Governor Ralph “Blackface” Northam announced on Thursday he is removing the historic statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee in Richmond, Virginia.
The Robert E. Lee statue in Richmond was created by French sculptor Antonin Mercie. The cornerstone to the monument was placed in October 1887.
The statue was vandalized by leftists this past week in George Floyd protests.
Northam is famous for posing in blackface or KKK in his college yearbook.

"Yes, that statue has been there for a long time. But it was wrong then, and it is wrong now. So we're taking it down," Northam said.

I don’t remember General Lee ever being photographed in black face.

I guess Italy should destroy all remnants of ancient Rome because they had emperors and owned slaves.
Bulldoze the Coliseum.

Well then the Democrat Party needs to be dismantled because we know it’s long history of racism. Slavery, Jim Crow, and the segregation of public facilities just to name a few of the racist policies of the party of Governor Blackface!

Don’t know if coonman can do it. Supposedly they are considered war memorials and are protected by the VA constitution. The courts have upheld this.
In charlotsville they covered them with tarps but could not remove them.

The Democrat legislature repealed the law that prevented their removal.

Agreed-that statue was never wrong, Lee was a good and great man. A thousand times a better man than this spineless hypocrite governor.

Yes, and can The Father Of Our Country be far behind, after all he had slaves. When do we start talking about 21st century slave owners, generally Muslims?

Damn shame.
Yes, they lost. and losers of wars suffer just this treatment
Robert supported reconstruction despite it’s faults.
One day his detractors will lose, and have to deal with it.
