Entirely different argument and one that we're well past as it's 2017. since I wasn't present then, I feel no moral obligation to argue that point one way or the other.

I'm not running around saying remove every reference to the confederacy, but I'm also not wringing my hands over such symbols going the way of the dodo.
People who argue that they should be kept BECAUSE they are symbols of the Confederacy are playing into the hands of the jackasses who are pretending to be offended by these things. They should remain in place because they are beautiful pieces of artwork that have become, over long periods of time, iconic landmarks of the City of New Orleans.

Thanks, wizziko.
Interesting.
He still wants to charge tolls for us to enter the city?

What have I whined about itt? 
I'm in an incredibly good mood, regardless of whether monuments remain or are removed.

The majority of the people in this thread are "whining" because this whole ordeal has been a complete and utter joke and an embarrassment to the city

not that I'm aware of. I've been listening to him for about a year and he hasn't brought it up to my knowledge

Whiners usually think they have good reasons for their whining. I don't really care about how you choose to justify it or not tbh.
The stink made over the monuments was overblown. So is the backlash.

I'm glad they are gone. The guilt I used to have passing that Lee monument when I lived in NO was painful. Such a slap in the face to the fine African-American community. It fostered despair that the image of such a man was raised high over the city knowing what he had done to fight to retain the institution of slavery. I will not be surprised at all to see the crime rate start to drop now. It's a psychological thing.

I hope Mitch dies choking on his own blood the second the worker touches Lee's statue.

But it's DIFFERENT because.... "muh monuments!"
Who the frick gives a shite. Good lord. Put 'em in a museum and move on, Jesus Christ.

Yeah, if it wasn't for them there would be no ghetto thugs, out of wedlock children, communities making their living off govt handouts, etc.... Maybe people should be more worried about cleaning up their own acts and their communities than wasting their time destroying something that has no bearing on them.

Ok...can we unpack this?
What to do then? If the stink to take them down was overblown, then what does that mean? That there should have been no opposite response? That any opposite response would, by definition, also been overblown?
My point is, there was a starting point for all this. The starting point was the, as you just stated, overblown nature of the offensiveness of these statues.
Unless you're suggesting that these folks should have simply gotten their way with no response at all, even though they were overblown in their desire to remove them, I'm not following. It seems like if that's the way things work, anyone can essentially get any asinine thing done because to oppose them will be seen as whining about the alternative.
