It raises pettiness to a whole new level to seek to dishonor a man who’s been dead for 140 years.

“Someone is wrong. Because both can’t be true.”

No one is wrong. Both are true.

He started the Klan and later repudiated it and advocated for black Civil Rights and against racism.

It is said that two or three thousand black residents of Memphis attended Nathan Bedford Forrest’s funeral.

Martin van Buren’s father was a slaveowner. Martin van Buren, after losing re-election in 1840, ran again in 1848 as the candidate of the Free Soil Party (which sought to stop the spread of slavery in the territories). The residents of Van Buren County, Missouri, changed the name of their county.

Black IQs will soar from 85 to 125, black murder rate will drop from 56 percent to 10 percent, black illegitimacy rate will drop from 77 percent to 5 percent. It was only Forrest and his wife, and AP Hill holding back all these years.

Forrest was the fore father of the modern civil rights movement. It took more balls for a southern General to stand for freeds slaves rights. Its a pity that no one ever mentions his redemption. Need to find who made this decision and ask hm why he hates civil rights leaders?

In the last phase of Forrest’s life, he publicly repudiated racism and, to the disgust of his former allies, spoke to a Black woman’s group in Memphis, embraced and kissed the leaders who formally presented him with flowers for his wife, and in his speech advocated equality and progress for all. This highly publicized event and Forrest’s speech resulted in denunciations from supporters of the KKK. For the woke though, there is no grace and forgiveness, not even for those who come to reject racism. All opponents are to be judged not in the whole but at their worst.

Because they have an illogical ideology where reason and foresight doesn’t exist.

I saw that. Still the revisionists put hysterical hate ahead of fact in their efforts to erase our country’s history.

And while they are digging up confederate generals and politicians they seem to forget they where all slave owning DEMOCRATS. Democrats they support today.

“ How long before they start moving George Washington and Thomas Jefferson for owning slaves?”

That’s not the question.

The question is, will they go for those statues or just move to killing you and your children without bothering about the statues?
