Robert E. Lee Descendant to Appear at VMAs
New York Post ^

Posted on 08/27/2017 3:46:32 PM PDT by nickcarraway

The Rev. Robert Wright Lee IV, a descendant of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee, is scheduled to appear at Sunday night’s VMAs after publicly supporting the removal of the statue of his ancestor in Charlottesville, Va., and similar monuments.

An MTV spokesperson confirmed to Page Six on Sunday that Rev. Lee will make an appearance during the show, but declined to elaborate on his role in the ceremony.

A source tells us Rev. Lee feels “obligated” to speak out against racism following the white supremacist rally and tragic violence that surrounded the planned removal of the Gen. Lee statue in Charlottesville.

Ah, Lee descendants:

“An MTV spokesperson confirmed to Page Six on Sunday that Rev. Lee will make an appearance during the show, but declined to elaborate on his role in the ceremony other than to say he will lead the crowd in a ritual destruction of a Lee statue after first defecating on the statue”.

“This is a very exciting way to kick off this years vee-ma’s,” said spokesman Karl Marx Stalin.

Wouldnt it be less divisive if the Good Reverend just changed his name and left everyone else alone?

Irony: getting beaten by a person carrying a sign that says “No Hate”.

Someone is kicking you when you’re down, or hitting you with a rod or club, seems to me it’s time for them to pay the ultimate penalty.

I give kudos to the Black woman who stepped in.

Because Lee was not a racist. It’s probably the best chance he has of getting it through their thick skulls.

Being a descent of the great Robert E Lee is totally irrelevant to anything. It’s like bringing in the conservative hating son of Ronald Reagan (Ron Jnr) to be the final arbiter of conservatism.

I read in another source that he is a relative of Lee’s but not a descendant. Gen. Lee was his g-g-g-g-uncle.

F that!

Shouldn’t the general’s descendants, at least the ones who still carry the name Lee be deposited in a large warehouse and kept there under plastic wrapping?
