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.
Who is paying for monument removal, page 2:
Its pure stupidity

look what has happen under this administration .He has divided this nation farther apart than in decades. The President could have came out and said something like it our history and that would stop most of this removal of Confederate statue and monuments Were no better than ISIS destroying our past history. Now there should be removal of some other statues that offend white folks but wont happen it not political correct.

HEY LETS KEEP GOING, I’M TIRED OF LOOKING AT THE WHITE HOUSE. TEAR IT DOWN AND MAKE IT SMALLER TO SAVE MONEY ON THE ac. iT REMINDS ME AND EVERYBODY OF A COUNTRY BUILT BY WHITE MEN. LETS JUST TEAR DOWN EVERYTHING BUILT BY WHITE MEN AND BE HAPPY WITH WHAT MIGHT BE LEFT. MAYBE A HOUSE WITH DIRT FLOORS.
This is the same thing ISIS is doing in the Middle East. We need our history , good and bad. This is who we are. Doing this is destroying America , from the inside.
They are taking away our history.
This is all a monument to the pussification of America.
Brilliant, a city in debt will go further in debt to get a group to be quiet that doesn’t even pay any taxes to any government.
No historical monument should be removed for any reason let alone that it might offend some minority group.
