With the race debate intensifying, there have been renewed calls for Confederate statues in Louisiana to be removed.
And in a creative twist, a petition has surfaced suggesting that they be replaced with statues of hometown hero Britney Spears.
Full story below…
As at writing, the Change.org petition has powered past the 24,000 signature mark.
Unpacking its rationale, the petition’s initiator Kassie Thibodeaux explained:
“Before becoming one of the world’s most important and influential pop legends, Britney Spears was living life in a small southern town by the name of Kentwood, Louisiana.
Not only has Britney proven her talent, but she’s proven her strength of character by not only overcoming highly publicized mental breakdown, but by continuously working towards improving herself. She’s an inspiration to millions.
While her contributions are too many to list here, below are a few examples of her charitable efforts to give back to her beloved home state:
– In 2006, “The Britney Spears Foundation” raised $585,000 for charity, and donated a large portion of it to Hurricane Katrina relief programmes.
– Teamed up with Red Cross in 2016 to raise money for Louisiana flood victims. Along with Ellen DeGeneres, donated $250,000 to this relief.
– Currently donating some of her Vegas ticket show sales to Louisiana schools for flood recovery. The money donated will be contributed to a state fund, which will help teachers purchase supplies and materials.
She’s already earned her star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame, and now it’s time for her home state to honor her with the tribute that she deserves.
Do the right thing: Replace the Confederate statues with an actual louisiana hero and influencial human being, Britney Spears.”
Given the controversial root of the Confederacy, are you down with Ms. Spears taking its spot in her hometown?
I support this 100%!
Better be the shave head version and holding an umbrella With a scary psychopath Face.
A statue of Nicki Minaj would be cute too
Nicki hasn’t accomplished 💩 except having 109 songs and only 1 hit number 1.
Hahaha funny to see that now..the internet is funny..now that she has a number 1 you can’t help but mention it
and 1000 flop features 😂😂
That beestung booteh would require too much plaster/ marble to make and too many reparations after mobs of hörny frat boys drunkenly ganghümp the s**** outta it. 😊
LMFAO!!!!!!!!! Omg! are you guys THIS delusional?
Did you read the article? It’s only in her home state of Louisiana. Not all across the country.
LMAO So you think people in Louisiana look at BRITNEY SPEARS as an humanitarian?! And the cringe “accolades” that the Brit fans are using in hopes that they build a statue. LMFAO. This would be a horrible decision, Let’s be honest if this were to ever happen (which it wont) the statue would be built because Britney fans wanted it, Not because she’s making a difference in the world ON ANY LEVEL. Build something with an actual impact. It for sure needs to be replaced
Maybe a statue of your mom would be more appropriate?
Mad your mom is so fat there’s not enough material for a statue?
Yes! Let’s get this done! Queen Britney deserves it! Knock that racist ass statue & replace with QUEEN BRIT!!
LOL @ the people saying he’d humanitarian accomplishments mean nothing. Sis, what have you done? Cas until you have the funds to match what she’s donated you really don’t have any right to criticize. Plenty of towns the world over have statues honouring local talent. Amy Winehouse has a statue in her hometown. This ain’t new. Britney absolutely deserves a statue.
LMAO “Plenty of towns the world over have statues” WTF are you even saying. Amy Winehouse is critically acclaimed. Britney is a washed up robot who doesn’t choreograph her own shi*, write her own shi*, sing her own shi*… LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shi! the girl can’t even live her own life. LOL!!! Everything is done for her. There are literally THOUSANDS of other candidates that deserve a national monument. Not Britney Spears. LMAO can’t believe this is even a conversation. Ya’ll lost ya mindsssss!
Yes! Knock that racist ass statue down! Replace with QUEEN BRITNEY!
Can we use the same energy for #FREEBRITNEY, the case is still ongoing and the next date is a status hearing on July 22nd. Once this woman regains her life back and IF she still wants to make music be prepared for what is to come she will have FULL CREATIVE CONTROL just like ITZ & BLACKOUT! Also keep in mind next album is HER TENTH. She deserves this break and hopefully she’ll regain her life back able to make her own desicions, we all know the conservatorship is only to keep her Dad & handlers paid. There’s no way she had Dementia 07’ she was 26 years old, they will pay for what they’ve done.
I believe people are still planning to protest outside the courthouse. The last hearing was continued because of C*******, so hopefully this one moves forward. She deserves her freedom and she clearly wants another baby with her boyfriend before she turns 40 as sources said months ago.
This is AMAZING. it absoluteky MUST happen
Hope they make some Bald Britney statues
I’m voting for the Quaker oatmeal man!!
Everyone saying “Yes, great idea!” obviously, aren’t residents of Louisiana. She’s a celebrity who has accomplished a lot in her career, maybe more than I’ll ever accomplish in life lol, but she is no “state hero”. Besides, this is Louisiana, there’s a Confederate statue standing in front of our courthouse in my city, our citizens voted to remove the statue a year ago and it’s still there… we, the citizens, can’t even VOTE these statues away, good luck getting them replaced with BS.
We don’t want any more white trash Statues. So no, we do not want to see Shîtney
Erect a MORE STIFF Britney? 😊
