re: Mitch trying to take down Beauregard tonight?

Uh oh, some dude is losing his shite

ETA: Oh they had to take it off that dude cuz he started cussin'

I'm sure it was in the original bid.

In 1891, the city erected a monument to commemorate and praise the insurrection from the Democratic Party point of view, which at the time was in firm political control of the city and state and was in the process of disenfranchising most blacks. The white marble obelisk was placed at a prominent location on Canal Street. In 1932, the city added an inscription that expressed a white supremacist view.

I guess New Orleans crime will drop to hardly anything now that all those racist statues are gone.

Where are they taking the monuments?

Middle of the night, taped over company names, tarps to obstruct views, police restricting media access, mysterious private funding of a municipal project... Could this be any more bizarre? Strikes me like something that wouldn't happen in America.

I wonder how many people here voted for Mitch

Now the monuments will end up at Landrieu's buddy's new confederate museum where both will profit off of them.

This is a largely undiscussed issue as well. How the hell is that being allowed? They are giving / permanently loaning public property to a privately held business for use
In making a profit?
