- Virginia’s highest court on Thursday ruled the city of Charlottesville can remove two Confederate statues, including one of General Robert E. Lee that was the focus of a deadly white nationalist rally in 2017.
The city’s planned removal of the Lee statue in 2017 prompted a rally by white supremacists and neo-Nazis that turned deadly when a car driven into a crowd killed a counter-protester, 32-year-old Heather Heyer. Since Floyd died in police custody last year, protests against racism have gained momentum, including calls to remove statues honoring leaders of the pro-slavery Confederate side in the American Civil War.
And so it begins...
This is stupid
Next we remove all Caucasian people

Isn't this like Isis destroying historic monuments because they are not Islamic?
Put up a statue of Heather Heyer in their place.
Leave them up to help teach. They’re so busy deleting and cleaning up information. Leave there It’s a part of history. Leave it there, better to see and never forget.
Hallelujah! Put ‘em in a fuckin’ museum where they belong. Hey, I have an idea... put them in Trump’s presidential library. They’ll fit right in with all the other losers.

Racism crumbling like cookies.. 😂 😂 😂
In Virginia? Robert E. Lee joined the Confederacy for the sole reason that he would not “lift his sword against Virginia” and this is how they honour him. A shameful and idiotic gesture to appease people who don’t know their history.
THIS SUCKS. YOU CAN'T CHANGE THE PAST BY DESTROYING HISTORY. I WANT ALL MARTIN LUTHER KING ROADS AND STREETS RENAMED.
Omfg
Providing black people with better schools, better jobs, safe neighborhoods is not on the Dems list I guess.
Why would anyone want to honor an incompetent officer?
Hell yeah. Melt every Confederate statue down into something useful.
Good.... riddance!
lets just burn all monuments .. they all had blood on them you know
Good riddance
No past, no future, just a constant now where the Party is always right.
