Impatient protesters begin digging up Confederate general’s grave themselves

A group of anti-Confederate protesters aren’t happy enough with the declaration by the city of Memphis that it wants to dig up and move the remains of Confederate general Nathan Bedford Forrest.

They want it done now.

A group surrounded a shovel Wednesday and ceremoniously removed a chunk of grass and soil.

Disgusting

Has the world gone insane?

Historical illiteracy at its finest.

Perhaps a plaque should be added to General Forrest’s grave commemorating his repentance for founding the KKK and tireless work late in life against racial violence and on behalf of African Americans.

and your opinion means nothing.

Thanks for sharing.

We should’ve picked our own cotton.

Not when you’re On The Right Side of History (hat tip to Marx and Lenin)

Wow. You got taking down the battle flag and Nazis in the same post. I’m surprised that you lower yourself to live in the South.

My white ancestors came to America as indentured servants. All were cotton pickers right up to my grandparents who picked cotton as sharecroppers until the dust bowl brought them out west ala Grapes of Wrath

Has the ‘cartoon’ made the rounds and arrived here -

A message saying ‘Bayer(?) Aspirin’ has to quit putting the cotton in the bottle because people were being traumatized ‘picking cotton’ in order to get to the aspirin?

[xrmusn]

Bet there was a lot of ‘shovel leaning’, small talk, and smoking.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = =

That would lend to the idea that the City or Federal GOVERNMENT was paying them.

[Gator113]

You have reason to be very proud of their bravery, hard work and success.

[Gator113]

LOL - I hadn’t heard that one.

Hey if the leftists and the blacks want to play the dig up the Reb game we have thousands of dead Yankees laying around Richmond battlefield graveyards. Two can play that game and we got no shortage of back hoes.

You actually think the people in the photo would give a damn about you desecrating military graves?

[Gene Eric]

Dude, you’re about to be exhumed.

[Junior_G]

The will of Americans to protect their country’s laws and legacy is disappearing before our eyes. It is stunning how quickly it is happening.

Forrest didn’t found the Klan as it already existed when he took over. When it did start getting too radical and racist, Forrest disbanded it in 1869. It reformed in it’s current version around 1915, 38 years after Forrest died in 1877. So not only do they not know their history, they also cant count.

Here’s an article that pretty much confirms what I’ve read elsewhere ;
