A descendant of Gen. Robert E. Lee has stepped down as pastor of his North Carolina church after facing blowback from parishioners and others for his comments denouncing racism and lauding the Black Lives Matter movement. As a minister and newspaper columnist, Robert W. Lee IV, the fourth great-nephew of the Confederate general, has spoken and written countless words, but the five sentences he uttered during MTV's Video Music Awards last week were just too much for some members of his congregation.
...
Lee, who was pastor at Bethany United Church of Christ in Winston-Salem, has long supported removing monuments to the Confederacy and had already drawn attention for his lineage and for his stand against white supremacy prior to his MTV appearance. ...

Good riddance. By the way, I wouldn’t call a nephew a descendant.
For some reason cucks think there will be no blowback for appeasing the leftists like a whipped, eunuch. I guess virtue signaling used to have no downside but the Deplorables are pissed now.
Well Bend you can’t pick your relatives but you can pick your ass.
Maybe the Unitarians have an opening.
Eeeeewwww!
The UCC is as liberal as they come and they did THAT to him?
Interesting.
The little bastard got his 15 minutes of fame, which is what he wanted all along. Read his statement. Narcissistic and full of half truths and lies.
The fact that Pastor Lee is rumored to have quoted from
“Harry Potter” Novels in his Church orations may be sufficient reason to remove him from that role.
The UCC is a Yankee church. What’s it doing in North Carolina? Musta been carpetbaggers.
This is a good example of being brainwashed out of your heritage.
“Gen. Robert E. Lee descendant leaves pulpit after backlash”
Next step: change your name. It will be good for you; and good for the Lee family.
He learned the hard way....degrading yourself into becoming a whipped, eunuch still gets you leftist blowback for appeasing that crowd.
He would rather be one of the “kool kids” any way!
The name will just hold him back.
“We have made my ancestor an idol of white supremacy, racism and hate.”
We? In your freakin imagination only. Maybe a DNA check is in order.
At the foundation of all of this is the attempted ongoing feminization of the species.
It will end, as all unnatural things end - man can only for a period resist what's natural in the universe, simply because the universe is the one thing that can be relied upon to stand against anything, since it is everything.
But when it ends, it might not end well for everyone or even anyone.
The universe doesn't need the species.
The species would do well to remember that.
But Pride is the most subtle sin. 'Sin' originally means merely 'To miss the mark.'

Little bitch
Lord young men are so female dominated and faggoty
Can a young gal get a proper ride from a white boy these days?
Just wondering
So Robert E. Lee is a distant relative. How does that make his opinion matter? Did he and his distant relative have discussions on the matter?
Moron.
Bet he takes pains to point out that “IV” and always signs his name that way, regardless. A slut for notoriety. Not a trace of Robert E. Lee in him.
