Stupid jerks.
Respect history.
He was a man that made a tremendous impact on history, believed in foolish things, and can serve as a tool of enlightenment and acknowledgement.
Things not to do.
There are positive things in negative history. So sick of the perpetually offended.
What we got here is more like a negative thing in positive history. The idea of Jef Davis getting panned in Dallas makes sense because back when Austin seceded folks from Dallas went north and joined the U.S. Army. It was controversial; Sam Houston hated secession and felt betrayed but south Texas was southern. North and west Texans even today have much less of a southern accent. No kudzu there either.
But Texans have been united for a long time. Recently on Memorial Day I was at an old cemetery near Waco and someone had planted American flags on the veteran's graves --including the graves of the CSA vets. My Texan Marine son-in-law said "they fought for their country too".
