RICHMOND — Workers have removed Virginia’s biggest statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee from its towering stone base, ending its 131-year reign as the embodiment of this city’s mythology as the former capital of the Confederacy.

As they began to move the statue off its pedestal, workers on the cherry picker began waving their arms, a crowd of hundreds cheered and a worker held up five fingers then four then three two one and the crane lifted the statue from its base. The crowd roared and began singing, “Hey, hey, hey, goodbye!”

 

Good bye!!!

Poor Lee, no one really complaining that fool's statue is coming down. That Lincoln one isn't so great anyway

All the more reason to learn from history rather than destroying it.

 

Removing statues is not erasing history. Literally not mentioning it in history books, removing any museum or historical acknowledgement to it would be. I don't think anyone disagrees that it would be a complete mistake to pretend the civil war never existed, but their are elements of it that have no belonging in a regular public area unless in a museum.

We’re just making room for the new ones after the war. We’ll have one for Gym Jordan and Matt Gaetz. Of course the fallen leader Donald will have one. 
 

The fallen heros of our time.

Nope, if removing statues is removing "history" then you are also against Saddam's statue coming down, and Hitlers and Stalins. So stupid

The "Hero" Robert E Lee. This is how he treated his enslaved people that he was suppose to free 

 

Quote

“... We remained in prison fifteen days, when we were sent back to Arlington; we were immediately taken before Gen. Lee, who demanded the reason why we ran away; we frankly told him that we considered ourselves free; he then told us he would teach us a lesson we never would forget; he then ordered us to the barn, where in his presence, we were tied firmly to posts by a Mr. Gwin, our overseer, who was ordered by Gen. Lee to strip us to the waist and give us fifty lashes each, excepting my sister, who received but twenty; we were accordingly stripped to the skin by the overseer, who, however, had sufficient humanity to decline whipping us; accordingly Dick Williams, a county constable was called in, who gave us the number of lashes ordered; Gen. Lee, in the meantime, stood by, and frequently enjoined Williams to ‘lay it on well,’ an injunction which he did not fail to heed; not satisfied with simply lacerating our naked flesh, Gen. Lee then ordered the overseer to thoroughly wash our backs with brine, which was done.”

Demented Biden should be impeached for letting the statues be taken down.  Lee was one of the greatest statesman in US history.  Biden's too demented to know that. Harris is too stupid.  What a mess.

Lee was what? He wasn't a statesmen at all. Not sure where you are getting that. He was a traitor, the leader of a rebellion to destroy the nation and keep slavery legal. He was pretty much a POS slaveholder

One of the greatest leaders in history.  Nearly defeated the larger and better equipped Union Army.  They should be putting more statues of him up, not taking them down.

Ya, nice move that Pickett's Charge there. Brilliant! Fought a rebellion for slavery. 

 

Do you like him because he was so racist he helped kill thousands of American soldiers, helped drag more into the hell of slavery and worked to undermine the freeing of others. Great guy, if you are a total racist

Don’t fight with them they like losers. They like Trump who lost at business so many times his books end at chapter 7 and could t beat sleepy Joe. They like losers so much they want statutes of the losers.

He’s an aristocrat who took advantage of poor, dumb white guys.  No surprise that he’s beloved by some here.
