copied Virginia Governor Ralph Northam held a press conference to announce that a statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee in Richmond. "In Virginia, we no longer preach a false version of history," he said.
How did this idiot get elected to be a governor?
Robert E. Lee opposed Confederate monuments. “I think it wiser not to keep open the sores of war but to follow the examples of those nations who endeavored to obliterate the marks of civil strife, to commit to oblivion the feelings engendered.'
Black face governor, who is not a first family.
Our kids aren't being taught American history, only bits and pieces. They don't know who RobertELee is!! It's been there 96 years. Leave it there and it will crumble away eventually.
Yo what is happening 😢😢😫
Robert E. Lee, led the murder of over 300,000 Americans. Robert E. Lee, the first ever domestic terrorist.
Good!! Those Confederate bastards were racist treasonous traitors and NOTHING about them was noble nothing....
Yes the Democrats need to try to hide their racism
His party was responsible for the history he is talking about.
We are not racist and murderers.
Is he the same blackface guy?
Politicians continuing to ban people from opening businesses, gathering together at churches, etc., while full-throatedly endorsing massive public protests, and tacitly supporting violent riots, etc., is our present, terrifying reality.
He should have just done it. Announcing it is asking for trouble.
Pathetic This is my country my family's country taking down removing US historical information for every one to learn is bullshit
He should have done it dressed like this.
Did he approve that lame speech while wearing black face?
About time
Calling yourselves the 'party of Lincoln'. Throwing a tantrum when Confederate monuments that glorify traitors to the United States and Abraham Lincoln finally get removed. Pick one Republicans.
A great speech and honorable way to lead!
Democrats are disgusting
That took courage. Thank you.
The more versions of a history, the better.
Lee was a TRAITOR and he should've never been memorialized.
Black-face/KKK attired Governor of Virginia? I’m not impressed.
small steps lead to a giant leap. Let's hope this is progress
A man who wore blackface, a Klan outfit or both 36 years ago in medical school is removing a statue of a man who more than 150 years ago fought in the Civil War as a racist — irony.
Everything BarackObama must go.
✊🏾
Will he wear blackface?
midwest_sarah Barr, 'The winners write history,' Has the Union finally won?
Awesome! We should not memorialize a traitorous organization who was against the ideals of our constitution. They also lost. Who celebrates lost battles? Confederate flags should be banned next. Only one that matters for them is the flag of surrender.
Liberals are sick.
When mistakes are made, we, collectively and individually work to make it right. That’s how we grow, learn and be and do better moving forward.
🙌🏻
This is basically proof that the civil war never ended. Its still alive and about to reignite, except this time it won't be north versus south, but urban versus rural.
Now let’s remove all statues of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. Also, let’s burn all history books as well. The only thing allowed to be taught to our kids will be the teachings of Karl Marx. Lastly, we need to defund the police because it’s a great bumper sticker.
Well, that's it. Racism is solved, cool we can all go home now.
Bout fucking time! Never understood how this was ever okay
THANK YOU! ❤️ The KKK mile markers are coming down one at a time. The celebration of pedophilia, torture, and merchandising of enslaved Africans is coming to an end. GLORY!
Georgefloyd deserve a statue BlackLivesMatter
Black face Northam or KKK Northam? Asking for a friend.
How about the Roman Colosseum? It was built for thousands of Romans to get their rocks off watching people Slaughter each other. Yet people take selfies in front of it because they think it's romantic. Why aren't people demanding it be torn down?
Good
This makes me so happy.... so proud to be a Virginian. Hang on North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona, and even Texas.... you are going to turn into 'Virginia,' too.
When will he resign for this?
Next up: George Washington
Here comes the “you’re erasing history” folks that apparently don’t understand the purpose of a history book....
Good. We don't need memorials to traitors.
❤️
I want all those Confederate flags hanging on the inside of windows removed too. And don't even get me started on those Dixie horns in cars.
Betting not🤪
Only took him a couple of years to rewrite it. Well done.
Good. Racism has no room in 2020.
Governor blackface has spoken.
Democrats erasing the history of their party.
Bye! Who next🤔
It's about time.
