NEW ORLEANS, LA (WVUE) - There's a new push to have more monuments removed in New Orleans, including the French Quarter's iconic Andrew Jackson statue.

The group Take Em Down Nola says the removal of four statues is not enough.

"We're issuing an invitation to the mayor to finish the job. He has already begun the job, and we want him to finish the job," said Malcolm Suber, Take Em Down NOLA spokesman.

"What we would like to see in their place is people who stood for people and liberation. For instance, we think since Harriet Tubman is going to replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill," Suber said. "We don't understand why we can't turn Jackson Square into Harriet Tubman Square. At Lee Circle, we don't understand why we can't turn Lee Circle into Dorothy Mae Taylor Circle. Dorothy Mae Taylor was one of the most courageous black leaders in this city. She led the effort to desegregate Mardi Gras."

The lunatic left can never be satisfied. The mulatto mayor of NO can deal with it now.

I was just starting to like New Orleans. It was nicer after much of it had been rebuilt after Hurricane Katrina.

After Katrina, a lot of the criminal ghetto thugs were sent away. Appears they’ve spread again and they’re destroying the city.

N.O. is a black city. Most of the non blacks are. PC liberal wealthy and kumbaya type imports. It’s over. They want ONLY black monuments.The real question is WHY do dead white “criminals” ,who abused and killed blacks hundreds of years ago,offend more than living black criminals killing blacks every day on the streets?! Why confront the PAST and excuse and understand the present??Because today’s brutes look like you??7

All history will be changed or erased circa 1984.

Most of our cities are no longer truly part of America. They are ruled by another tribe. Astrophysicists have a name for these dark voids, singularities sucking in all resources but never giving back.

It would appear that the feral ghetto liberals have taken over the crescent city...I give it less than 3 years before that city is destroyed worse than Katrina could do!

When will they start burning books?

These folks are a lot like muslims. They take over an area and want to remove all the historical monuments and then burn books. That’s exactly what muslims do when they invade an area. If they remove all history, it makes it easier for them to spew their BS cult religion.

They’ve probably heard Trump likes Andrew Jackson, so he must go, just out of spite and hatred.

And, just who sits by, idly watching, as this takeover happens?

“Take Em Down NOLA has always said our effort is a necessary part of the struggle for economic and social justice.” IOW commies making demands.

THE WRATH OF THE AWAKENED SAXON
by Rudyard Kipling

It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late,
With long arrears to make good,
When the Saxon began to hate.

They were not easily moved,
They were icy — willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the Saxon began to hate.

Their voices were even and low.
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show
When the Saxon began to hate.

It was not preached to the crowd.
It was not taught by the state.
No man spoke it aloud
When the Saxon began to hate.

It was not suddently bred.
It will not swiftly abate.
Through the chilled years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the Saxon began to hate.

We laugh about stuff like this now but when will outside influences come to bear to spank the locals?

It’s always important to remember these groups wouldn’t have any impact at all if the media didn’t love to showcase their rantings and ravings.

Is there a say NO to NO movement? There needs to be a boycott.
