Now that the Confederate flag has been used as an excuse to eviscerate the history of the South, others are looking to destroy more symbols that are part of the regions history, including Louisianas fleur-de-lis.
At a meeting of the New Orleans City Council on Thursday, which was open to the public, Rudy Mills, head of the grassroots group Remove Racist Images, spoke in favor of removing the fleur-de-lis symbol, asserting, Check the history. Its also a very racist symbol. In late June, speaking at a rally, he intoned, The rally is to start a movement to remove all the racist images that surround our city.

Easier solution is to erase all traces of slavery and viola, all things are good.
I’m expecting the American flag to be taken down as a sign of racism, next.
After all, the mid-level courts have said yes, it is ok to discipline American kids for wearing an American flag in an American school on Cinco de Mayo because of the sensitivities of the Mexicans.
While we’re at it trying to abolish racism, why don’t the black inner cities get split up. Let’s say no more than 1 per block with others rotten stinking hell hole buildings being filled by other animals. These idiots keep talking about racism, but you always see then in their own pure groups and don’t want any outsiders in. So who are the racists?
Ah ha. I see you must have missed they lyin’ king’s new governing rule where he’s gonna move some “folks like them” into more upscale neighborhoods to help integrate our communities. That’s what community organizers do. Right? Maybe even during the next census, based on the size of your house and number of occupants, you may get to host some folks who are obviously less advantaged than you. The “fact” that you ‘supposedly’ worked hard for what you have is moot. I mean why would that make you more deserving? :>}
“Secondary target.
Next primary target will be the State of Mississippi flag and perhaps the flag of the State of Arkansas.”
The Mississippi Flag is already and has been under heavy attack and the Arkansas Flag has been getting some mention regarding being offensive, it is red, white and blue with stars.
When will the country face facts: nothing has a more racist history than the democrat party.

Keep your eye on the State of Florida flag....same design, yet different colors.
Who dat nation?
Mais oui!
The only flag that will be acceptable eventually will be the rainbow hammer and sickle.
Right. It is a loaded symbol. Very encompassing. The good French are very blessed. If you’ve ever driven through Dijon or anywhere over there, you’d know. You can imagine. It is beautiful
We Catholics know what a Devotion there is to the Mother of Jesus ( not worship) they have
Little known fact last year there were 250,000 French marching in the streets of Paris against gay marriage
The nfl saints use the flier de Los. It is religious. BSA too
I know, sarcasm is a low form of wit; but, honestly -- you couldn't make this stuff up.
This is the real life version of "If you give a mouse a cookie". These people are never satisfied. If the fleur de lis was removed from everywhere in Louisiana; the next day another "offensive" symbol would be found that would have to be destroyed.
I do notice, though, that no one ever looks at the little mascot for the Notre Dame football team -- The "Fighting Irish", and says, that depiction of an Irishman is really insulting. No, that one is just fine.
