At the least we will need to do away with MLK day. Someone with that past (relatively recent) should not be provided a federal holiday. Those that choose to celebrate that day can still do so...granted, it won’t be an excuse for getting out of school/work.

Lol...I actually like the topic. Keep talking about him. That’s even better for me. That way, I can keep rubbing your noses in it.

Like I said, white folks picked him because they were terrified of the alternatives. Me? I absolutely LOVE the alternatives. People like Malcolm X, Huey Newton and Assata Shakur are right up my alley. Love’em. King was black clergy, and I can’t stand the black clergy anyway. I don’t even think that African Americans should be Christians. You’re just upset that whites didn’t pick a better horse. That’s not my problem.

It’s yours.

Lee committed treason against this country. He should’ve been hanged after the war.


Nah...we’ll STILL be going after the Confederate, racist, seditious, Slave owning traitors from the South and demanding that our tax dollars aren’t used to maintain their statues and other commemorative items. Those still have to go if they’re anywhere near where we live or even gallivant.

That’s just how it’s gotta be.

He deserves to be despised but too much has been invested in making him a hero. I hope he is roasting in Hell right now.

So do you think Washington, Hamilton, Jefferson, Revere, Hancock, etc. should have been hanged for "treason"?

Ever notice that the same ones who deride the United States as a racist, imperialist, genocidal nation are the same ones who pontificate about "treason?" Treason against a nation they disdain to begin with?

How does that work?

Winners aren’t tried for treason. Yes, our founding fathers committed treason against the British.

The Founders aren’t traitors. Sorry.

How many men and women did Lee beat, whip, and rape? How many children did he sell away from their families?

And don’t gimme any nonsense about him being a kind and benevolent master. There’s no such thing.
