Poll: Should the portrait of Gen. Robert E. Lee be removed from Lee County Commission chambers?
Local $NAACP$ Chapter President James Muwakki
In a letter to commissioners, Muwakkil stated that Lee fought for slavery; thus, his image stands contrary to contemporary beliefs.
“That painting is a symbol of racism,” he said. “It’s a symbol of divisiveness, and it doesn’t unify Lee County, it divides Lee County.”

I bet they wet their panties when MUWAKKI said Lee's portrait has to be taken down in LEE COUNTY.
ReplyDeleteIf MUWAKKI of the NAACP doesn't like Lee's portrait he should be taken down, not Lee.
I hear Kenya doesn't have any Lee portraits.
& he is welcome to go post haste.
DeleteHow could someone that freed his own slaves be called a racist?
ReplyDeleteLet's just re-write the history books, while we're at it.

Already been done, but we shall persevere, no matter how long it takes.
DeleteI certainly hope Muwakki was told to go straight to hell, no detours, do not pass go, and btw, stay there. ;)

He ought to go to Africa, I hear all the countries give you more welfare than we do........:)
Delete"Contemporary beliefs" is a key phrase. These people's beliefs change with the wind, or their political needs.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Lee County will cave eventually. The NAACP will keep pushing until they get a County Government that is receptive, or just tired of fighting.
Can't imagine why they would have a picture of the good General in Lee County.......:)
