This is fair imo. I wouldn't be opposed to adding some abolitionist statues.

It's a pity it's so easy to get banned on this website. It really holds back on the full breadth of how some people feel about race relations in this city.

Ray Nagin predicted this on MLK Day 2006 (or was it 2007?) - Chocolate City!

Did he also predict that he would be in a "federal pound me in the arse" prison?

Oh, I'm pretty sure St. Bernard officially denounced Leander Perez a while back. Itstead of shelling out for new street signs, etc., the road is now dedicated to a DIFFERENT Perez. I shite you not.

Edit: Melvyn Perez. I swear to God.

That's a lot of streets. Talk about a real "eff you" to the mailmen (people?) who are on those routes.

They'll probably spend more on name changes and statue removal than will be spent on pothole repair.

Maybe LSUTangerine can explain why this is a good thing.

I am on record here that removing the monuments is foolish aand stupid. I do not support it.
