A music video director on Sunday morning (Nov. 12) temporarily placed a twice-life size statue of an African-American woman on the slab where the statue of Jefferson Davis once stood. The controversial monument to the President of the Confederacy was removed on May 11. New Orleans filmmaker Zac Manuel explained that the installation will set the scene for a video accompanying a new song titled "If All I Was Was Black" by renowned folk singer and civil rights activist, Mavis Staples, who was not present Sunday.

White people need to get off their asses and have the Bienville statue that is in the state capitol dedicated to one of the naked pedestals before some SJW has a statue of some black historical figure of little significance put there.



If you let them they will replace every Confederate statue with a statue of a black person and eventually replace every statue of a white person in the city of NOLA with a statue of a black person. Because whites are devils, don't cha' know.
