The State of Louisiana was named after Louis XIV, King of France from 1643 to 1715. As the monarch of France, Louis XIV personally presided over and personally profited from a systematic French slave trade in their colonial empire. Louis XIV created Le Code Noir which had the purpose of destroying African culture slaves possessed. As monarch, Louis XIV had more power than anyone in history over slavery as his word was law. We must NOT honor this man and thus must change the name of our state...

The city of New Orleans was named in honor of the then Regent of France, Phillipe II, Duke of Orléans. On the death of his father in June 1701, Philippe inherited the dukedoms of Orléans, Anjou, Montpensier and Nemours, as well as the princedom of Joinville. Upon the death of the prince de Condé in 1709, the rank of Premier Prince du Sang passed from the House of Condé to the House of Orléans. Philippe was thus entitled to the style of Monsieur le Prince. As regent, Phillip personally presided over and personally profited from a systematic French slave trade in their colonial empire. We must NOT honor this man and thus must change the name of our city...
Bourbon Street was named after the French Bourbon Dynasty which ruled France during the period in which they developed a systematic slave trade in their colonial empire. The name MUST be changed...

Dumaine Street is named after the son of Louis XIV. As Louis XIV personally presided over and personally profited from a systematic French slave trade in their colonial empire. We must NOT honor this man and thus must change the name...
Conti St was named for Prince de Conti, a representative of the ruling Bourbon family. As this family personally presided over and personally profited from a systematic French slave trade in their colonial empire. We must NOT honor this man and thus must change the name...

All the Faubourg names including Treme and Marigny must go. These areas were named after the owners of the slave plantations once on that property...
St Charles Avenue must go. St Charles was named after King Carlos III who reigned over Spain and the Spanish Indies from 1759-1788. Carlos III presided over and profited from slavery during that period...

Carondolet Street is named after the Spanish colonial governor Francisco Luis Héctor de Carondelet who presided over and profited from slavery. It must go...
Claiborne Avenue is named after William C. C. Claiborne, a Governor of Louisiana who owned slaves, presided over slavery and killed slaves involved in a rebellion during his term. It must go...

Poydras Street is named after Julien de Lallande Poydras. Poydras had a large number of slaves and had many of them executed when they attempted a rebellion in 1795. It must go...

Louis Phélypeaux, comte de Pontchartrain was in a position of stewardship over several elements of the French slave trade including the French Navy which transported the French Colonial slaves. He also personally profited from the practice. As the Lake and Hotel and Expressway in our city are named after the same individual, they will have to go as well...

Tulane University and Tulane Avenue must go. Their namesake, Paul Tulane, personally owned slaves and Paul Tulane's father made much of his fortune which Paul inherited trading slaves in Haiti...

Dillard University must change their name, It is named after James H Dillard, the son of slave owners who was educated at Tulane University, which was named after a slaveholder...

John James Audubon was born Jean-Jacques Audubon on his Father's slave plantation in what is now Haiti. He also owned slaves in what was an important slave trading center in Louisville, Kentucky. Therefore the names of Audubon Park, Audubon Zoo, Audubon Nature Institute and all of the streets named Audubon must go, including Audubon Place...

Gallier Hall must go. James Gallier, the architect and namesake of Gallier Hall who also designed the Pontalba apartments, was born James Gallagher in Ireland. Gallier owned a crew of slaves which he employed at his sawmill in Lafayette City...

I feel better after his tantrum. It's a long post but it's on point. If slavery is being whitewashed, all of it has to go. It's time to start the petitions.

I swear, there are truly some miserable fricks on this board. Y'all sit around all day thinking about statues and other little things that can come down bc of their name. We've had about 100 similar threads like this already this week.

I think it's bullshite what the bitch is doing, but some of you need to give it a rest. This place is becoming like the poli board, except over statues instead of Russians.

I'm going to laugh when some SJW actually uses this post as justification to make all those changes.
