Remove the "symbols" and people will forget...and generations to come won't know...history, indeed. Food for thought.

Ask Germany if they've forgotten about Hitler. No monuments of him allowed in the country nor anything honoring his cult.

Exactly these are what museums are for. If you want to learn history go to one and read a book

It is about time New Orleans removed the offensive Confederate monuments. Sad the workers had to hide their identities.

That workers had to hide their identities proves the case that there is an unhealthy relationship with an imagined confederate legitimacy

And it's wrong. I shouldn't feed the troll, but most neo-Nazis are in former E Germany where Communists didn't confront truth of Nazism.

But tons in Russia, ironic since so many Russians were killed by Nazis.

It's not the 'crew's' fault because they're just following orders. The question is, what's their problem with their own history?!
-
Do you ask the same of Germans? there is a Confederate museum in New Orleans so history isn't being lost. Just not celebrating traitors.
-
Denazification is a different story if that's what the Germans here imply. There's no comparison between the Nazi and the Confederate regime
-
It's ok. Ignore that there is a museum, history isn't being lost, & the monument is literally (as in says so on it) one to white supremacy.

According to the mayor, this act symbolizes their 'diversity, inclusion and tolerance'. If they can show they mean it, this is unnecessary.

Monuments which honor racism, bigotry or hatred need not stand.

Starts with these statues-then we have to dismantle The Alamo-cause there will be an illegal alien who will find it offensive

Republicans mad about a statue that they've just heard of.
