Now The Symbol Of New Orleans Is Considered Racist

Why is this country trying to demolish individualism? It seems like we're being pushed into believing everything and everyone is equal. I fear that we're being turned into mindless drones where everything is normal and if you oppose it then you're the "weird one." Orwell is becoming less and less of a fiction writer: War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.

Because INDIVIDUALS don't have to be attached to the teet of government to survive.

If you're dependent in some way (and hell with Obamacare we all are whether we want to be or not), you better vote right to keep the right sugar daddy in power, handing out the scraps from his table.

Too many people gave up freedom and a self-reliant life for a so-called guaranteed (and very meager), government-funded exisitance...

The "offended party" aka Black people aren't talking about this or sharing this. I've only seen the article posted by White people and never by a major news source. This won't gain any steam like I said before. Most people outside of Mississippi and Louisiana don't even know it's called a fleur-de-lis or anything about its origins. This is nothing like the Confederate flag. Don't fret.

Geez, learn some history, bro

... the French were all over the Great Lakes region and the Ontario/Quebec provinces during the 1600's - 1800's and the fleur-de-lis is a well known symbol that appears on many flags, monuments, buildings, et ... throughout.
