Bronze statutes of two Confederate generals are being taken from public property in Charlottesville, Virginia, on Saturday, almost four years after they were a flashpoint for a violent "Unite the Right" rally that left one person dead.
Heavy machinery lifted a statue of Robert E. Lee in Market Street Park from its stone base around 8 a.m.
A crowd that gathered to watch clapped and cheered.

Democrats continue to erase their history
“A crowd that gathered to watch clapped and cheered.”
*************
What does CNN consider to be a crowd? A hand full of people out of a population of 50,000?
Clapping and cheering at the destruction of history is not something to celebrate. Society can learn valuable lessons from understanding it’s past.
So how’s the replacement Mao and Stalin statues look?
None of the commie scum is fit to lick the mud off the boots of a man like Robert E. Lee.
When they demand that you pull down a statue out another up.
Screw the Woke.
Finally! They got rid of those statues! Blacks will no longer be a net drain on society !
In Boston there is a statue of Crispus Attucks, honoring a slave that fought in the Revolutionary War. But he fought to establish a racist and genocidal country. That statue needs to be removed also.
Biden has o get his 10%.
They do not understand RE Lee and his motives for involvement in the war.
Bring us Barrabas!
We own rural property in Albemarle county. They are welcome to put the statues there.
And the removal of our history is destroyed.
The House of Liberty
by JoYCE BROWN, age 16
I came not for fortune, nor for fame,
I seek not to add glory to an unknown name,
I did not come under the shadow of night,
I came by day to fight for what’s right.
I shan’t let fear, my monstrous foe,
Conquer my soul with threat and woe.
Here I have come and here I shall stay,
And no amount of fear my determination can sway.
I asked for your churches, and you turned me down,
But I’ll do my work if I have to do it on the ground,
You will not speak for fear of being heard,
So crawl in your shell and say, “Do not disturb.”
You think because you’ve turned me away
You’ve protected yourself for another day,
But tomorrow surely must come,
And your enemy will still be there with the rising sun;
He’ll be there tomorrow as all tomorrows in the past,
And he’ll follow you into the future if you let him pass.
You’ve turned me down to humor him,
Ah! Your fate is sad and grim.
For even tho’ your help I ask,
Even without it, I’ll finish my task.
In a bombed house I have to teach my school,
Because I believe all men should live ~y the Golden Rule,
To a bombed house your children must come,
Because of your fear of a bomb,
And because you’ve let your fear conquer your soul,
In this bombed house these minds I must try to mold;
I must try to teach them to stand tall and be a man
When you, their parents, have cowered down and refused
to take a stand.

Watch and see, black IQ will jump from 85 to 105, the black crime rate will drop from 56 percent down to 15 percent, black illegitimacy rate will drop from 76 percent to 20 percent. It was those damn statues holding them back all these years, you just wait and see.
Amateurs, Portland tore down it’s bronze Elk statue long ago.
The WhiteWashing of history. Pretty soon, slavery will never have existed.
No Mao or Stalin.
But 0bama and Margaret Sanger will do the same.
Have they rewritten the history text books yet?
