He was the fort’s most famous prisoner.
These idiots want to erase our history.

what history?
Yes he is! A whole new league of SLEAZY!!
Kate Smith, murals, Confederates, Washington, Jefferson, statues...
Raise your hand if you think it stops here?

Now, what about removing Al Jolson from the Governor’s Mansion?
Every time a racist Democrat screws up my ancestors legacy pays for it.
I see what you did there!
I call for his removal as governor.

He was a black Virginian, a trail blazer for what he is known for.
He was the first person in the colonies to legally own slaves.
Yes, the first person to own slaves in the now USA and Virginia was a black man.
Coonman STILL hasn’t resigned?
The guy who supports killing babies who are born alive? He’s outraged over some stones?
