Why do you want to honor a man who was responsible for the intentional deaths of thousands of American Army troops?
And yet we have a very large memorial to Abraham Lincoln in DC, a man that knew blacks were inferior and two slave owners and two slave owners about a mile away.
Wrong comparison dude.
During that time anyone that can afford slaves have slaves that includes rich blacks or Abraham Lincoln.
Gen. Robert Lee wants to legitimize slavery even after the civil war. That blacks do not have rights and only white power. Purely racism, bigotry and hatred. That's the difference dude.
Let's say as an example your great grand parents, uncles, cousins were brutalized, rapes and keep raping, molesting kids or murdered some just for fun. Here's Gen. Lee fighting to make sure slavery is a law and killed thousands of soldiers who are fighting against slavery, racism and bigotry. You go to a park or school you see these monuments or pictures right at your face. How do you feel?
If you are a supporter or a member of KKK, NAZIS, White Supremacist, Alt Right or other hate groups ------ Then Gen. Lee is your god.
Racism must be STOP and should be STOP NOW.
