May 11, 2017: The monument to Jefferson Davis in New Orleans, the former president of the Confederacy was removed just after 5 a.m.
Disgusting.
My guess is that P.G.T. Beauregard will be down next week but R.E. Lee may last a few months.
I lived in New Orleans for four years as an undergraduate at Tulane in the 1970s. The history and grace of the city I knew is being destroyed, intentionally, by racial agitators. I hope that the traditional easy manner between the races still prevails among the ordinary people of New Orleans
Yep I’ve heard stories about New Orleans crime.
I know someone who works in the credit card business. And he told me that a disproportionate number of reports of credit card fraud and theft come from the French Quarter. I know facts can be stubborn things. He told me pickpockets are a huge problem in the French Quarter.
Why at 5 am?? If they are so proud of stripping out history why not do it in the light of day???
I observed the Lee Circle protest(s) on Sunday but that seeed to be the only place in town where people cared about the issue.
Removed. As if he never existed. As if the War of Northern Aggression never happened. Erased. History rewritten in the wee hours of the morning. Disgusting.
And New Orlean’s has never been safer. Blacks are all now living in harmony. Race relations are better then ever. And we now can erase history and solve all our problems.
New Orleans, at least Uptown, is much safer now than it was in the 1970’s.
“I do not understand why that was not enjoined by the courts and the people.”
The monuments that have been removed and will be removed are controlled by the city and the courts should not step in and legislate on this matter.
Just like May 10th of 1865.
How talibanesque.
In April the first Confederate Memorial, Liberty Place, was
taken down about 2am.
Ah, a one term Democratic president from the South restored the citizenship rights of another one term Democratic president from the South.
