Real Confederate flag car

The Lee statue is still up on Monument Avenue (along with ones of Davis, Jackson, Stuart, and Maury). They added a statue of Arthur Ashe, who was a native of Richmond. Richmond is a city that is very conflicted about WBTS history, and the black “leaders” and Democrat machine constantly agitate to destroy anything Confederate, but if they tried to touch those statues on Monument Avenue there would be hell to pay.

Now when I lived in Richmond in the late ‘90s, a city councilman *did* incite his black constituents to vandalize a mural of Robert E. Lee on the city’s James River floodwall. He suffered no repercussions from it.

In the future it will be The Dykes of Hazzard.

Thanks. You just helped me decide AGAINST retiring to Virginia.

I’m a California native who has been dreaming of living in Virginia for about 20 years. I have been seeing Virginia turn purple due to the malignant beltway cancer. I’ve been wondering how long before Virginia goes liberal. Sounds like it is.

I guess it is off to retirement in Tennessee for me. Damn, I wanted to retire in Virginia. Yet another crushed dream.

Damn.

I am on the verge of hating my nation. I already hate my government and hate my politicians. I hate half the electorate. The only good liberal is a dead liberal. The way the country is going, I am on the verge of hating my nation. I never thought it was possible.

Thanks, Moose! I remember hearing of the controversy from back in ‘95. I saw an online article from ‘96 that stated that the Lee statue, along with the other Virginia Confederates, is still up. As you say the Ashe statue was added.

Is that car a Dixie Can?
