Who’ll Replace the Disgraced Robert E. Lee as a New Orleans Monument? Fidel Castro? Or Che Guevara?

Not many people realize Che guevara’s Grandparents were wealthy Americans who emigrated from the USA to Argentina .

They did that because at the time that was where all the real millionaires were . in Argentina.

I nominate Ray “School Bus” Nagin.

[gaijin]

I forgot to say their business was manufacturing luxury yachts.

I'm okay with lots of Obama statues . . .
pigeons will speak for all real Americans.

[Colonel Kangaroo]

If it was up to me in New Orleans, I’d put up a staue to the man who defeated Lee, the American patriot Ulysses Grant.

[SERKIT]

Once the Soetoro Lie-Berry is built in Chicago, it should immediately be torn down so we can finally heal from the damaging decade of Obama. We need to wipe out the entire history of our nation of the vile damage this man did to our country. /sarcastic for those too sensitive to get the joke....

[BuffaloJack]

General Lee will never be disgraced.
Robert E Lee was one of the most honorable men in history.

[blackbetty59]

I vote for Assata Shakur, or any of the other African cop killers. That’s what the majority of the residents of NOLA really admire.

[Stopthethreat]

I guess slavery never occurred. Hooray for revisionism!

[null and void]

Mao? Pol Pot? Maduro?

[Migraine]

Rafael Cruz? (nah)
Lee Harvey Oswald? (not much support)

Or, maybe, to commemorate three favorite themes of the left (smeared Bush with Katrina, created and sustained ISIS, loves to foster all manner of sexual perversion/porn):

Katrina Isis

(I think she’s a porn actress, although I would have no way of knowing for sure)

Forget Che- Cubans or not, the local black population won't have it. Forget anyone white-founders of the city or not-it will be something 'all inclusive' like 'Liberty' or 'Millenial' circle, or a black demi-god. Doesn't matter, really. All around the circle are some of the worst criminals imaginable and the drunks and meth-heads who sleep at Lee Circle don't care what it's called. It's all temporary
Real progress would be a police sub-station at the site of every removed monument. That would be appropriately symbolic AND practical.

When I was going to college back in Fresno it was the height of Caesar Chavez mania. Everything in the state was being named for Chavez and the put a stupid statue of him up on the grounds. Knowing libs, I say either Trayvon Martin or St Brown of Furgeson.

[Archie Bunker on steroids]

Robert E Lee was one of the most honorable men in history.

Amem.....why else was he Lincoln's choice to lead the Union. Man of integrity and one of the top military generals the world has ever known

[kiltie65]

I think it is disgraceful to remove historical objects which reflect a time in history. They southerners were fighting for a cause they believed in, and because they lost the winners get to tear down the monuments...happens in every country, sorry to see it happen here.
