A quick google of Malcolm Suber reveals the usual ‘community activist’ credentials as head of hundreds of ad-hoc, spur of the moment protest committees; employment as an “actor” in various productions filmed in N.O.

Yep. George Soros approved and funded.

If these people really cared about slavery instead of virtue signaling, they could try to eradicate modern slavery. As in, you know, real slavery that exists NOW, in 2016, not American slavery that was eliminated in 1863, at great cost to the country.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contemporary_slavery

From the above link:

India has the most slaves of any country, at roughly 18.4 million. China is second with 3.4 million slaves, followed by Pakistan (2.1 million), Bangladesh (1.5 million), and Uzbekistan (1.2 million). By percentages of the population living in slavery, North Korea tops with 4.4% (about 1.1 million people out of 25 million), followed by Uzbekistan (4% of its population), Cambodia (1.6%), India, (1.4%) and Qatar (1.4%)

American social justice types could dedicate themselves to freeing modern slaves. If they did, they might have some actual virtue to signal. But that will never happen.

And of course, these easily led black activist idiots are directed by their white liberal democrat handlers.

Too bad they can't see what fools the democrats are making of them.

A little C-4 and some det cord would make that into gravel.

I’m not a fan of Andrew Jackson, but it’s a nice statue. I’ll take it off their hands if they pay transportation.

Andrew Young on soldiers paying the price

Thursday, October 7, 2010

Former UN Ambassador Andrew Young on Wednesday paid tribute to African-Americans whose service to their country goes back to the American Revolution.

Young was the keynote speaker at the dedication at Fort Hill School in Dalton, Ga., of a sign honoring the service of the 44th U.S. Colored Troops during the Civil War.

I'm indebted to Charlie Crawford, head of the Georgia Battlefields Association, for this account and photos. The GBA helped fund the sign and assisted in its writing.

A clear autumn morning in North Georgia's rolling hills saw at least 200 in attendance. A children's chorus sang "Battle Hymn of the Republic."

According to Crawford, "Young spoke without notes and with great feeling. He went back to Crispus Attucks and black troops in the Revolutionary War, then spent some time on Andrew Jackson assembling an army in New Orleans and granting black volunteers land in western Louisiana as a reward.

"Young, who is from New Orleans, said this made quite an impression on his family and explains why he is named Andrew Jackson Young, a name that has recurred in his family over the generations. He spoke of how soldiers pay the price for diplomats' failures and how Americans' willingness to fight for the nation is stronger than any ethnic, cultural, or racial differences."

Why would you want to?

OTOH, a dozen troops in period uniform, -- with fixed bayonets on their muskets -- should suffice to discourage/deter/prevent even a determined punk from affixing a rope to a statue. Especially if they are backed up by a hundred modern-armed sharpshooters...

If, that is, the NOPD doesn't do their job...

When all memory and reminders of slavery are gone, we will ALL BE SLAVES......

[DMZFrank]

Didn’t Andrew Jackson threaten to hang John Calhoun for TREASON for advocating secession?

[TXnMA]

Wonder if these imbeciles have given any thought to what happens to a dumb@$$ atop a statue holding a rope — when someone down below gives the rope a hard pull?

[Wneighbor]

I love that song. And the rest of Johnny Horton’s songs too

[CyberAnt]

Correct! It’s a just a part of our history.

The DemocRATS have caused this vitriol against anybody who was supports the Rebels of the Civil War.

To me, it was just a part of history .. I just don’t get it.

[tumblindice]

Go directly to jail.

[tumblindice]

Great. Now all the Canadians are going to show up with their, “Hey, get oot wid dat song, eh?”

[Rebelbase]

If they topple Jackson will the park be named MLK Square?

[VanShuyten]

Jackson told the Supreme Court to f*** off, and killed tens of thousands of Cherokees who didn’t want to leave their land just so Jackson’s supporters could take it.

Typical Democrat.
