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."

If there’s a fund to send people back to Africa I’ll chip in a few dollars.

Remove Roosevelt. He interned the Japanese. Remove Truman. He dropped the bomb.

This why you do not surrender an inch to Commies. No matter what you surrender, it is never enough.

In a way it is a relief to not have Lee and Jackson’s statues subjected to that cesspool.

Whites will only be pushed so far and then they will harden their attitudes and become a more unified & hardened group.
There is no “White Privilege” beyond which the White race, as a group, has earned.

There is a group behind all of this, and I bet it is associated to Soros, and then to obama.
This crap has to stop , as we are seeing us living in near Orwellian times.

The mayor needs to get his priorities straight and re-name the Moonwalk. It was named for that racist Moon Landrieu. (He was a white male, so by definition he is racist).

This is what our side should be saying. Thank you, and hopefully others use that term to their friends, and on social media.

Lets go to West Virginia and cleanse that state of the name of the KKK Cyclops, Robert Byrd.
