Duke Chapel removes statue of Lee after it was vandalized. Poor Papa Reb still taking losses 150 years later:

I'm against Vandalism ,but I'm fine with cities & schools like Duke making decisions about these monuments. (Also learned that an African American architect was Chief designer of Duke Chapel).

The irony is that I'm sure this statue was vandalized by white people

White people aren't allowed to dislike traitors to the US ?

No the irony is that most blacks don't care about these statues. Look at the pics of people protesting the statues. 95% of them are white people.

Washington Duke

It is known that Duke owned one enslaved person, named Caroline, whom he purchased for $601, and had hired out the labor of an enslaved person from his neighbors to work on his farm.
quote:
He enlisted in the Confederate navy, and served in Charleston, SC, and Richmond, VA, until his capture by Union forces in April 1865.
quote:
In appreciation, Trinity College changed their name to Duke University, in honor of Washington Duke, who had been a supporter of Trinity for decades. Today, a statue of Washington Duke sits on the university's East Campus, watching over the school he had supported for so many years.

Take ALL of them down
70+% of black kids will still grow up in a single parent home with no father and 62% of all violent crimes will still be black on black
Their leaders should invest in some mirrors

I don't know anything about him, but that guy looks pretty racist

I'm glad a bunch of people on here will act like this actually impacts their life in any way.

Shane Battier is 1/2 as outraged as you are.

Winner.
When all the statues are taken down and the lower class is still lagging behind, then what?
This isn't about statues. It's about people having zero purpose in life, so they invest themselves in these faux protests.
At the end of the day it's about personal responsibility, not statues.

Robert E Lee was not a traitor

Unfortunately 4 yrs of his military service was. The other 32 years were exceptional.

White guilt sucks

What's really ironic is that the product the duke family made its billions on was built on slavery and the product itself has killed more people than troops commanded by Lee tenfold
Will duke change the name of the university?
