The statue of Confederate General P.G.T. Beauregard has been spray-painted with the words 'Black Lives Matter' on both sides of its base. The statue stands at the main entrance to City Park in the circle where North Carrollton and Esplanade avenues intersect, directly in front of the New Orleans Museum of Art.

Beauregard was considered the first prominent general of the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War. According to New Orleans Historical, it took twenty years to raise the $22,000 needed for the monument, which was completed in 1915....

Marxist goal-—tear down all Traditions and destroy all history so they can teach children “REAL” history. LOL——Mind in a Vat.

We need to teach the Truth and not change it. We learn by making mistakes-—but sometimes we can learn from the past so we DON’T make the same mistakes.

Our school system has to be DESTROYED and given back to parents and the local level. Not even the State level.. ALL Common Core curricula (written by CAIR and the sick sodomite type of mind like Billy Ayers) has to be BURNED-—IT IS history through a MARXIST Lens which TWISTS Truth and DESTROYS Knowledge so children have no foundation to “think” with-—nothing worth reflecting on. And it intentionally hyper-sexualizes children (enlarges the Limbic area of brain) when the body is designed to suppress it so intellectual development occurs. Sexualization of children fixates them in a puerile stage when they prefer “the Same”-—Latency. (Sodomy promotion is the end game-—for “Sexual Liberation” so that we have chaos-—without Virtue, there is no Freedom (Socrates).

All the literature (like Bluest Eyes (girl raped by father who has baby)-—is SICK and embeds evil minds into children and destroys how they look at male and female and particularly THEIR DAD.

All Marxist literature will embed hate and fear-—hate for parents, hate for “the Other” (they will be homosexual) (diversity cr*p) , hate for different color (multiculturalism cr*p) and hate for Christianity (to flip Good and Evil) and hate for White people (self if white) -—hate for old people so euthanasia becomes universal “Right” from God. The system is designed to destroy critical thinking (always distractions) and force “group think” and will embed instant gratification which destroys Virtue.

The Left’s mindless minions doing their obligatory, nefarious deeds.

Probably some black punk whose grandparents cam here from Jamaica back in the ‘70s. But as long as you identify with slavery then you can play the victim and be down for the struggle.

Is anybody organizing voluntary patrols to protect these statues and other Civil War related displays? If I lived in an area that had such things, I’d gladly volunteer.

I believe WHITE GIRL BLEED A LOT would be more appropriate.

As I recall, Beauregard was of Creole decent and had some black blood in him. Oh, the irony.

I think the people down there rather just mope and cower in their house.

Their ancestors fought the most powerful army on the continent sometimes barefooted and almost won multiple times. Today their descendants, that glad wrap themselves in their imagery and symbols, can’t spare the time to look over their statues and graves.

That’s a shame. Ideally, you would have minimum two people sitting out near the statue(s) or display for a four to five hour shift and have most importantly a cell phone camera on hand to photograph or even videotape any sort of rude, confrontational behaviour from potential miscreants.

Really, I studied some of Beauregard back in Honors U.S. History back then, and I never knew that, the more I learn I guess.

If they matter then they should try to make a positive difference. Being welfare kings and queens does not count.

I don't know how swarthy Beauregard may have appeared, as "Creole" is an ambiguous term. Here is a clue from a young soldier who served under him and wrote to his grandfather about the general:

“As he rode away after gracefully bowing to the crowd,” Ellis wrote, “a shout such as Napoleon might have heard from the lips of the Guard went up, ‘Harrah for Beauregard our Chief.’ It’s strange Pa how we love that little black Frenchman, but there is not a man in the army who would not willingly die in following his lead.”

Don’t believe everything you read on the internet. Do some research on your own to see if it is true. Good luck.
