Heritage, not hate. Governor Blackface strikes again.

Official Statement from the Rev. Robert W. Lee on the announced removal of the Richmond Robert E. Lee statue:

I have cried tears of joy today upon the announcement of the removal of the Robert E. Lee statue in Richmond—indeed the Capital of the former Confederacy. I have also danced, and I am not a good dancer.

Today is a day of justice not for my family but the families of countless enslaved persons who continually have fought for justice both long before and long after the Civil War. Though I know the statue’s eventual promised removal won’t fix the issues we face it is a sign that sentiments and hearts are changing toward justice.

My continued work will be for equality and atonement for the sins of the past. This requires conversations in Richmond, Charlotte, Montgomery, and Atlanta; not only there, but in the rural hamlets of Virginia, and small towns like Statesville. Together these conversations are leading to substantive and symbolic change our country so desperately needs.

This Robert Lee commends Governor Northam, Richmond and others involved in this decision that will make for a better commonwealth and country.

The leftist media is riding shotgun on this effort:

It’s a big monument. Will take several dozen people to take it down. How will they do that while maintaining six-feet of social-distancing among themselves?

Has the governor given a social-distancing exemption to just this crew? If so, he is risking further COVID infection among the Virginia citizenry, all over a chunk of marble.

The man in Tazewell County was coming to get the governor but blew himself up.

The governor is in trouble and his life hangs in the balance.

Fine, send it to my house, I will put it up here.

Well, General Robert E. Lee never wore blackface or wanted to kill babies.

Someone should permanently blackface that garbage-brained governor of Virginia.
