A plaque in Audubon Park honoring the Buffalo Soldiers was vandalized Wednesday morning (May 2), the day after a Mid-City statue commemorating Charles Didier Dreux, who was the first Confederate field officer killed in the Civil War, was defaced.

The Buffalo Soldiers were all-black cavalries, led mostly by white officers, who are best known for fighting in military campaigns against Native American tribes in the late 1800s.

The Audubon Park plaque reads, "The name "Buffalo Soldiers" was given to them by the Plains Indians. They gained respect from the Indians because of their fighting spirit, stamina, courage, and the similarity of their hair to the buffalo."

On Wednesday, the plaque had been spray painted with a red anarchy symbol and a message on the pavement in front of the plaque read "native genocide."

If you give a crusty hippie some heroin...he’s not going to be happy until he gets more heroin.

Same with these types. Outrage is their drug and they’ll need to go further and further off the plantation of sanity to get it.

If you know your history
Then you would know where you coming from
Then you wouldn't have to ask me
Who the heck do I think I am,

I'm just a Buffalo Soldier
In the heart of America
Stolen from Africa, brought to America
Said he was fighting on arrival
Fighting for survival

I expect Mitch to tear down this one too. It’d be consistent.

What are the chances that the suspect is a Plains Indian?

I'm shocked that a clean, crime and corruption free city like New Orleans would attract such filth.

So now Mitch is siding with those that deface monuments to black veterans?

Lovely

Somebody isn’t paying attention to demographics. Defacing monuments to black folks in a city of 70% black folks isn’t bright.

And they have better weapons than the buffalo soldiers did.
