“Over two years ago, Richmond was home to more Confederate statues than any city in the United States. Collectively, we have closed that chapter,” Mayor Levar Stoney tweeted. “We now continue the work of being a more inclusive and welcoming place where ALL belong.”

The city wants to give it to the Black History Museum and Cultural Center of Virginia...(who'll most likely melt it down as they did another Confederate Statue).

Erasing our history, culture and traditions one statue and body at a time.

“Burying history will never change history...”

It can cause people to repeat it though.
I wonder how Levar would feel about that.

You can hate him, but General AP Hill was a great general for the Confederacy.

I am waiting for our $scumbag President to remove all Confederate monuments from Gettysburg battle field. The few that there are.

More inclusive... Richmond has never been all, not, or slightly inclusive. It really depends which way the pendilum is swinging on any given day.

It’s fortunate they have a semblance of a beltway, that way travelers can avoid Richmond altogether.

Even though I disagree with the confederacy, I also disagree with removing anything related to the confederacy. I say keep them as a reminder of history.

Rewriting history is a typical third world communist procedure. In the estimation of many Americans,Confederate troops as well as Union troops represented the finest in American manhood, and deserve the respect of historians.

Two years after Oliver Cromwell died, vengeful royalists dug up his body and hanged it in chains. I wonder when today’s liberals (fascists, actually) will start doing the same with anyone they disagree with.

The USMA has never had confederate statues on the grounds. Battle maps inside the museum outline troop placements as North-Blue and Rebels-Red.

“...a more inclusive and welcoming place where ALL belong.”


ALL, of course, does not include statues or graves of Confederates. They’re right out. I have to ask why the statue of a Confederate general would be donated to a black history museum? Is that the real message—”We are the masters now!”?

These are enemies, so depraved they dig up the bones of our ancestors and heroes only to desecrate them.

Native Americans have a process and strong legislation that put a stop the desecration of the remains their ancestors - while our politicians sit by, do nothing and willfully allow this abomination to happy to our ancestors - whose statues and remains are being dug up specifically for desecration and destruction.

Yet we’re supposed to call these monsters our “peers” and “fellow countrymen,” allow them to sit in judgement of us and share living space with us, over which they now have dominance.
