The NAACP in Lee County, Florida wants to picket the county over a portrait of General Robert E. Lee that hangs in the commission chambers because they deem displaying Lee's image to be racist. "It's a symbol of racism and division," Lee County NAACP President James Muwakkil said. According to Fox 4, "Muwakkil sent a letter to Lee County commissioners in early July, asking them to take down the portrait, but they voted to keep it up." On Sunday, Muwakkil fired off an email saying, "General Lee did not believe blacks should hold any positions in government." Muwakkil is reportedly "brainstorming with the state NAACP President ways to move forward, which could include a sit-in at the chambers, picketing and protesting." The state NAACP is supporting Muwakkil's efforts.

Then don’t look at the pic, Obamahole.
We’ve had it with your Muslim-like intolerance.
Why not go to a country with a society and success rate that appears to match your 6th century thinking.
Shove it, NAACP, shove it deep up your smelly Obama.
And STFU.
The African-Americans I know are too busy being successful to listen to your pile or racise cr*p.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
“General Lee did not believe blacks should hold any positions in government.”
And has been proven to be true.
WHEN will these asshats stop this nonsense, WHEN?
He was a prophetic man.
My Filipino bud loves General Lee. You should see him argue his point with idiot white liberal-guilt ridden whiteboy libtards and idiot blacks.
Until they stop using the racist term “colored people” in their name, I don’t think we need to pay any attention to what the NAACP thinks is racist.
Why don’t blacks want the Lincoln Memorial torn down Lincoln was no fan of blacks either, he was going to send them back .
What does the National Association for the Advancement of White People have to say???
OH WAIT....
That would be racist, wouldn’t it?
Why doesn’t someone in the NAACP take a look at Woodrow Wilson’s record on race and get back to us.
or maybe LBJ’s....I’ll have those -——— voting dimocrat for the next 100 years!
What a bunch of maroons. Lee didn’t even support slavery.
Lee banned in Lee County.
“General Lee did not believe blacks should hold any positions in government.”
Given the situation of any government run by blacks I’d say General Lee was a wise man.
Nor did President Lincoln, General Grant, and practically the entire Union Army. So, his point is? The first and for many years only place where this occurred in the United States was in the states of the former Confederacy during Reconstruction. General Lee would have had black members of government representing him in government.
Yeah, you thinskinned layabouts have nothing better to do than imitate the sharpetons and jaksons of the world and scream racism (you-hates-n***ahs) at every opportunity.
Display the old Confederate Flag = rasis. Put up a portrait of Robert E. Lee = rasis. I feel I must mention purely as an aside that I have a rather tanned neighbor whose name is Robert Lee, by the wye. Shoot a thug or a thug-in-training who states quite clearly that he intends to kill you = rasis.
But fly the Liberian flag, a nation of freed slaves who owned slaves themselves and not only will you not even encounter a raised eyebrow, but if you try to point it out to these race-hustlers and it's pish-tosh, wave you away, don't want to be bothered.
Frauds. Mooselimbs.
Why do these racist bigots think that every issue should be settled their way.
Robert E. Lee was a great man, and a good one. Can these fools say the same about themselves?
