Being discussed. Right now City of New Orleans focusing on renaming streets. But the day could come.

With ties to slavery, is fleur de lis next to go?

The Confederate flag is down. Will Louisiana's fleur-de-lis be the next to go? That's the question posed by some in Louisiana, who point to the emblem's previous connections to slavery.

The article you posted said the Fleur de Lis shouldn’t be removed.

Does the name change of Aunt Jemima's product change your quality of life in any way?

Yes, I'm planning to write a scathing letter and protest, like the pansies do.

Go read up on her family's thoughts about that name change tho.

You think black people and people who sympathize with them over hundreds of years of systemic oppression and racism are pansies?

But it’s being discussed .That was the point for or against.

I think wannabes who feel like they're saying all the right things to impress people, but in all actuality, are never seen genuinely interacting with those groups they are allegedly such activists for........ Are pansies.

Talk is cheap........ Actually be the change.

That article is quoting a professor who went through the history of the Fleur de Lis and ended up saying they shouldn’t remove it.
The Washington name saga has gone through decades of discussion and court cases. That hasn’t been done with the Fleur de Lis.

People are being the change. It's working, despite people like you fighting it at every turn.

Some of us are actually doing practical things for, and interacting with, people of all backgrounds....others are pansies who run their mouths and contradict statements they made even just from six months ago.

"Be the change" doesn't mean agree with every idea that comes up.

I “say all the right things” because it’s actually what I believe.

And I’m a white educator who works in a majority-minority school district with kids and families from exactly the backgrounds you’re talking about. I’m here because I choose to be.

What are you doing?

Kind of obsessed with



Anyway, a lot of your comments are inflammatory for no good reason. I'd ask the others don't engage in discussion like this.

We have a pretty good example of how to do this very close to right at Florida St. You don't even have to go the St. John's route.

Why is it so hard to replicate?

 

[guidomerkinsrules]

My god, the woketh are on a warpath. The level of pandering in this country is insane right now.

do y'all not believe in synonyms either?
what compels y'all to use the exact same buzzwords all of the time?

 

[guidomerkinsrules]

But in todays mob ruled world I suppose not.

it's actually spelled 'democracy'

your mob had a good run, maybe it's time to gracefully cede power

Change their name to the Washington Machines. Maybe even hire Fred Dryer to a front office position.
