don't really give a shite about the statues but I don't live in NOLA. I agree with most in that the situation has been handled poorly. At the very least these things should be preserved in a museum for historical purposes.

If weren't for these wormy moonbats, black folks wouldn't have paid any mind to these statues.

Don't try to gain political capital off the back of African Americans that were slaughtered in a church. If that shooting never happened then this would've never been brought up and anyone with a brain knows that.

Couldn't have said it better myself. My life hasn't changed one bit since those statues came down.

It hasn't?

Because my local government just blew a million dollars despite claiming to be too broke to fix streets and too divided to help the education system.

And now when I drive past the entrance to city Park there's a giant piece of shite that looks like vandalized blight and the same city has no plans or care to fix it.

No. I don't. If there is anything you should be upset about its fascism I your backyard and rampant government corruption at your front door.

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
