Can we please remove this horrible racist from our dime...

Can we please remove this horrible racist from our dime? He imprisoned the poor japanese and snubbed black hero Jessie Owens. He also kept the army segregated!

might as well remove your country at this point, I mean its creation caused the disenfranchisement and suffering of a trillion native americans who were driven out of their lands

Interesting, but while his legacy may be tainted by those things, it is not defined by it.

Robert E. Lee would be insignificant to the historical record--not worthy of a national newspaper obituary let alone a monument were he not revered by racists for being a defender of the right to own humans as property.

Bump

>for being a defender of the right to own humans as property.
Can you show where in his words he believed in that?

WE HAVE TO GIVE IT BACK TO THEM

he's revered because he was a brilliant general and a noble figure of days gone by

Lee was very adamant in his opposition to slavery. He fought for the Confederacy because his home state of Virginia seceded.

>Robert E. Lee
the leader of the Confederate Army is insignificant to US historical record?

This is what idiots believe, I'm not even a civil war nor do I give shit if the statues come down but this is a new level of stupid even for a post modern communist

No you are the idiot. You are more than an idiot because you are claiming that I am an idiot when it is because you can't read that you came to that conclusion.

Since when did failure = brilliance?
Nobility means defending the right to own humans as property, rape, and murder them? I guess you are a very noble human being.

we're at pretending to be retarded already. you can do better than that.

Wait, you are telling me the civil war had nothing to do with slavery? I'm sure that's what the daughter's of the confederacy would love for you to believe.

How about his actions, faggot.

Dont debate communists, its useless.

Fuck off nazi scum.

Fuck FDR. Please do remove him.

holy fuck nuts you idiot statues aren't the only history, history is in books

and no i didnt come to you assinine conclusion, wether or not there are statues erected They're not going skip over the civil fucking war in america you self inflated post monderist jackass

OMFG!

GOOD ONE!

I have a better one
DIE Nigger like that land whale did in charlottesville

I too want to see this fucking socialist removed from money, it's like some sort of sick joke that they'd put a commie on money

Read my fucking post with two eyes and not some chink-like glance over followed by a knee-jerk reply. Robert E. Lee is a minor historical figure if he was not the general of the confederate army. His entire legacy is the civil war and the civil war is chiefly about slavery. Do not fucking attempt to distort either of these points.

He married a granddaughter of George Washington. His estate was turned into the Arlington National Cemetery.

ONLY FUCKING SHIT

Niggers really believe we fought the civil war over them

Yes, a minor historical figure. Would his name being in a highschool text book? Probably not. Would there be multiple monuments to his existence? NO.

>Would his name being in a highschool text book?

Yes, a history text book.

Lol, you are more a coon than me. At least I'm literate and comprehend the historical record as it is understood by most historians and not right wing nutters.

A highschool history text book would make mention of a random military figure from the 1860s that did nothing of lasting significance? WHY? Once again, you are failing to grasp that Robert E. Lee is only known to anyone in 2017 because of his involvement in the civil war. Can't believe this is the third time I have to reiterate my point because you inbred southern baptists are so fucking dumb.

How the fuck do you know what his life would of led to had the civil war not happened?

>If it wasn't for this historical moment, people wouldn't remember historical people.

I can smell the fucking communism coming from your post. Shareblue/leftypol is in fucking overdrive ever since Trump called out the alt left.

>t.Niggers are the sole responsibility for all american history, not only did they single handedly build the country they are responsible for every white mans legacy

This fucking guy

Fucking idiot. This point is made in the context of OP's argument. I'm sorry logic is so hard to follow.

Umm that's not what I said. It's not controversial to suggest the civil war was about slavery. Want to know why?

Before Civil war= slavery
After Civil war=no slavery.

What a moronic retort. Jesus christ is that the best you have?

>implying you can turn on a dime

Do you gas huffing commie larpers have any idea how much I want you to be killed? Do you have any idea at all how much I want you to die?

you don't present an argument other then if history didn't turn out the way it did we wouldnt have historical figures

And?
