A statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee was sold online for more than $1.4 million on Wednesday after it was removed from a Dallas park nearly two years ago over concerns the monument was racist.
The bronze statue drew a top offer of $1,435,000 from a bidder identified only as "LawDude," according to the Lone Star Auctioneers Inc. website. The second highest bidder, "MustangJerry," maxed out at $1,432,500 after placing 41 bids since the statue first went up for auction with a starting price of $450,000 on May 26.
Somebody, somewhere is making sure history is not erased.

Somebody needs to buy some property near where it used to be and put it back, bigger and more ornate than ever.

I'm curious as to what kind of politically correct crap went up in its place.

Where are the statues that were removed? I thought they are stored in a warehouse.

Part of the condition of the sale was that it couldn't be displayed in Dallas.

Complete breach of fiduciary duty by the City Park board. How much could they sell Beauregard for? Instead, they let Mitch convert their valuable property without a fight. Cowards.

The report I heard said within city limits.

It’s insane how a place as prosperous as the DFW metro area can still get fricked up in a part of it where Democrats get control.
That’s how powerful the Democrats are at fricking something up.
