The imposing pick is part of the Monumental Tour, a traveling exhibition of large-scale outdoor works by Black artists.




The exhibit website says the three sculptures were provided by New Orleans Office of Cultural Economy, the Essence Festival of Culture and the Kindred Arts organization. The sculptures arrived in time for Juneteenth celebrations this weekend and will remain in place through the 2022 Essence Fest, June 30 to July 3, and depart to their next destination after July 12.

That city is a shite hole, thanks Louisiana for letting that communist bitch take it over. Sad really because it was beautiful at one point and a great place to visit on a Sunday morning.

Didn’t realize it was temporary. Good. A permanent thing should be done with some standards

These people went from Aristotle and Shakespeare to really dumb fairly quickly.

And it appears that the reason is that their constitution allowed career politicians.

I think it’s a cool statue, personally.

But it looks like shite in that location. Completely clashes with its surroundings and frankly looks tacky there.



This looks like a bad fark.

So….. just to recap. The city took down the ‘racist’ statues only to replace them with a ‘Black Power’ statue?




What in the frick are y’all doing down there? GTFO.

Your lack of introspection is embarrassing. How do you think black citizens felt when white racists, who lost the war for slavery, commemorated those who tried to keep black people in chains? They did so because they had a majority.

Now, black people have a majority, so they are tearing down the statues they find offensive, and are erecting sculptures that commemorate their culture. That is NOT a double standard; it is the same standard our ancestors had when they erected statues of slavers.

Both are offensive.

What else would NOLA spend 7.2 million on?

Fixing streets? Fixing pumps to prevent flooding every time it rains?

Afro picks are the obvious choice. Money well spent.

You get and deserve the government you vote for.

That rake might’ve cost 10 grand. And I’m being extremely generous.

The rest of that “rake-off” went into Teedy’s coffers and those of her minions.

And you know what? She’s laughing her fat, squatty ghetto arse off about it, all the way to the bank.

This seems offensive to bald people of all races.


Someone should reach out to Will and Jada Smith for comment.

The black power fist is racist. It should be torn down immediately! She should be removed from office at once.
