Do you people feel better now you can’t unring Bell 🔔
Abraham Lincoln was a racist and a war criminal.
How good is it that we defeated racism? and now have a park dedicated to real American icons like basketball players. Next we should remove the Lincoln memorial, 1 racist down 1 to go!
Now put on Mao Zedong statue
About time!
Confederates are traitors.
In every country on the world to betray your nation is either death or life imprisonment.
luckily i was able to see this before it was taken down
All you white people are cheering for your own demise.
Alright, so when does BLM start going door to door rounding people up for the firing squads?
A great day for Virginia.
John Mitchell Jr. is watching with a smile.
“Down with the traitor, and up with the star…”
Who is the Lee?? Sorry I am not American I don’t know (English is my 3rd language)
Good
Yea well you can take it down we have a ships named Robert e Lee anyways Lmao
Mmm . . . buh bye!! 👍👍👍👍
Why are there so many conservatives in this comment section
Democrats tearing down statues of Democrats. Someone feeling guilty?
If some of ya'll never been down south too much
I'm gonna tell you a little story so's you'll understand what I'm talkin' about
Down there we have a plant that grows out in the woods, and the fields
And it looks somethin' like a turnip green
Everybody calls it polk salad
It's stupid to erase history.
These people have no shame, messing with history. He was a great tactician and military genius
To ENSLAVE another human being is to become a human PARASITE.
I was always told General Robert E. Lee led the Confederate Army for the Southern Democrats. Why are Democrats happy about tearing down a statue of a member of their party?
now remove Virginia from the union and its corrupt racist leaders. for shame for shame these historic monument are too be protected not removed! protect all veteran memorials.
Erasing history just like in the 1984 movie and book.
