I want to make it known that this type of behavior is not only permitted upon my tomb/grave/beer-pickled corpse, but also encouraged.

Grant got a better reception in the South after the war than in New York today. Sad.

She appears a bit...assymetrical, but I have overlooked minor physical issues like that in the past.

I doubt if Grant would have minded ...

But the ghost of Joe Hooker was pissed she didn't perform on HS tomb...

Was that shot taken from the July 4 Dance with the Ghosts of Drunken Union Generals? No matter where it came from, all I can say is a two-syllable "Dayum."

"His tomb, erected..."

You're right, he didn't mind at all!

What happened to respect for the dead? Also, Grant was a UNION general, and she's black. Amazingy crass and ignorant behavior. IF she's American, I'm ashamed of her.

And what is with the hair? In fact, what happened to Afro hair? Has it gone extinct? No one has it anymore... Where do they get that fake, straight hair, and why have they all betrayed their race by rejecting the hair they were born with?

Baby has no taste and no class. She is obviously the black version of Pamela Anderson.

Blacks weren't born with AFROS. That was just a "style" of a long-ago age. Styles change. Thank god!

I feel that this was the fault of whoever contracted Beyonce to perform for this.

Certain performers perform a certain way.

If a dignified performance is appropriate, ... contract someone who is known for giving dignified performances.

In some contexts, I can appreciate Beyonce. However, this context was not appropriate for her.
