Subject: Re: Speaking of the Confederacy
I'm asking you to support why you think the land is tainted just because it was once owned by Lee. I don't see your logic.
The statue however has images that invoke benevolent slavery, and possibly other Lost Cause themes - so it's tainted. But please explain why you think the property needs cleansing simply because it was owned by Lee.
I believe the statue in question, the Arlington cemetery land once owned by Robert E Lee and his wife to be a part of America’s History, not to be tampered with, but to learn from.
Your interruption being the statue is tainted, why not then the cemetery land, the sculpture, a confederate soldier also be considered as tainted?
In essence they are all of the same cloth so to speak linked to slavery.
I meant to point that fact? out, but I guess I was not very clear on it and maybe still not.
