00:00It is amazing, in 2015, I'm fighting Robert E. Lee.

00:07This is, it's almost hilarious.

00:09Those statues never should have been erected.

00:12The South lost.

00:14Let's take down these statues and put them in a place of proper remembrance, not reverence.

00:19Four monuments to the Confederacy are set to come down in New Orleans.

00:22The vote is considered one of the most sweeping moves by a U.S. city to cut ties with Confederate history.

00:28But that's not what happened.

00:29That's not what happened.

01:19Why, why do you think that?

01:21I don't know, because...

01:23Why do you hold that hope out, that illusion?

01:26These stories are coming out, so I think we're in a different portal of time,

01:29that these things are not going to be swept under the rug any longer.
