Racism is as intolerable as removing historical statues. The radical alt-left movement is out of control. Removing R.E.Lee statues is literally akin to ISIS (or moderate rebels as we're told) destroying Nebadcanezzer statues in Babylon (Iraq). Absolutely disgusting.
Yes, the democrats were bad, they liked slavery, Robert E. Lee fought against the northern Republicans, he's an historic figure, and an important one. But that's no reason to try to erase history.
How about people learn from history, good and bad, just learn. Don't destroy, just learn.
My 2 cents as a non-American
