Robert E. Lee Statue Removal. Virginia

I'm sure you have seen or heard about it. Magnificent Bronze statue mounted on a massive ornate base. Dates back to 1880.

By the time they took it down (this week) it looked like the Reichstag building or many other buildings in Berlin. Graffiti several layers deep.

Spineless politicians are allowing our history to be erased. Shameful. I posted another thread on polishing the Denver turd after hearing about the big cleanup for Biden next week (speaking of Spineless Politicians).

He was the best loser.

If they remove the history it makes it easier for them to repeat it.

Removing history is a turd move. The equivalent of destroying all of Bach's music or Van Gogh's art because you don't like it.

Gman hit the nail on the head.

What that what was happening there? The reason I ask is that REL still shows up in Wiki, as does Bach and Van Gogh.

Maybe they wanna replace it with president of Andromeda galaxy.

Take me to your leader...

They're not removing history. He's still in the history books as the leader of an army that marched against the United States. They're just removing the statue of him in front of a government building.
