    It's spot on.
    General Lee represents horrible things done to black people (your uncle who molested you)
    He's part of history and can't change it (your dreams will still haunt you)
    But maybe you don't want to be reminded of him everyday (ie take the statue down)


    Be careful with that "majority rules" mindset because before I'm dead there will be less white americans than there are any "other" type of americans.
    That's when the chickens will come home to roost.

      For the record, I don't care because I don't live or pay taxes in New Orleans
      the mayor can obviously get away with this because this is what his constituents want.

      You think the mayor of Vidor could get away with this???

        Guess what. There is not one person still alive from that time era. Your comparison is null and void.

            He was trying to make a point without attacking anyone personally like you'RE doing in your post.

              No, not having the statue won't change history, but you don't want to have a constant reminder of those times that he did those despicable things to you.

              Your uncle never molested me and was a great man, he even helped my mom change a tire when he saw her with a flat on the side of the road.
              Visited my dad everyday when he was in the hospital.
              He coached my little league baseball team.

              I say we should leave the statue of your uncle who molested you in your living room.
              Long way to get there, but the eagle has landed![emoji322]

              Actions of a tyrant & not a public servant.
              Ahhhh.....you missed one salient point.[emoji102] The lowest Americans were free 133 years ago and were the largest population in the city......with zero say so or voting rights about any public or civic activities! Just imagine if they had the ability to vote on erecting those statues......it would have never passed!!! Fast forward today the city is still majority AA......("i agree it should have went to vote").......but they would have come down either way as the vote would have been to remove them.

                No. He was pulling a drive by pot stirring, like he always does.

                  You can make a point without bringing in molesting a family member. No need to even make that comparison in this situation.

                    How can a mayor & council make a decision such as this on their own without the voice of the people?? That statue has value & they should be allowed to destroy 'the people's money'??

                    They should have auctioned it off and had winner bidder responsible for removal. Saved money and statue would go somewhere good (Maybe).
                    They are probably going to sell it for scrap.

                    not enough VOTING RESIDENTS of the city of New Orleans gives a care about this stature
                    You see the above link?
                    They fought Sean tooth and nail before they let him proceed
                    Actually, I'm sure it was a bunch of money exchanged behind the scenes over a very long period of time

                    Long story short, the voting residents of New Orleans did NOT want that NYCer coming down and opening a business in their hood so they got vocal about it and fought it

                    The exact opposite with what is going on with this statue

                    Maybe the city will auction it off and TBH can get together and buy it???

                      That may be the case, but he at least didn't make a personal attack on someone over an internet discussion.

                      If he's wrong then argue it the way you did in your response. Calling someone an idiot doesn't prove any point.

                        He's proven that point many times over again

                          You have twelve 80 year old men making a decision about what 20 year old women should do with their bodies.

                          Slippery slope....
                          ...don't ever screw with my quotes again in such serious matters. I don't want anyone to think I posted the crap that is between your ears. Pitiful.


                          Grant may represent negative tones to you, but not to the others that actually follow history & want to preserve it, not change or erase it. He was against slavery.

                            Touchy touchy...

                            You do understand that slavery to some AA = a family member molesting them, right?

                            You ever seen pics and videos of a slave that's been whipped with their skin burst open on their back?
                            That's kinda what REL represents to them
                            A time and a place they care not to remember

                            Just like a 45 year old man would care not to remember horrible things his father or uncle did to him at 5 years old


                            You think Penn State was wrong for removing statues of Joe Pa and the guy he KNOWINGLY let continue to do bad things to lil boys?

                            History is history but you don't want it to be in your present.

                            Find a new way to govern because the minorities will actually be MAJORITIES within the next 70 years

                              My first comment still stands and thanks for proving my point even further. If an AA compares slavery that happened long ago to molestation then my comment goes for them as well. Not sure how anybody could make that comparison but I shouldn't be surprised with the crap you continually come up with.

                                No group in NO has ever made a big stink about the monuments in the past 100 years.
                                Very likely most of the city never gave them a second thought and probably most had no idea what or who they represent.
                                This is puse socialist leaders wanting to disturb people
