These symbols on public land perpetuate hateful stereotype's that only hold us back and harm our children. Far past time to move them elsewhere. A people, professing to respect our constitution, should be strong enough to accept that.
General Lee is a part of history, whether one likes it or not. Only SJWs and left wingers are offended enough to demand that statue be removed.

Tell that to the "anti-protestors" who were basically holding signs of BLM, F-words, and other hatred signs and instigated the white power group. Lets face it, despite what CNN and MSNBC are showing on TV, this wasn't a one-sided attack where the whites were in the wrong and everyone else was innocent..........
I don't like their message - but it's their right, protected speech, and right to assembly. So as long as they do it peacefully without harming persons or property, they can say what they want. The liberal message is you only have free speech and a right to protest and assemble IF you tow along their line - their beliefs. If not, you don't have a right to have that opinion. That's the new left.
And I'm saying this as a non-white person, someone who immigrated here in the early 90s.
