OT Was Robert E. Lee really all that evil?

Well, is there any Robert E Lee DNA left that we could clone him with?

Clone him and we'll test him for evil. Until then we can only guess.

I wonder if Lucy was evil?

Charlie Brown was such a dummy.

 

Just convert it to an HCP statue. Almost done.

 

No, this is the type of thing that I'm fine with letting mayors and governors decide for themselves. It's only when local action rises to the level of taking away people's rights, like slavery or voter suppression, that I think outside influence is warranted.

 

You keep using my so-called definition of terrorism in a completely spurious and disingenuous way. Again I'll restate what I said: the politically motivated slaying committed by the driver against a mass of people seems to fit the Merriam-Webster definition of terrorism. Feel free to tag me in the future if you're going to continue to misrepresent my words.

 

Good day River.
What you jacking your self up about?

 

I'm only catching up here but me personally I'm indifferent. But I am a white male.

Here is one reason I would think local communities might want to remove statues of those who sought oppression of minoritues during thier tenure of respective position.

A reminder.

Minorities might see it as a reminder and though it may not provoke anger and hatred in all, it might bring sadness of memories of the historical suffering they, their families and loved ones might have had to endure.
If the removal of the statue helps these individuals live a happier and more peaceful life, then let them vote to have them removed.

 

Seems reasonable.

But.... why now? Why only in places run by Democrats? What was the recent catalyst?

 

W.E.B DuBois, on Robert E. Lee:

 

Who knows. WHy did we invent the wheel when we did? why not sooner or later? Why did it take until the 60's for us to recognize legally the equality of both sexes and all races?

When the lightbulb turns on, it turns on. Don't question the light, just get as much done to improve your surroundings while you can see, before it goes off, right?

 

I can tell you every time I see one of these pickups driving around VANCOUVER WASHINGTON with a confederate flag mounted in the back, it changes my emotional condition on the spot. I'm not arguing for outlawing it, but I disagree with your assessment of the affect it has on me.

 

Uhhhh, I'd be entirely more pissed that they are likely to "roll coal" or whatever it is they call it. Should lose their license for a year.

 

I hope it isn't too difficult.

 

When you look closely, you may see the switch has a operator.

 

Guessing you're not black.
