“The broader lesson of Lee's statue coming down is that no victory is ever definitive. No surrender ever final. Because the forces that oppose it endure,” says Chris Hayes.

“We must learn to live together as brothers or we will all perish together as fools.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.
@Last Nightmare yeah, keep telling yourself those lies.
@Last Nightmare why are you so scared to see the inequality?
@Evil Monkey The left disavowed King when they embraced BLM™ Corp.
@Evil Monkey The only inequality is the left pushing for racial superiority by claiming “diversity”.
After the 19th amendment passed, Black women did vote and run for office in New York, as opposed to many states that passed state and local laws disenfranchising them. But Native American women and Asian American women were barred from voting due to other federal citizenship laws: Native women until 1924 and some Asian women until the 1950s
Sometimes HATRED is a sign of insecurity… I guess we have a lot of insecure people in America 🇺🇸
@James Arnold yawn…
@Jillian Jillian bless your heart. Expand the sources of where you get your information
@Mike
😂😂😂
I imagine you’re insecure
@Rudi Rüttger I’m assuming you’re on the left. They make a whole lot of assumptions without really knowing the facts or anyting. That’s cool that you think this person is insecure without knowing them. That tells me you put a lot of thought in your conclusions
It’s open season on murals and statues.
I put a Hitler moustache on the ugly mug of Breonna Taylor on a local mural last night.
Good times.
you should’ve self-snitched in a live video rather than the comment section… ijs
“Earth’s Holocaust” by Nathaniel Hawthorne
Multi-racial democracy? Wtf are you talking about?
People are proud of their heritage. I’m sure you’re aware of that. Did the word racial offend you ?
@Seymour Butts There’s only one race buddy.
@Juan Valdez Yeah maybe 500,000 years from now. Interracial marriage was illegal in over half the country till 1967.Just think how closer we would be to one race if that wasn’t so.
That means “no yt people”
@Seymour Butts people who no roots in this country do not get to claim heritage here
Schools need to teach history.
@90s were The best Ok, that is a fair thing to say. He still lost and surrendered to General Ulysses Grant but yes he was honestly a good at his job and did lead his people well. It still means that we have statues honoring the person who lost for some reason. I guess by that logic we should put up statues of the Taliban now that they won which sucks.
@RHINOSAUR I bet you started sweating profusely typing that…Well Done!! You made your point to….Nobody! Failuresaur*
@RHINOSAUR Evan
@90s were The best As a Mexican-American I had to wait for a Mexican American studies class in college to learn about important Mexican American figures and the genocide of Mexicans and Mexican-Americans in the hands of Texas Rangers and other armed groups. Conservatives don’t want history to be taught in High Schools.
@Real FakeNews Respect, but your comparison is way off. You should learn more about history. There were people in the south that were against fighting a war against the north and it almost didn’t happen. It was bother against brother fighting in that war.
I want the base gone now the graffiti offends me
Do you do the Bellamy Salute for the pledge of allegiance? I doubt it
@Jeff Padgett no one uses that anymore
Yet the elites in the government still hold all the power in the end
Good point. No matter how much they are distracted by the elites with fake narratives and nonsence fake problems at the end of the day those responsible for your oppression are still in power, the elites trick has worked. Keep the people fighting eachother and they won’t focus of us, the real problem. After all a house divided cannot stand
Democracy is being eroded today for everyone.
Nevermind the statute. 🤦
It would appear this fella needs to take a history lesson. I just love how the media takes history out of context and then rewrites history to suit themselves.
@Reaching for the STARS I always hear this: To the victors go the spoils. I invite you to look up just who and what Robert E Lee was. You may change your opinion. People take things out of context and do not educate themselves.
@Robert Westall not spoils, history is written by the victors, there’s a difference, and I’m aware of who he was. If you paid attention, I was actually agreeing with your original statement
@Reaching for the STARS I stand corrected, and apologize. Thank you.
Dems white washing there past and taking down a guys statue that didn’t own slaves hhmmm
@Robert Read a “Recent American History” book, and you will learn that near the end of the 19th century, the “Southern” Democrats talked the North or “Republicans” into changing party names… and just after the turn of the century (1900’s) they did in FACT change names… the Slave Owners, you know- the party who started the KKK… well, they were running from what they knew they had done, and what they had become in the eyes of The People, the WORLD… and they succeeded in coercing the Republicans into changing party names… the Democrats “took” the name Republicans, and the Northern Republicans became the Democrat Party.
So, READ a book, You Imbecile… you really should have payed attention back in High School.
This ongoing to this day ..This makes me sick to my stomach literally. Charlottesville, January 6th This is ridiculous and unexpectable. Your closing was horrible…As If !
Participation trophies for treasonous bigots who lost the civil war.
You won’t survive the civil war you’re creating.
Textbooks document, statues venerate. Venerating a man who betrayed his nation by turning traitor to preserve his “right” to own people is unacceptable.
Lee was a democrat, so….
I say rid all democrat statues
Jesus this guy just makes up his own story as he goes along.
So they’re pro democrat while tearing down their democratic statues????
“Those who CANNOT remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” –George Santayana
Oh and you are just concerned about that, right! You aren’t p… off because his horseless excellency just left with a cheerful song of good bye and good riddance!
Is this guy trying to start another civil war lol? He’s almost intentionally trying to turn us against eachother.
statues should remain up as a reminder to not repeat mistakes of the past.
Now it’s time to take down all MLK statue’s and monuments. Legally or illegally. It goes both ways.
