“We should all be proud of this important step forward for our Commonwealth and our country,” Northam said Monday. “The Confederacy is a symbol of Virginia’s racist and divisive history, and it is past time we tell our story with images of perseverance, diversity, and inclusion.”
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi added that the removal of Lee’s statue was “welcome news.”
Pelosi, if you’re wondering, has suggested a review of all historical statues is due, including those of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.

Statue removal over the summer saw mind-numbing levels of ignorance on the part of those doing the removal.
Protesters in Madison, Wisconsin, tore down a statue of Hans Christian Heg, a Norwegian-American immigrant who died fighting to end slavery during the Civil War.
Vandals also targeted statues of Ulysses S. Grant — the Union general responsible for the defeat of the Confederacy, while liberal lawmakers have also gone after those of Teddy Roosevelt, who invited Booker T. Washington to dine with him in the White House.
President Trump half-joked that it would never stop, and that statues of Washington would be coming down.

Next thing ya know they’ll be putting up communist China flags!!
Racism still seems to be winning...
Being “woke” is just a form of reverse racism. And Ralph Northam has every aspect of “reverse racism”.
What would be funny is if a bunch of people connected one of those old auto horns that plays a few bars of “Dixie” and occasionally hit the button while driving through Northam’s neighborhood.
Chinese “Cultural” revolution wrapped in a US flag.
They are traitors one and all.
.
Funny isn’t it? The biggest racists are White democrats and Blacks...........maybe it’s really just sad.
...”diversity and inclusion.....diversity and inclusion....diversity and inclusion....”that’s all we are gonna hear for at least the next four years...it is infecting the very threads of our society’s fabric....schools, the military, you name it.... this is just the beginning....
This morning an historian friend sent me a news article from the Beaufort (S.C.) Gazette, dated today. It reports that the Democrats had inserted wording in the porkulus Bill that would have removed all the Confederate statues from National Park Service sites. Democrats had previously passed a Bill in June or July that they had included the same wording. It went to the Senate but was never acted on.
Don't call me Shirley.
REmoving a few statues and changing names will not end racism but inflate it. Giving in to one race over another is a form of racism. Remember, you become what you hate.
Virginia needs an official monument to Heyward Shepherd.
One of many Americans shot in the back by liberals.
They just removed Robert E. Lee’s statue from the Capitol Rotunda recently. Did one black person’s life improve by its removal? Do they even know it happened? Do they really care? Of course not.
Just realized after re-reading the article that was sent to me, it says that the wording about removing the Confederate statues from the NPS sites was “removed” prior to the pork Bill being voted on. Republicans knew President Trump would veto the Bill if it was in it. I can’t imagine that Republicans didn’t think he’d veto the Bill anyway with all the other crap in it. In the article, the Democrats have said that removal of the section regarding the Confederate statues is only a temporary setback. They will keep trying until they get it done.
Is he going to get 10 years in prison for taking down a statue? It’s the law.
At least Lee put his money — and his hide — where his mouth was.
Statues are easy to beat, they don’t fight back. Nor do most Americans anymore.
The racist past is Ralph. Now he begs and grovels for forgiveness. Not that he really cares, it’s just for votes.
Unless Virginia stays with fraudulent elections. The dem control is short lived. They were apparently saved this time with fraud. Virginia should have 7 or 8 Republican congressmen now. So in one year the radical left pushed the Republicans to dominating on Nov 3 rd. Even in Northern Virginia Trump picked up significant votes surpassing 2016.
Is there a paying position in the government called Virtual Signaller? Northam should run for that. It’s all he’s good for.
Oh and Northam's blackface bit?
Reminds me that Asian women are getting their eyes 'fixed' so they can look like white women's eyes. That's as offensive as blackface. Asian women need to keep their own eyes and black women need to wear their own hair - not ours.
