I had a major bone to pick with the Dayen article you linked:<br /><br />"But Sanders couldn’t get past his mindset: that if you fix economic <br />inequality in America, social justice will naturally follow. Historical <br />experience doesn’t show this; Bland was an educated black woman went to <br />Texas for a job interview and three days later, was found dead in her <br />jail cell. Countries in Europe with high degrees of state spending to <br />reduce inequality continue to have racially motivated problems with <br />immigrant communities. The critique doesn’t hold."<br /><br />Tell that to color of Change and all the other progressive groups that send me emails asking me to support the latest effort to make the 1% .(or at least the comfortable end of the lopsided barbell*) look like the rest of the country. Those emails usually include references to recent injustices, either implying or outright stating that economic equality is a necessary for racial justice.<br /><br />*Because even though Progressives continually describe an economy that's turned into <a href="http://www.cepr.net/blogs/beat-the-press/david-brooks-primitive-defense-of-the-rich?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+beat_the_press+(Beat+the+Press)" rel="nofollow">a zero sum game for most of us</a>, the best they can usually come with is plans to make the comfortable end of the lopsided barbell look like the uncomfortable end.bayoustjohndavidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5976758.post-11476757066971871102015-07-21T19:55:41.918-05:002015-07-21T19:55:41.918-05:00Sorry if it's confusing.

As governor he opposed the Louisiana Lottery and fought corruption. Like many of his class he was a slave owner and supported the Confederacy.<br /><br /><br />Benjamin Palmer was a noted orator, theologian and a major figure in the <br />city for almost half a century and was recognized for ministering to <br />people during a Yellow Fever epidemic. He also fought the Louisiana <br />Lottery. Prior to and during teh Civil War he did speak eloquently on behalf of the south and slavery. <br /><br /><br />John Caldwell Calhoun had been dead for over a decade before the Civil War. He had been a major national political figure during his <br />life. He served as Vice President of the United States under J. Q. <br />Adams, and Jackson, and held cabinet positions under<br /> presidents Monroe and Tyler. He served in the U S House of <br />Representative and U S Senate. That resume should be enough to get a few<br /> things named after him.<br /><br /><br /><br />General Albert Pike was a general in the Confederate Army for <br />less than 6 months with a less than spectacular record, in fact he was charged with theft, insubordination and treason, but lacking solid proof was allowed to resign. It seems more <br />likely that he was recognized for his post war accomplishments, <br />especially his devotion to freemasonry.mominemnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5976758.post-16419939727338096862015-07-21T15:52:42.139-05:002015-07-21T15:52:42.139-05:00The idea is that there's no principled place t...The idea is that there's no principled place to stop once you start removing historic monuments. I don't think either you or Adrastos have really addressed that.

A planned encounter designed to trigger a legal argument. The planners were called the Comité des Citoyens, a citizens group "made up of “civil libertarians, ex-Union soldiers, Republicans, writers, a former Louisiana lieutenant governor, a French Quarter jeweler and other professionals.” That sounds a bit like the NOLA blogging community. I think you are better placed to make some progress renaming Lee Circle as Plessy Circle than you think. Maybe have a panel at Rising Tide with some invited historians and urban planners. I think in pretty short order you could have a website, a design competition with a crowd funded prize, some events related to Homer Plessy at Lee Circle, all with the same effort required to post bad holiday videos or ruminations on potholes. I'd pledge $50 to the effort. Hell, I'd pay $50 for a compilation of Yellow Blog food posts rebranded as Plessipes.
