I think there are way more than you are giving credit for, but in any event, there were any number of heroic slaves/blacks that could be lionized. Why aren't there statues of Frederick Douglass all over the south? In what world is Lee the superior of FD?

Ooooo. You've noticed for the millionth time that racism was common back then. Impressive.

The point is, let's not act like the preponderance of the rebel statues around the south are something they aren't. At the very least, let's not care too much if voters decide they are to be removed. Let's remember exactly what they represent.

I'm not the one who decided(relatively suddenly mind you) that statues were suddenly an existential threat to a bunch of fricking pussy snowflakes who are doing it almost 100% as a "frick you" move and nothing more.

Hell. I couldn't have told you where to find a confederate statue 18 months ago other than Stone Mountain
