With all the problems that the city has right now and this is the most pressing issue? History and statues?

So what do these idiots want to replace the statues with?

Never mind the crumbling streets and decrepit city services, they've got important shite like this to take care of right now.

My street is like I-10 for four years now....My trash gets picked up at 5PM now instead of AM....my mail gets delivered after dark with no hope of outgoing mail being processed until the next day. My shipment boxes get stolen off of my porch. I cant go to a restaurant without looking over my shoulder at the front door every five minutes and packing heat. Tourists are being shot, robbed at gunpoint, and spit on by French Quarter vagrants.

But our highest city officials are eating cookies listening to homeless black men protest history they know nothing about.

I'm very understanding but cannot process this waste of effort and time when the rest of your city crumbles.

So? As repugnant as it is, it's the states right to rule themselves. If the people elect leaders that believe this, its their job to serve the public as the public sees fit.

I think you're missing the bigger picture here.
