For fear of introducing something a bit politically (and highly charged) to these forums ... whatever, here we go: https://www.buzzfeed.com/mjs538/statueney

 

Also, that photo of her in the lacy bodysuit with her female dancers - bitch looks like a straight up Barbie doll wig fucking snatched.

In case you missed it, there's a push to replace or take down Confederate monuments throughout the United States...which, like, yes. About time.

And now someone has come up with an excellent plan for what to do with all the new space in New Orleans in the places where Confederate monuments once stood.

For backstory: New Orleans removed its remaining Confederate monuments in May.

Here's what's happening: A genius and humanitarian is petitioning the governor of Louisiana to replace those old Confederate statues with ones of Louisiana native, living legend, and vocalist Britney Spears.

And honestly, it makes total sense.

Who would want a statue of this stupid racist horse and some dusty old dude...

...when you could have a statue of someone with two diamond albums, a successful Las Vegas residency, and 287 perfumes?

It would be a huge upgrade to replace this problematic man with a statue of the gorgeous and unproblematic princess of pop.

Those Confederate losers could never.

But seriously though, imagine seeing a statue of someone this inspiring and gorgeous every damn day. I can see the positive community influence and impact now. It's beautiful.

New Orleans would be seriously upgrading its stuffy old aesthetic...

The petition sums up my feelings on this issue best: "Do the right thing: Replace the Confederate statues with an actual Louisiana hero and influential human being, Britney Spears."

You can see the petition for yourself here. And yes, I realize New Orleans has already gotten rid of its Confederate monuments. This is a plan for their replacement. Thank you and Britney Spears outsold.

I really don't think an important part of history should be destroyed. The statues should have been kept in place.

 

But I'd really love to see a statue of Britney somewhere! She deserves it!

This is why I didn't want to share it, but I'll just say I strongly disagree with the first part.

Should we have also left the "Whites Only" signs above drinking fountains and bathrooms, since they're a part of history?

I see your point, because there's politics involved and ppl tend to have strong political opinions. I still think that because of Britney it's worth sharing

Signs are different. They are cheaper to remove and to transport to museums

You're not going to like my petition to have the Statue of Liberty replaced with Britney then!

but they are a part of history. Why would you remove that? :wyd:

Signs are meant to inform ppl about something. For example: does a "whites only" rule still exist there? If yes, the signs stay. If no, then the signs have no purpose in their original places and would be more useful in museums

tell me the difference on what isis are doing and the americans right now with the statues.

They're destroying statues and Americans are moving them to museums or in storage? It's a massive difference and to suggest they're the same is to note that you don't understand why they shouldn't have been put up in the first place. ISIS is in "burn everything down" mode because fuck society. Black people in America are wondering why they're surrounded by statues put up mainly during the Jim Crow era to reinforce whites > blacks and celebrate traitors and the old south. Contrary to popular misunderstanding, these statues were NOT originally placed as markers of history, especially when statues exist that say "In celebration of white supremacy" or are of just plain ole slave owners. BIG difference.  

 

Anyway, take em all down and put Britney in their place, I'm here for it.

as much as I'd like it if there was a statue of Brit there, I think it's kind of nonsense since there are bigger icons than her who are way more respected, idk

lmao it is. There are definitely historical figures from that state who are very, very deserving of statues/monuments.
