You understand the love they have for Robert E. Lee?
There's roads named after the guy in New Orleans, and that city is like 70% black. Obviously people love the guy. I don't know anything about him, but I understand that he's an important historical figure.

Do you think the Black population has anything to do with naming those streets, which were named during Jim Crow?
reply
Do you think the majority Black population in New Orleans (politicians, police, government officials of varying importance) lack the ability to make such a simple change?

Stop being so disrespectful - answering questions with questions that try to make a point, but really only displays the fact that you've read nothing and know very little about Louisiana (or southern) politics. You answer my question first.

Wasn't disrespectful. It was a valid response to your condescending question. You obviously have a chip on your shoulder, so I'm done talking to you.
reply
That's mature (intended condescention).
Major chip on his shoulder
He should change his user name but he leads with his chin and chip on his shoulder
Oh man, I thought you were talking to me.
I thought I had done something wrong.
reply
Haha. Not at all. You ask questions to seek knowledge and understanding. That person is trying to make a point, but is only displaying ignorance on the subject. This irks me. Louisiana politics has always been particularly corrupt and acutely racist.
Hell they are in the news with unconstitutional religious bullshit right now!
Probably not.
And names of streets dont really change, do they?
reply
They do.

Then it is still possible to rename the streets :)
I thought historical streets would have a hard time doing that.

Since 2020, there has been the renaming of U. S. Army bases, schools, streets, etc. But there has been and currently is push back.
and the love they have for the confederate flag.
