[Truth1253]

Statue sold for $1.4 million. Why are we removing the in the first place because they owned slaves and that makes it racist today. What’s next all our money? George Washington owned 30 himself is he know a piece of shit? The Left gets offended by EVERYTHING in the past because they’re personally so inadequate in the present. ‘Robert E. Lee & The Confederate Soldier’ Sculpture Removed From Dallas Park Sells For $1.4M

Just like the Taliban, destroying art, trying to erase history. History haunts them, even if they try to mangle the history books.
History is history, the truth is the truth, deal with it.

Um, not, it's being removed because he betrayed the country over slavery.

Time to stop honoring traitors. Take them all down.

Yes, history is history.

And there was nothing noble or honorable about Lee, which is why he should be expunged from any place of honor. .

We? Are you a resident of Dallas?

Why is there a statue of Lee in Dallas to begin with? What is his connection to that area?

There was everything noble and honorable about Lee. His father died when Lee was 11. They had a very tough existence. Lee applied to West Point and was accepted when he was 17. The rest is history. There is no record of Robert E. Lee owning land or slaves. So what's the bitch?
Robert E. Lee - Wikipedia
"Lee was a top graduate of the United States Military Academy and an exceptional officer and military engineer in the United States Army for 32 years. During this time, he served throughout the United States, distinguished himself during the Mexican–American War, and served as Superintendent of the United States Military Academy."

They are adding extra statues of women being raped and ph uked at the MLK sites. Also changing Martin's face with a chitt eating grin.

Again, that he betrayed his country and fought to maintain slavery...

Oh, he had a very tough existence, the poor thing, living on a plantation.

Actually, the Mexican American war is a war we should be even more ashamed of than the Civil War. We were completely in the wrong on that one.

You know Joe B..... Believe it or not I am not a war monger. At some point the apologies have to stop. Most of the modern nations in the world were/are war mongers for their benefit. You live good off it. So leave or live a sparse existence. China is not going to play games when they see their chance. The past can not be changed. To learn from it is to not forget it. But we are removing our history because people do not like parts of it. So we will repeat it easily at some point.

We aren't removing our history... we are just putting it in the proper context.

The Confederacy wasn't fighting for a noble cause, they were fighting so a few rich people could keep owning other people. This is nothing to be proud of, we should be profoundly ashamed of it.

Erasing it would be what Japan does with World War II. Your average Japanese really doesn't know a lot about what their country did during that war.

The proper context is... this was wrong, it was bad... and the guys who fought for it shouldn't be honored.

No, it and others are being removed by Democrats because they are reminders of the Democrats' heritage of slavery and treason, and Americans are letting them do it.

Lee considered himself a Virginian before an American, with his loyalties being to State first and Nation second. That’s why he turned down Lincoln’s offer to lead the Hnion army. The same was true for most Confederates.

They were the ones who understood the true ideals of the US Constitution. Lincoln used the document as toilet paper. Those boys in chestnut and grey were the ultimate in honor and valor. They fought for an ideal against overwhelming odds and did themselves and their Ststes proud. They deserve to be remembered as true American heroes.

 

[Claudette]

Robert E. Lee fought for his State. Virginia. I doubt slavery ever entered his mind. His loyalty was to his State. Not the Union.

Nothing like rearranging history to suite yourself.

The civil war is part of our history. Both sides had losers and hero's. Removing a statue is pure stupidity. That statue has been there for decades.

More PC bullshit.

So what are you complaining about then, if you admit they were about treason and slavery?

Okay.. fuck them, then. They didn't stand up for their country when their country called.

Uh, no. They were dumb, inbred pieces of shit who let themselves get tricked into catching bullets for rich assholes. The funny thing about the South... 150 years later, and they are still fucking stupid.

There's a reason why if you want to portray a character as stupid in a movie, you give him a Southern Accent.

Robert E. Lee fought so that rich white people like him could keep owning other people.

Hey, there were a bunch of guys who fought very bravely for Nazi Germany... do they deserve statues?

Because they stand as a lesson to future generations as a reminder of the Democrats' untoward history of oppression and barbarism, which they seek to repeat on a wider scale by placing all Americans in slavery to The State.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Having a statue of Lee is akin to having one of Yamamoto. Both lead their countries against this country.

cause its offensive , promotes hate and people dont feel safe and and and cut the crust of my peanut butter and jelly WAH

How about this concept, whoever owns the property and has to pay to maintain and care for a statue gets to choose the statue they and pay to maintain on their property.

Nothing prevents a private group from buying a lot in Dallas and moving the Lee statue and maintaining it as a memorial.

1. He fought for his state. The "country" was a "Union of States". The US was much more localized back in 1860. They fought for States' Rights, not just slavery. Slavery was the norm back then, they didn't know what political correctness was. Cheap manual labor was necessary to succeed in farming. There was no real farm machinery. Your idealistic view of the 1860 world is laughable.
2. Show me after his dad died when he was 11 where he owned a plantation. They were essentially beggars living with family.
3. Who is ashamed of annexing Texas? Not most of us. Mexican–American War - Wikipedia
4. If you were drafted to fight in VN what would you do? The power of the "state" has demands.

Sure. Lee's state of Virginia was split in two over secession and he then led the fight to retain the rights of slaveholding states but slavery never crossed his mind.
