The Crescent City unwrites history by removing Confederate monuments
BarkGrowlBite | December 19, 2015
By a vote of 6-1, the New Orleans city council voted Thursday to remove four Confederate monuments, including statues of Gen. Robert E. Lee, Confederate President Jefferson Davis and local hero Gen. Pierre Gustave Toutant Beauregard.
Thus the city council voted to unwrite history and break any ties the Crescent city ever had to the Confederacy. They caved into the demands of a small rabble of black activists and far-left whites.
I’ll venture to say that most of the blacks in New Orleans don’t have the foggiest notion of who Robert E. Lee, Jefferson Davis and Pierre Gustave Toutant Beauregard were. To them the statue of Lee is just some guy on a horse that the pigeons shit on.
I seriously doubt that the average African-American is reminded of slavery or offended at the sight of a statue of Robert E. Lee.
Those who unwrite or rewrite our shameful history have no shame!
