There are thousands of deeds that say No Italians...No Jews...No Blacks

The law of the land over ruled them.

I think the win will be at a Federal Level where Congress deemed both Union and Confederate soldiers as Veterans.

This new animosity against the Confederate Soldiers is sick. They died for their beliefs at the time...

There's a difference between a discriminatory deed and one that the state freely entered into accepting perpetual responsibility for a monument.

(Northram's counsel) "Davis said Northam's decision to move forward with the effort to remove the statue takes Virginia "a step closer to reclaiming the truth of Virginia's history" for all Virginians"

Reconciliation doesn't matter to them. Robert E. Lee commanded the Army of Northern Virginia. He was on the losing side but that's still THE TRUTH. Put up a statue depicting Virginia's history as a slave state on this monument avenue. Removing Lee is a coward's way. You're not confronting the history in the state, the reconciliation between the states, or the 130 year history since the statue was unveiled if you make it disappear like an inconvenience.
