and libs are screamin' on twitter. They seem to have forgotten about Ralph 'Black Face' Northam

quote:

Gov. Bill Lee has proclaimed Saturday as Nathan Bedford Forrest Day in Tennessee, a day of observation to honor the former Confederate general and early Ku Klux Klan leader whose bust is on display in the state Capitol. Per state law, the Tennessee governor is tasked with issuing proclamations for six separate days of special observation, three of which, including the July 13 Forrest Day, pertain to the Confederacy. Lee — and governors who have come before him — are also required by state law to proclaim Jan. 19 as Robert E. Lee Day, honoring the commander of the Confederate Army, as well as June 3 Confederate Decoration Day, otherwise known as Confederate Memorial Day and the birthday of Confederate President Jefferson Davis.


quote:

Robert E. Lee Day, Confederate Decoration Day and Nathan Bedford Forrest Day have been special days of observation in the state since 1969.

Sadly, they can forget any NCAA events and the NFL will probably force the Titans to leave.

Here's a novel thought.

It isn't anybody else's business outside of Tennessee residents.

What the frick does Raph Northam have to do with this? Nathan Forrest is a hero to the people of the South, and Tennessee in particular. Ralph Northam is just some unremarkable cuck.

I’m not trying to pick a fight here, but what did Forrest do for the CSA that was significant?

I’ve only ever known him as the guy who founded the KKK.

1. His nickname was "Wizard of the Saddle"

2. The KKK was founded to protect Southerners from the horrible tyranny of Northern rule.

Not sure what to think about this.

Well, most most of Tennessee admires the history and legend of NBF, and most non-Whites and "Carpet Bagger" organizations in Memphis hate him.
