Alabama and Mississippi will also honor Robert E. Lee on Martin Luther King Jr. Day

Yea he ranks high on the racist hierarchy doesn't he Tipsyhag and we know racist still hate Dr King.

I don't hate Dr. King. I recognize that he was an alcoholic with a weakness for white, blonde, women. I recognize that he financed his parties by taking money from the Ebeneezer Church where he was pastor. I recognize that his most famous speech, I Have A Dream was plagiarized from the Keynote Speech given by Republican Archibald Carey, a black man, at the Republican Convention in 1952.

Those aren't reasons to hate Dr. King, just be disappointed in the gullibility of the crowds now adoring him.

I remember Dr. King when he was alive causing little black girls to be attacked by dogs. The myth is bigger than the man.

I have never heard of Robert E Lee day before. Oh well, happy Robert E Lee day, I guess…

“MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — The U.S. is set to mark Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the federal holiday set aside to honor the life of the civil rights icon. But in Alabama and Mississippi , Monday is also Robert E. Lee Day in honor of the Confederate general.

The two states recognize King and Lee on the third Monday in January. Their state governments created holidays more than a century ago to honor Lee and later combined the day with the federal holiday established in the 1980s to honor King.

The strange juxtaposition of honoring men from vastly different legacies has persisted for decades.”

Alabama and Mississippi will also honor Robert E. Lee on Martin Luther King Jr. Day

Celebrating Traitors. Meanwhile they are at the bottom in education, healthcare, and job opportunity metrics.

 

[ThunderKiss1965]

Strange is the euphemism frail whites use for bigots celebrating bigotry.

My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. IfI could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that.
Letter from President Abraham Lincoln to Horace Greeley editor of the New York Tribune.

You have to choose your battles, knowing both the Union and abolition were unavoidable ones. That wasn’t the first time the issue of slavery had to be weighed against maintaining the Union. Without the Union, it’s likely slavery would have persisted in the Americas decades longer than it did.

What day should we set as Benedict Arnold day?

MLK Day.

Yes. A man who fought to uphold a nation based on the inferiority of the black man should be honoured by a holiday in the Southern states. It's only fitting.

Which part is fake?

That Lee fought to uphold a nation based on the inferiority of the black man?

Or that he should be honoured by a holiday in the Southern states?

Reparations were considered at the time but never happened.

Wasn't 40 acres and a mule promised then reneged on?
Oh, ok...

Forty acres and a mule - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

​

Many freed people believed, after being told by various political figures, that they had a right to own the land they had been forced to work as slaves and were eager to control their own property. Freed people widely expected to legally claim 40 acres of land.[4] However, Abraham Lincoln's successor as president, Andrew Johnson, tried to reverse the intent of Sherman's wartime Order No. 15 and similar provisions included in the second Freedmen's Bureau bills.​

Lincoln said that.

 

[J.S.]

"And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be a position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race."

--Abe Lincoln

 

[J.S.]

"I will say then, that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters of the negroes, or jurors, or qualifying them to hold office, of having them to marry with white people."

--Abe Lincoln

I don’t know. But something involving land sounds familiar. That was after abolition. After Civil Rights reparations were again discussed.

Lincoln said that.

Said what? That the US was founded on the inferiority of the black man, as the Confederate government was founded?

[J.S.]

"I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality.”
