How come this statue wasn’t taken down during the race riots in the 1960s?

Who did this statue belong to? Did they have permission to destroy it?

The Afghanistan Taliban completely agree with the U.S. Taliban.

It also shows how ignorant of history those people are. Robert E. Lee was one of the loudest voices against slavery in the Confederacy as he thought it would lead to it’s destruction. He was right. In fact one would be surprised at how many Confederate leaders were actually anti-slavery, their only real problem with getting rid of it was the fact they did not want a bunch of Yankees telling them to do so. And that’s really why they started the civil war. It was a true case of emotional policy making leading to their destruction.

Because the statue of Lee in Richmond had nothing to do with race. This is only about destroying American culture and history. Currently, using race baiting hustlers and their useful idiot adherents is the most expedient way to erase the history of American exceptionalism.

A shameful display of cultural destruction...


Agree....Disgraceful...

Our history should be respected and honored...all of it. Unfortunately, we have reached a point in our “history” where each new day is worse than the day before.

I believe we are on the precipice of another war. If not a war then we are headed towards radical socialism where people no longer useful are euthanized or put into concentration camps.

Well of course not all German Generals in WWII were Nazis, Rommel immediately comes to mind.

This the definition of mob rule. They’ve been emboldened by the politician’s response. Next statue will be George Washington removed from Wall Street. The goal is to erase history so we wont learn from our mistakes.

And now why is the city of Richmond, Virginia a special place to visit now? I vote we replace it with a George Floyd statue. </sarcasm>

They had better not replace him with a BLM hater of white people or a Marxist.

Maybe someday on the future they will tear down Clinton, Obama and Biden statues? Naaaaah, the trip down never reverses itself. People of South Dakota beware. Mt Rushmore’s time is approaching.
