Re: Now The Symbol Of New Orleans Is Considered Racist
This is now a mute issue. Sounds like the City and all those that want the symbols removed are now going to cash in on slavery yet again. So much for complaining about old wounds. time to make us some money
Slave ship museum? wth is going on down there I would think if adding Slavery attractions to the tourist industry would only be accented even more things like Lee Circle. The whole story is told. Hypocrisy taken to the extreme. If this does not get you a legal reason to block any and all removals of civil war veterans I do not know what would. Inclusion is better than subtraction when dealing with equality. lawyers hate it but the truth is plain to see |

Seeing how the federal government is making people do the above, I'd say personal preogative and freedom is being taken away from the people. I may be off base, but isn't that the type of thing that started the Revolutionary and Civil War? States being able to govern their own laws. |

Your third example queries whether a State can enact legislation to override federal law and discriminate against an entire class of people by denying them the ability to enter into the contract of marriage. In fact, I don't really understand your point. I think we can all agree that Junior Galette is a d*ck though. |
