And let it start in TN, where there was a lot of support for “the union”. And it still there with Lamar! and Corker.

Ok, so the guy was a racist but I don’t agree with moving his remains. Liberals have no shame in accomplishing their agenda! Heathens!

This is turning into a prolog for reparations. There is money in perpetuating victimhood.

Forrest was a complicated guy, and if you read a couple of speeches he made late in life, you might doubt he was a racist.

But I think his public image problem started with eating those babies for breakfast, after Fort Pillow....

One hundred of these s—t-eating city council types couldn’t have touched the man while he was alive.

Give him a pistol, throw him a knife...and watch them scuttle back into the muck.

Mayor Wharton said this is a movement designed to honor Forrest’s will and testament, in which his last wish was that he and his wife be buried at Elmwood Cemetery.

Everybody who believes this reason and reasoning please raise your hand.

If Forrest was as racist as the Memphis city council seems to believe, he would approve wholeheartedly of his remains being moved out of that city.
Memphis is a shithole.

ROFL. Obviously, the liberals have gone wild and feel they have every right now to openly insult the South. Wonder how this is all going end up? I have the feeling someone intends to enslave all of us.

Wouldn’t they need permission of any remaining family for a disinterment?

Destroy the history, destroy the remnants of truth, erase from all the public memory the struggles of a Nation...

This vacuum started its sucking sound several generations ago in classrooms across America.

And now those adult-children only see the world as victims, not a Nation in triumph over its own struggles.

Let’s reach across the aisle and suggest moving the good General to Graceland.

Memphis is now officially a no-go zone for whites.

This time they do it with a bit of faux respect and that costs money. Next time they will just destroy it because that is cheaper.

Not even the dead are safe from racist witch hunts anymore. “That dead corpse over there is a racist! Dig him up!”
