Not even that long. The South will be majority Hispanic by the end of the century and they don't particularly like black people too much. They'll find a reason to remove MLK from everything

Hispanics will be a plurality in the US in 25-30 years.

He actually has a street named after him on LSU's campus unless they've renamed it by now.

If we can erase and forget our past and all of our mistakes and history it’ll be like they never happened, we’ll never have to learn a lesson or evaluate our present and we’re free to repeat all of our mistakes ad infinitum with ignorant bliss.

If you need monuments instead of history books to remember then you probably won't be consulted much on what mistakes we are making.

it had already been vandalized that is correct.

But me thinks the mayor is full o' shite.


i think the worst it got here was last Sunday night.

they tear gassed the crowd in downtown then later there was a big scene on Airport Blvd. near the malls.

Not surprising. I remember that they renamed some of them but I couldn't remember which ones.

Wait until they try to change our mascot. That'll eventually happen too. Fightin' Tigers isn't exactly about Mike
