long while, did they actually make it square now? If so, it must be fun to navigate!

We will be talking about New Orleans like they talk about Detroit. Ancient ruins. It is inevitable.

It's mostly there. Without the federal tax dollars pouring in via "hurricane recovery" and covid, it would be a ghost town long ago. Now it's not ghosts, it's zombies, brainless zombies.

Replacing a statue of an "offensive" white Southerner with one inspired by an empire that raped and pillaged its way to controlling much of black southern Africa. This is idiocy, even for you woke morons.

Explain to me why it's ok for blacks to glorify their Zulu heritage but it's not ok for white Southerners to glorify Confederate veterans, considering both groups engaged in historical atrocities. I know you're a white-guilt, self-loathing cuck who'd wash a minority's foot after being robbed and beaten, but at least try and answer.
