New Orleans Saints Fleur de Lis Logo Now Being Called Racist
We already know how President Obama and the majority of liberals feel about the Washington Redskins. The nickname is racist, they won’t be allowed to go forward with
a new stadium if they don’t change the name, blah, blah.
What’s intersting is what is now being considered “offensive” in the NFL.
Apparently, the fleur de lis, a staple on the side of the New Orleans Saints’ helmet, is now racist.

Remember, nobody found it racist until the left says it is so.

“As an African I find it painful, and I think people whose ancestors were enslaved here may feel it even harder than I do as an African,” said slave historian Dr. Ibrahima Seck
to WWLTV.
He connects the usage of the fleur de lis, to “code noir,” or black code, which was adopted in Louisiana in 1724, and used to govern to state’s slave population.
