Sorry Non. If this is really conducted as a trial, Robert E. Lee's position would not be relevant and could not be introduced into evidence. Your point would be moot. No one would care.
Racism is a belief system or doctrine which states that inherent biological differences between human races determine cultural or individual achievement — with a corollary that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.
I vote "Guilty As Charged".
And Lord knows we can't make it about Bobby Lee. Heavens, people might look at his positions and decide that Lincoln wasn't so bad by comparison.

Least of all those who might try and defend the man.

So that's why you're so down on Lincoln. Thanks to him you can't own anyone. What a disappointment. I'm not sure if I should try and comfort you or burst out laughing.
Abraham Lincoln: "I am not nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races-that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race."

Ok, so what is your problem with Lincoln again?
So Abe was advocating ruling another race? Hmmm, NOT. He was advocating FREEING THEM. Try again.
