A photo of Governor Bill Lee has surfaced depicting him wearing a Confederate uniform while attending an "Old South" party with his fraternity, Kappa Alpha.
The yearbook page in the "Greek Life" section features a caption saying:
"...KA is based on the ideals that its founding fathers saw exemplified in their college president, Robert E. Lee. These ideals constituted the frame and fabric of Southern Culture and include chivalry, valor, loyalty and reverence for womankind. It is for this reason that KA at Auburn Univ. each spring has a week long celebration of the grandeur and glory of the OLD SOUTH."

The guy from Star Trek Continues? What happened?
My son was in a Civil War reinactment unit while in college and a few years afterwards. He had uniforms for both sides (north and south) and his unit would portray which ever side an event needed. They were not playing a part to support a side or cause, they were just interested in history and an historical period. He researched his ancestors on both sides of the family who fought for opposite sides and wrote a book about them. And he is proud of all of them.
He should NEVER have apologized!
NOTHING to apologize for!
His only move now is seppuku.
Much unlike Southern Klan Democrat Governuh Northam.
I am so sick of these perpetually offended pearl clutchers. They have absolutely nothing to do. They have no problems to solve. They constantly look for offense. It’s time to stop apologizing to them. I’m done tiptoeing around, hoping I don’t offend some fragile SJW. If we all stopped apologizing, maybe they find something else to do.
The one exception was that the Union government lost its ability to collect tariffs.
The only man with the power to conduct war said in his inaugural speech that war would not happen if the South paid up.
War came.
sigh, Well this did happened in the deep south, he probably wouldn’t of dared wore a yankee uniform to the party.
Every KA did this. My brother has photos just like it. They were professionally done. They had nothing to do with racism. Someone needs to tell these people to FO and then stand firm. The idea was the traditional values of ladies and gentlemen. Truly customs lost to generation snowflake.
Apparently someone at USA Today has been combing through Republican yearbooks (900 so far) and finding these things.
Fixed it for ya...
How many minutes was that “short time”?
Lee needs to man up. I’m sick and tired of our feckless Tennessee politicians. I even hate driving to the airport on Lamar Alexander Parkway! Corker. Now Lee is wussing out?
Exactly and happy turkey and zombie hunting to ya.......;)
Why inject historical facts and reality into the conversation? What's wrong with you?
The “black community” is a hate group.
The 5% who are not haters are excluded from the community
Thanks for fixin’ it. It was late and my brain was running on all cylinders. :-)
Note how Booker T. Washington referred to post war race relations among the Southern peoples in the generation after the Confederacy!
Why is the Governor willing to buy into a lying narrative; one which actively promotes hatred between the races? (Because that is what is in play!) Why?!
Something around 120,960.
