re: NOLA council votes to remove the Monuments- Discussion thread

I think it hurts more that you guys are starting to realize white people don't run the world anymore your opinion is as important as every other race now which no one cares about.

Mitch needed a grand symbolic gesture like this to distract everyone from his own failures as a mayor and parent

sure we do....and it's amazing. i love being white

Rex must have went to meet with his legal advisers because he hasn't said a word since being presented with evidence of his stupidity.

I don't think anybody's feelings are hurt by this decision. We just think that it is ridiculous and will cost us millions and millions of dollars which we don't have

? What the frick are you talking about? Evertime this has ever been brought up this board has pointed out the legality of it. Plus the fact that contracts and other statutes in place. Would mean that if the city were to try this it will cost tens of millions of dollars. It will not happen the courts will laugh in their face, but they will get the votes they need for pandering.

The National Historic Preservation Act DOES NOT guarantee that monuments remain in place forever.

What the vote does today is to initiate the process whereby the City appeals to the Sec. of the Interior to have the statues removed from the Registry. The Interior Dept. will approve their removal, and the statues will come down.

I'm sure it feels good to tell yourself that. Fact is, "white people" have never "run the world." The people who want you to believe that are the same people who want to keep you ignorant.

Oh really? On what grounds?

quote:

Sec. 60.15 Removing properties from the National Register.

(a) Grounds for removing properties from the National Register are as follows:

(1) The property has ceased to meet the criteria for listing in the National Register because the qualities which caused it to be originally listed have been lost or destroyed, or such qualities were lost subsequent to nomination and prior to listing;
(2) Additional information shows that the property does not meet the National Register criteria for evaluation;
(3) Error in professional judgement as to whether the property meets the criteria for evaluation; or
(4) Prejudicial procedural error in the nomination or listing process. Properties removed from the National Register for procedural error shall be reconsidered for listing by the Keeper after correction of the error or errors by the State Historic Preservation Officer, Federal Preservation Officer, person or local government which originally nominated the property, or by the Keeper, as appropriate. The procedures set forth for nominations shall be followed in such reconsiderations. Any property or district removed from the National Register for procedural deficiencies in the nomination and/or listing process shall automatically be considered eligible for inclusion in the National Register without further action and will be published as such in the Federal Register.
