Wish I would have known that was there when I was in New Orleans because I would have destroyed it myself.

I can't figure out where it was. If it's anywhere near the Quarter I must've passed it a million times.

It was at river end of Iberville St, between One Canal Place garage +floodwall. Obscure; you'd need 2know2 find it

I came across it when I was a teen and I was flabbergasted. I had no idea.

The dichotomy of New Orleans. We try2 make things right, but our failures canB spectacular #OnlyinNOLA

The folks who worship this type of monument bring as much value to history, heritage and America as do the morons who fly the rebel flag.

Thanks for demonstrating the racism and general incoherence of the GOP death cult that worships idols of the traitorous confederacy

Kind of curious though...what does "12 year old blacks breedin on white money" mean?

pretty sure the moe ron was not referring to Tamir Rice.

I get your point but I can't think of that child without tearing up.

America should be finished with this putrid ideology and its descendants, both ideas and people.

they need to keep that monument up so future generations can learn how fucked up the past was.

I lived in a confederate town for a while ... walking past proud racist monuments your neighbors support sucks.

They belong off public lands and off public streets. They say every day "this is not your town."

take them down but we need to remind younger generations how much worse things were.

agreed. Could start by fixing education down south so it's not all confederate propaganda!!!

And yet the city got death threats for removing that monument. Apparently not all as open minded.
