Nobody knows who “Barbara Rose Johns” is. Robert E. Lee was about a million times more historically significant. He was also a million times more honorable and courageous than all of the politicians applauding in this video. https://t.co/n2AauZDNhg

Black Lives Matter using the judiciary to fight their battles against against white.  Glad to see they're not violent or belligerent.

Some references to Barbara Rose Johns.  So they need to identify her or call her by her first, middle, and last name like all historical dignitaries.  Got to elevate the unknown college student somehow, right?  This woman is immeasurably irrelevant.  I mean from 1861 to the 1990s, the US Civil War was the defining historical event that involved everyone had an opinion on, took sides, defending that position, citing both warrior heroes, key battles, and politicians. We even had jokes about the Civil War in the lare 60s, like "Remember Grant. Remember Lee. The hell with them, remember me."  That was an actual line recorded in my 1969 junior high school yearbook by classmate, Mike Carpenter.  In the 5th grade, U used to have terrific walking conversations on Civil War figures with classmate, Craig.  It was one of the most honoring, comfortable fluid conversations I'd had ever since.  In the 5th grade.  The topic was exhaulting, and having an opinion on such a defining event in our nation's history exalted us young men. And we're replacing that important, relevant, grave discussion with a statue that tells the nation to genuflect, or whom they ought to genuflect to as part of a collective national humiliating "take a knee" moment?   who commanded no attention and little respect, who commanded no army, who had no following, where even her enemies and heirs could not honor the way the Robert E. Lee has been honored.  I mean it's laughable to think that erecting a statue of a black student somehow elevates the nation. But this is what the Yankee-Chinese axis loves to do--humiliate a nation's pride by ripping out monuments that symbolize its character and heart. 

It's a week attempt at rewriting history perhaps the removal of these great men that made up our country will inspire students to read up biographies on Robert E. Lee his character and his actions in battle and in peace.
