JHC I thought these were all down.

How many monuments does NOLA have anyway?

Get rid of them and be done. You rednecks are fighting a battle you will not win. Best to save face and live to fight another day.

some of those WWII soldiers were probably racist, so yes.



Which ones? Did they betray their nation to advance the cause of white supremacy?

Maybe we should judge people by their actions. Just a thought.

i'd imagine some of those soldiers probably even came back and lynched some people in the 50s/60s.




When you can tell us which ones did it we'll take any statues of them down, too.

Not a single exhibit is dedicated to African Americans.

I see what you did there. You didn't like the question asked so you answered another one.

Does it celebrate white supremacy?

Considering most SJW's consider America a white supremacist nation up until the 60s, yes.

Lots.

New Orleans battlefield (fought to preserve the slave holding king of cotton New Orleans

Jackson Square

Jackson Barracks

St Louis Cathedral, Presbytere, Cabildo - all built with slave labor

Fleur de Lis

New Orleans archives (for remembering and recording the slave holders)

All plantations within Louisiana

Not to mention street names, and neighborhoods, Tremee, Marigny, etc.

There's lots more too.

Where does it end?

The only one currently centered on AAs is a Traveling Exhibit called "Fighting for the Right to Fight: African American Experiences in WWII"

It's not permanent.

So let's rid ourselves of the term "African American". Why would any black person in this country want to be subjected to being grouped in with people who sold their ancestors?
