New Orlean Saints need to change their symbol

What do the New Orlean’s flag, women’s fraternity Kappa Kappa Gamma and the New Orleans Saints have in common? They all are represented by a symbol that could be considered racist — the fleur de lis.

According to a slave historian who spoke to WWL-TV in Louisiana, the popular symbol was once used to mark slaves, in particular those who attempted to run away.

Does any of this really help end bigotry?

Can we legislate bigotry away?

A shopper perusing the merchandise at the Redwood Country Flea Market was so offended by a vendor selling Confederate and Nazi historical memorabilia, the person actually called 911.

Wallingford, Connecticut police were dispatched to the flea market to investigate.

The police chief William Wright tells News 8 “the reason no one was arrested was because the items were being sold on private property” — not to mention no laws were broken.

LOL

Would throwing all these people in jail help end bigotry?
