"Racial activist" demands that DC be renamed, and statue of Jackson in New Orleans be removed

Anyone know who Andrew Jackson was?

If you graduated from a public high school after 1980 it's almost certain that the only thing you know is that he's a figure from American history.  And if you've ever been to New Orleans you may know that there's a square named after him.

In the middle of that square is a statue of Jackson. 

Well...now a racial "activist" is screaming that he demands that the statue be destroyed.

Oh, and he wants Washington D.C. to be renamed.

If you have trouble believing that anyone would seriously demand that Washington be renamed, you haven't been paying attention.
