To bad the crane didn’t collapse and kill all the BLM members below. /spit.
What? No neo Nazis Tiki torch parades protecting the monuments? Could it be that C-ville was just Soros paid left wing agit prop?
The current political class in Richmond is pathetic. Lee was devoted to Virginia. Today he was stabbed in the back.
And rename the streets
And take back the holiday
Federal workers need to work more anyway
Lee was a hero of the US Mexican war.
I expect book burning to start this winter, followed by Bwando on the crops next spring
Columbus statues were destroyed and/or removed.
Confederate statues are being destroyed and/or removed.
Even a Lincoln Emancipation Memorial was removed because the slave breaking free from his chains wasn’t standing up.
What will be next?
Douglas Southall Freeman talks about Lee's slave ownership earlier in his life. He inherited some from his mother on her death in Lee's own letters talk about owning slaves going back to the 1840sThe Library of Congress has documentation of two Lee slaves, William and Rosabella Burke, who Lee freed in the early 1850s and whose passage to Liberia was paid by Lee. Burke later graduated from a Presbyterian seminary in Monrovia and was an minister. Mrs. Burke corresponded with Mrs. Lee for years prior to the rebellion. Here's a link to the site: Source
Don’t forget the Theodore Roosevelt statue at the Smithsonian.
Deo Vindice.
A great and honorable man. It is painful to see his legacy trashed by puerile and ignorant cretins not fit to shine his boots.
History will enshrine his deeds and abilities forever, despite all efforts by the radical left to erase them. We will never forget.
Yes, that would have been interpreted as a micro aggression. We wouldn’t want that, now would we? /S
Beware Little Minds
That “preserving the Union” thingy has sure worked out swell. Besmirching Americana has become a parlor game.
That’s right - the Teddy Roosevelt statue, too.
Also the St. Junipero Serra statues in California.
And many others...
Excellent point. All these gestures to boost self-esteem while ignoring the core issues that are destroying blacks across this country. Pathetic.
Replaced by a Statue Of the famous WOKE General Milley?
In that case, do you suppose all those BLM pukes, living in TX, NM, AZ and CA, would like to suddenly find themselves part of Mexico again?
The only thing I wonder about, is which one is next.
I doubt that most people in the crowd were even aware there was a U.S./Mexico war.
When will the Black Citizens of this country realize that the BLM is the worst thing that has happened to them since the Civil War?
Thank you Nikki Haley
