--- Quote from: Drydess on August 13, 2017, 04:54:34 PM ---christopher colombus killed children for a living and he's honored highly for "discovering america" i don't see what's wrong with a statue of lee, particularly compared to the above --- End quote --- There's nothing inherently wrong with a statue of a Confederate general in the south. The deal is, when a community no longer feels that a statue is honoring a legacy they want to honor, it should be within that communities right to move a historic monument to a place of history rather than on public grounds for everyone to see. Its in front of an old courthouse they want to turn into a visitor center for Charlottesville, so I can see why they wouldn't want it to be so front in center for people coming in from out of town. |

Lee would think these national socialists are starfishs. For one, he's a lot more complicated of a figure than most people think. Lee was obviously guilty of many crimes against humanity for commanding an army in defense of slavery, but he was also the strongest confederate voice in support of reunification. He fought against calls in the South to continue the war, and he was an instrumental figure in Reconstruction. If his statue suddenly came to life, he'd be appalled by all these starfishs in their khakis and polo shirts trying to rip apart the country again with their divisive, hateful bullstuff. He'd probably support moving the statue after seeing how badly it ripped apart Charlottesville. |
