From Feb. 10, 2016, Google Alerts for Confederate.
** Portsmouth councilman calls for cost estimate to remove Confederate monument. (Virginia) (Loss) We can only hope the estimate will be too much to spend. Otherwise, it's gone.
** Confederate monuments controversy ripples but doesn't roll Mardi Gras. (new orleans) The Lee and Beauregard statues "co-existed unobtrusively with Mardi Gras" for more than a century until 2016. Seen at this year's Mardi Gras were some monument-related maskers and one "homeless" Robert E. Lee on L:ee Circle replaced with Harry Lee, Bruce Lee, Sara Lee and Fleur-de-Lee.
Of course, next the Confederate-haters will won't anyone named Lee to change their name because it offends.
Some parade floats made light of the whole affair. Then there was the black kid who caught a Confederate Flag bead and was offended. I still say, I'll give him $5 for it.
