Alkatjo:
Can't we all just agree that we're fussing over nothing? Shouldn't...oh...i don't know...living our lives be more important than rioting protesting about this kind of stuff?

Are you being facetious? It's hard telling whether or not you're upset by his insinuation enough to say something ridiculous, or if you're mocking him by (poorly) trying to poke holes in his logic.

Considering you're on two strikes now, I don't really think the effort is worth it, I don't trust your judgement here. So far you've pigeonholed the entire left side of the political spectrum into being fanboys of karl marx and che guevara and claimed that you know of about a million figures that are comparable to hussein.

Regardless of what you think of Robert E. Lee as a person, at this point he's a symbol and figurehead for white supremacy. That alone is enough for his statue to be removed, and it explains why most of the people protesting the removal of the statue are white supremacists.

God shut up. No one cares that you don't care.

Post-war, Robert E. Lee actually began to support greater rights and equality. He urged his town and the south to follow law and denounced violent attacks against black people.

it's a museum, not a monument. stop grasping at so many straws. they don't keep ww2-era Riddler glorification statues and posters around in the middle of germany. they put them in a museum so its obviously around as an educational experience for people who want to loving see what it was like back when people were stuffheads
