The discussion about Confederate statues is about addition as well as subtraction, Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) said on Sunday.

He told CBS's "Face the Nation" that he favors removing the statue of Robert E. Lee in the U.S. Capitol and replacing it with one of Pocahontas, for example.

Nobody knows what Pocahontas looked like...............

That reminds me of the story about the kid who asked the librarian if they had a photograph of Satan.

Wat we do know is Pocahontas preferred European culture to her native culture. She was celebrated in London. er wordrobe was spectacular. She was, in ever way, the perfect example of the superiority of the White race over the Brown race. An excellent choice by a total halfwit.

Actually, the game of musical statues is kind of stupid.

Stand owned slaves, who worked on his plantation in the Indian Territory of what is now Oklahoma. Stand Watie - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stand_Watie Watie, a slave holder, developed a successful plantation on Spavinaw Creek in the Indian Territory. He served on the Cherokee Council from 1845 to 1861, and served as Speaker from 1857 to 1859. After John Ross fled to Federal-controlled territory in 1862, Watie replaced Ross as principal chief. Rank‎: ‎Brigadier General (CSA) Years of service‎: ‎1861–1865 (CSA)

Now listen boys. For those of you who have never visited the Capitol before, THERE IS ALREADY A BEAUTIFUL PICTURE OF POCAHANTAS ON DISPLAY!

I didn’t mean to yell at you but c’mon.

I think Sen Kaine would not be happy about it actually. It is a portrait of Pocahantas being baptized into the Christian faith. It’s a very cool picture, and one the Marxist party is not going to want to be talked about. You can’t condemn Pocahantas, can you, and it was a free decision on her part.

Pocahontas married a member of the English gentry and stayed in England.

She died within 9 months of arriving in England. Probably had no immunities to the viruses from elsewhere.
