    Robert Byrd is not memorialized in W. Virginia in a KKK uniform. Robert E. Lee is always depicted in a Confederate uniform.

    See the difference in purpose there by the statue builders? OF COURSE YOU DO but you're too dishonest and probably too racist to admit it.

    And, by the way, if Robert E. Lee ever apologized to black people after the war, or did anything significant for them, that would be news to me. For that matter, where did he ever express regret about fighting against our country? Got any enlightening news on those fronts?

    Just as I figured... the Confederate apologists are totally flumoxxed. I notice, too, that none of them were brave enough to field the Saddam statue issue.

    Saddam's statues were torn down in a spontaneous show of what the people of Iraq hoped was newfound freedom from the yoke of a dictator who was universally feared and despised. Everybody agreed Saddam's was evil. Nobody ever said Robert E. Lee was evil until libtard groupthink said so.

    To the best of my knowledge, Saddam put up his own statue himself. His own people cheered as it was torn down.

    In the Smithsonian.


    "The congressionally funded National Portrait Gallery of the (taxpayer-funded) Smithsonsian Institution has refused the request from a group of black pastors who asked that it remove a bust of eugenicist Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger from its "Struggle for Justice" exhibit.

    In refusing the pastors' request, the Smithsonian conceded Sanger's association with the eugenics movement and declared that it imposes no "moral test" when it honors Americans by placing their images in the National Portrait Gallery."


    "Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger’s Negro Project. Sanger created this program in 1939, after the organization changed its name from the American Birth Control League (ABCL) to the Birth Control Federation of America (BCFA).

    The aim of the program was to restrict–many believe exterminate–the black population. Under the pretense of "better health" and "family planning," Sanger cleverly implemented her plan. What’s more shocking is Sanger’s beguilement of black America’s créme de la créme–those prominent, well educated and well-to-do–into executing her scheme. Some within the black elite saw birth control as a means to attain economic empowerment, elevate the race and garner the respect of whites.....

    Sanger aligned herself with the eugenicists whose ideology prevailed in the early 20th century. Eugenicists strongly espoused racial supremacy and "purity"," particularly of the "Aryan" race. Eugenicists hoped to purify the bloodlines and improve the race by encouraging the "fit" to reproduce and the "unfit" to restrict their reproduction. They sought to contain the "inferior" races through segregation, sterilization, birth control and abortion."

    Funny, I don't recall an apology.
