Robert E. Lee was a traitor, a brute and a slaver who wouldn't even trade black union soldiers taken prisoner for the lives of his own men because he saw black people as property to be owned.https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/06/the-myth-of-the-kindly-general-lee/529038/ …

Legit Freudian slip.

They are our history for better or worse. You don't get to white wash this while statues of stalin litter our country. I can't help that you people can't handle our history or the significance of these people.
-
Acknowledging history is one thing, celebrating or commemorating it (which the erecting of statues is reserved for) is another. That part of American history needs no visible art piece in the likeness of its leaders. It only should be remembered so as not to repeat it.

You should have been there when they put Arthur Ashe on the Avenue. The whining was incessant. Then they put Lincoln at Tredegar and it was treated by some as worse than Pearl Harbour. So glad I was able to move.
-
I still cannot believe they actually allowed that.
-
I still can’t believe they haven’t gotten over a war they lost against our nation.
-
That was their glory days and except for a few cities...Atlanta, Charlotte...they refuse to take a risk in the future.
-
The South never had glory days. It was a plantation economy with a very few rich who basically owned everything and everyone built on slavery and the majority of very poor white people who were kept uneducated, hateful, racist and hungry.



-
Sadly they have been trying to revert the S & convert the N to the economic model of a few rich owning & controlling everything & everyone.They have succeeded in creating more poverty & lessening the wealth and security of the middle class through ignorance hate, sexism & racism.

They are not finished yet.

Many of those statues did not go up until the mid-20th Century, at the time the civil rights movement was ramping up. Those statues were never intended as a tribute to the past. They were a nefarious message to the present.

@MayorLandrieu gave a magnificent speech making that very point about the “Cult of the Lost Cause” when the city took down its monuments. https://youtu.be/csMbjG0-6Ak pic.twitter.com/3MQ6YQUr3y

History isn't ALL good. But it's simply that...history. As in, it's behind us. What snowflake is letting a statue control their emotions? Focus on things that really matter instead of constantly talking about crap like this, to keep a racial divide going.
-
What snowflake would let the removal of a statue control their emotions? If it's really in the past, then it should be no big deal if the statue is removed.
