Bread and circuses are often enough to distract the masses from the more serious shortcomings of government. And so it is that the pandering to Black Lives Matter and politically correct college student demonstrators serve to help them forget that they are poorly educated, poorly served and just plain poor.
In the city of New Orleans, with so many other more important issues, the city council has voted to remove statues of Confederate civil war heroes in order to placate loud mouthed whiners who are “offended” by the statues, rather than deal with the real problems the city faces.
The monuments are of Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, P.G.T. Beauregard, and the Battle of Liberty Place. They mark historical figures and events that cannot be erased. The city council voted 6 – 1 for their removal, and declared them public nuisances.
It is estimated that removal will cost $170,000, and all of the arguments made by groups hoping to keep the monuments in place were judged by the city council to be “frivolous,” “entirely without merit,” or “made no sense.” One wonders about other moments in history that various segments of society will find offensive and move to have them erased.

We are all losing now.
There is no cure for STUPIDITY !!!
WTF is wrong with these people… Erasing history is stupid.
Assholes!!
One of my mom’s grandfathers to was 1/2 Cherokee. My
grandmother ( his daughter ) told me of
how many insults her
father got because they were 1/2 Cherokee. Among other things he was
called ” a dirty Indian”. He was told the only good Indian
was a dead one. So you see not just black
people were mistreated.
This is just wrong. History is who we are, it helps a nation to know where they were and who they were.. History can not be changed. This level of poor judgement and poor leadership frightens me.. Look at the cities we are wittnessing being distroyed by poor leadership. Etc. Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore, New York, Atlanta, Memphis, St. Louis, Gary, Ind. New Orleans all these and more are victims of poor judgement and poor leadership. Even a dumb jackass will not deficate in his own food trough…
