re: Robert E. Lee has been misrepresented by regressive "historians"

I'll just say I never care for defending the Confederate flag. I've had many more ancestors and friends fight under the American flag. I don't get caught up in ancestors that fought for 4 damn years in a country that has been in existence for approximately 240 years. I do hate to see Lee's statue come down, I'll admit. I am proud to be an American, way more proud than anything. Maybe my thing with Lee was how many books I've read on him and how highly regarded he was at the time. He was also instrumental in the Mexican-American War.
I'm not just pissed about it, just hate to see it happen. I understand both sides of the argument though.

I feel similarly.
I empathize with those who feel slighted. It's unfair for me to expect blacks to move on from that time period when we tend to drag it up, too, in various forms.
