re: Robert E. Lee opposed Confederate monuments (And so should you)

I'm sort of with Lee in all of this, but most of those monuments were paid for by private organizations after his death. Personally, I never quite understood why New Orleans put one up since he was never really a part of New Orleans history....he did spend time with the Washington Artillery. But a lot of these monuments have been up since the 1880's and 1900.....why the big fuss today? You Yankees and scalawags just want to keep rubbing the fact that the South lost in Southerners faces?

Overall, those monuments never bothered anyone and then some jack off named Dylan Roof does an unspeakable horror....never mentions the Confederacy or the "South" and then all of you progressives get your panties all in a wad about these pieces of metal. It ain't about racism...it's about rubbing it in the face of the conservative white guy from the South. Makes you feel superior...huh?
