These statues had to come down because the confederacy was a racist traitor nation that was defeated. We're not scrubbing history. Just refusing to honor traitors. Oh wait...that was just how we get our foot in the door.

quote:

Malcolm Suber, an adjunct professor at Southern University at New Orleans and organizer of Take ’Em Down NOLA, said the next big battle will be to remove an equestrian statue of Andrew Jackson, the seventh president of the United States, from a prominent spot in Jackson Square in the city’s historic French Quarter.

“Millions of tourists have taken photos of that statue without realizing the character of the man,” Suber said, noting the Tennessee native was a major slaveholder. “If Harriet Tubman can replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill, certainly we can do the same. We want to wipe the slate clean.

An adjunct professor at a satellite campus of a "historic black" university. You'll have to forgive me if I forget to bow in your presence, professor.

Malcolm Subers only goal is to leave some footnote of himself in history. He knows he is ultimately insignificant and this way his name will maybe be mentioned in the future, even if only as an epithet.

Yeah. I hope none of these assholes ever desire to drive a Porsche, Mercedes, BMW, Toyota, VW (literally made by hitler), etc.

Or take Bayer Aspirin.

Didn't realize this University with a 3% graduation rate had such distinguished faculty. We can never let this institution of higher learning be folded into UNO.

Someone asked me what I think that the city should do with the monuments now. I said, "well, since Mitch thinks that they scared so many people away...put Jefferson Davis in Houston, P.G.T. Beauregard in Dallas and Robert E. Lee in Atlanta. Maybe they'll scare a lot of people into coming back."

The sad part is that the dumbass might just try it.

Just another move to desensitizing true history. Just another move toward total socialism. Just another move toward one world government. Divide the people and conquer is the democrats motto.

When a city leader not only refuses to prioritize the real, tangible issues we have in New Orleans, but has actually contributed to some of those issues, I have to think about my future in Orleans.....besides the fact that my mayor has a clear disdain for me. I was born and raised in New Orleans, and for the first time in my life, I'm considering a move to Jefferson Parish. It pisses me off too. But I can't just be blind to what's going on.

Democrats want one health system, one education system, one religion, one economic system - all controlled by the government to control its people. Removal of history and rewriting textbooks are simply a way of manipulating future generations - not only fake news- fake history.

How about we just not collect federal income tax on them for say... 5 years.
