Of course it isn't. You might have to admit that when it cam to racial viewpoints your heroes, your idols, men like Jeff Davis and Thomas Jackson and yes, the sainted Bobby Lee were worse than Lincoln. Where would you be if you couldn't get up on your hypocritical high horse and condemn Lincoln for the very sins you give your side a pass on? That's absolutely no fun at all, is it?
Sorry Non. If this is really conducted as a trial, Robert E. Lee's position would not be relevant and could not be introduced into evidence. Your point would be moot. No one would care.
Racism is a belief system or doctrine which states that inherent biological differences between human races determine cultural or individual achievement — with a corollary that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.
I vote "Guilty As Charged".
