Why not just say what you meant? I let it be known where I stand, why I stand where I stand, and what I base it on. Why not you just say what you mean when you said "you people"?

Oh geeze.
I meant the whiners; the self-absorbed. It was a "dog whistle"!
It was bait for those whose feelings are always vulnerable. Those that dwell on the distant past.
What did you think I meant?
At least you are paying attention!

Well, if the city votes for the statue to be removed, I won't be sad one bit.

The Civil War should be looked at as a mistake. The Confederacy shouldn't be forgotten. However, it should never be elevated to a place of honor.

Take 'Em Down NOLA says Andrew Jackson's statue must go | NOLA.com

Quote:
To demonstrate its frustrations at the pace of progress and the limited scope of the city's plan to address the problem, Take 'Em Down NOLA plans to march to the Andrew Jackson statue in Jackson Square Sept. 24 with ropes in hand. That plan was announced by member Malcolm Suber at Take 'Em Down NOLA's Thursday night (Sept. 15) meeting and it was reiterated by speakers who followed him.

7 arrested during monument protests at Jackson Square | NOLA.com

Quote:
The juxtaposition of drumbeats and chants of "No justice, no peace" filled the air on Saturday afternoon (Sept. 24) as hundreds marched toward Jackson Square in an act of protest against the four New Orleans monuments honoring Civil War era figures. For more photos from the protest, click here.

Take 'Em Down NOLA arrived at Jackson Square at 2:17 p.m., where a horse-mounted New Orleans Police patrol blocked access to the Andrew Jackson monument. At one point, protesters could be heard chanting, "We can't get no satisfaction until you take down Andrew Jackson," and some threw liquid-filled balloons at the NOPD command vehicle and spattered EMS Deputy Chief Ken Bouvier of EMS.

And after the statues are all gone, then everybody will be happy, right?

Bullying cities with threats of violence will only make things worse for Blacks.
Clearly, pulling down historic statues won't improve their image. But maybe that's not a concern.

Dude, both sides lost. Your insistence on recreating the conflict is a non-starter. Grow up.
