IIRC, Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson did also.

Neither one did actually. But now that you have mentioned him I suppose that the NAACP will have to pickett Jackson County, Florida next.

The very act of BEING white will someday be a hate crime.

Was Jackson even a slaveowner? I know he held a position as a teacher at a military school in Virginia (I believe that school was a predecssor to VMI). I was not aware that he even owned any land or a plantation.

Obviously, another historical fact that escapes race baiters: most of the people who fought on the Confederate side of the war were NOT slave owners, mainly because slaveowners were in the minority, and slaveowners were largely exempted from Confederate conscription laws passed as the war went on (mostly because leaders feared large numbers of increasingly rebellious slaves being held on planatations where there was no male presence to keep order).

Lee didn’t believe blacks should hold positions of power? Neither does the democrat party. If fact the democrat party didn’t even want their votes until the republicans passed the Civil Rights Bill.

Yes. He was a slave owner the day he died.

I know he held a position as a teacher at a military school in Virginia (I believe that school was a predecssor to VMI). I was not aware that he even owned any land or a plantation.

Most slave owners didn't own plantations. Slavery was very much a middle-class institution and most slaves didn't work in the fields. They worked in the houses as maids, cooks, gardeners, grooms, what have you. The number of slaves that Jackson owned at any one time varied, but it was as many as seven or eight.

Dey be graspin fo relevancy.

They should have been more concerned with Robert E. Byrd (Deceased - WV).

I once fired a guy for sleeping in the janitor’s closet instead of working. His mama was head of the NAACP so he was reinstated and I was called on the carpet.
