TERLINGUA, Texas — A statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee that the city of Dallas removed from a park and laterThe bronze sculpture, which was removed from the Dallas park in September 2017, is now at the Lajitas Golf Resort in Terlingua, Texas, theThe 27,000-acre resort, which is privately owned by Dallas billionaire and pipeline mogul Kelcy Warren and managed by Scott Beasley, the president of Dallas-based WSB Resorts and Clubs, received the statue as a donation in 2019.
The 1935 sculpture by Alexander Phimister Proctor was among several Lee monuments around the U.S. that were removed from public view amid the fallout over racial violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017.
Whites only resort?
Alot of these statues could go to national battlefields. I visited Cold Harbor and there's not a single Confederate monument. And it's a lopsided Rebel victory.
PeterRQuinones 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Of course it is!
It should have been melted down.
Of course it is
Racist Americans just don’t want to be civilized
Well most rich Texans lack taste in politicians! Hell they financed, gerrymandered the hell out of Texas to get Abbot elected. I Hear that the country club folks want to sell porta toilets in abbots image! Go covid go in Texas!
based
What was the winning bid? How many bidders were there. 🤔

Thank goodness somebody has some sense. All these people who didn't study social studies in school shame on you go back to school. All these statues need to be protected
God I love Texas. Everyone I know loves it there😀👍.
Yeah I can say it now somebody's saying I bet you five bucks you can't hit him in the head from here
Well, now we know where to never go!
Still in Texas, of course
Is it trump west? Lol
Where all the rich, white, would-be slave owners can enjoy it during their 18 holes... I hope none are vaccinated.
Some of those that run golf courses are the same that burn crosses 🤔
Makes sense.
Golf trip!
Of course it is.
Of course it is. Texas is a useless state.
Putt putt?
Person enjoying it: YeeeeeHaw—I’m a racist fuck face
sounds about, white.
You mean, private compound.
Why is this news? As long as taxpayer dollars aren’t funding it, I couldn’t care less where it is.
Of course it is. How very interesting Texas. The people you worship speaks volumes about you.
look nice ,
Of course.
Lee was a tyrant who hated freedom.
Seems pretty on brand in s state that went to war TWICE to defend slavery.
For those who wish that a Robert E Lee statue should not be displayed, do you also believe that his home should be plowed and removed from the tour in Arlington National cemetery in VA?
Of course it is 🙄
Seems about right for a private white golf resort in Texas.
I wonder if the tax returns of that business are y’know…correct.
Racists gonna racist
Why would Dallas sell racist iconography?
Good to hear and see
Disgusting snd disgraceful
I mean if they want to waste their money on such a thing that’s on them though it’s rather sad they’d want it
how fitting.
A-Hole in One
Good for the golf course. They can do whatever they want on their property!
Ok, and?
Oh course it is!
Now destroy the golf course.
🧬 hate is in their DNA its impossible for them to give it up. The only thing good citizens must do is too eradicate yourself from these hate Mongers in all they do and let them know you’re are not going backwards. ✊🏻✊✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 ❤️
SheriD17536431 Well that’s gross.
Good place for it.
Wow‼️So racism ok for our members out there in Terlingua. I’m a Texan and damn proud of it. My friends, my family don’t agree with this. So this is not sustainable and is not American. TexasStrong Texas GovAbbott Wake up Texas. TurnTexasBlue2022
Of course it is.
It’s a historical monument and nothing more! Wiping out history like terrorists does not change history. Learning from it does!
Had to be a conscious move by the City of Dalas to do what they had to do - remove the statue - while still ensuring that it would continue to scream white suppremacy - by auctioning it off to someone who could inevitably put it back on display.
Damn, you guys let a statue f_ck with you this much?
Redneck WASP Texas
Guess plantation masters still exist in texas
Naturally.
Good Damn Wokebags
😂 man Texas really loves their racism huh?
Good!
An opportunity for them to show who they are...
Who owns the resort?
Lajitas Resort, Lajitas, TX is now owned by billionaire Kelcy Warren, CEO of Energy Transfer Partners (and owner of Music Road Records) Greens fees are $135
Nazis are allowed to have clubs.
I'm sure all the right people will adorn it.
Well we know how that resort & owners feel about people of color.
As long as it's on private property and not publicly funded land, I don't give two shits what they do with it
I'm sure Mar-a-Lago
A private golf course in Texas. Nothing like advertising being racist!
A statue that was created in 1935…… monuments to these treasonous “leaders” has always been the true attempts at rewriting history by painting them as being worthy of having monuments in the first place. Tearing them down has always been fitting of their place in history.
Of course it is. Wonder how many black members at that club.
Care to report mistreatmrnt and abuse of Canadian at US border? Dare to ask POTUS SecMayorkas SecBlinken why they all are silent?
This is as surprising as a statue of Robert E. Lee in a golf course in Texas. Let me guess exclusive members only and 99.99999999% of the membership is white.
🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Is anybody surprised? Nothing but a bunch of racists in TX.
Love it. That’s how it should be. Can’t cancel history. It happened. Deal with it. No one cares you’re offended.
Who gives a flying fvk.
you can cancel General Lee. But you can't outlaw General Lee. not news
