for the record Robert E. Lee Freed all of his slaves—and urged others in the south to do the same before the Civil War. I believe that if the South had won—Lee would have been elected President of the CSA and he would have freed the slaves! He would be a black hero.

Not so much, no. Lee wasn't all that opposed to slavery.

He lacked the authority to end slavery.

It is really the white southerners that they see every day that really bothers them. So, what are they going to do with the descendants of the white southerners of the civil war days? These people are just racists and need to be called out on it.
