Despicable as the Lee family continues to run scared.

 City and state officials have reached an agreement to transfer ownership of the statue and pedestal of Gen. Robert E. Lee to the Black History Museum and Cultural Center of Virginia, which has also agreed to take possession of all the other Confederate memorials removed from Richmond since last year.

Under this arrangement, Richmond’s Black History Museum would work in partnership with the Valentine museum — which has chronicled the city’s history for more than a century — and local community members to determine the fates of the stone and bronze symbols of the Confederacy.

  1. All this pisses me off and I am from Montana. Everything civil war to me is sacred. Hundreds of thousands of lives were lost and many more men were crippled for life. Fucking around and removing the statues and plaques is just plain wrong. These goddam panty-waste cry-babies have got to be shut-the-hell-up. Tell them to stop destroying this wonderful country. Please put them back where they were intended to be.

  2. Want to bet they melt them all down and make a memorial to George Floyd and/or BLM?
