End of History: Virginia’s Robert E. Lee Statue Coming Down

A 130-year-old statue of Civil War General Robert E. Lee that dominates a traffic circle in Richmond, Virginia, will fall Wednesday. The demise of the largest extant Confederate monument in the United States draws to a close a series of protracted legal challenges that began more than a year ago when Gov. Ralph Northam ordered its removal.

“Virginia’s largest monument to the Confederate insurrection will come down this week,” the Democratic governor said in a statement. “This is an important step in showing who we are and what we value as a Commonwealth.”

As Breitbart News reported, the iconic statue weighs approximately 12 tons, stands 21 feet tall, and has been on a 40-foot pedestal for 130 years.

A string of lawsuits have been mounted over the years seeking to strike it down, however a deed signed in 1890 that gave Virginia control of the monument prevented its removal.

The nationally recognized, French-made statue became the epicenter of a protest movement in Virginia after the death of George Floyd.

A judge in Richmond, Virginia, on Monday temporarily blocked Gov. Ralph Northam’s order to tear down a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee that has towered over a traffic circle since it was erected 130 years ago. https://t.co/4x3sJBdxz7

William Gregory, a descendent of the donating family, fought the removal. He argued original deeds from more than a century ago stated the state agreed to view the monument and the ground it stands upon as “perpetually sacred.”

Now that notion has been overturned after the Virginia Supreme Court ruled last week in the state’s favor and approved the statue’s demolition, UPI reports.

In its unanimous ruling, the court said there was no evidence in the original deeds made with the state showing that he had any ownership interest in any land concerning the statue, “[t]hus, he has no property right related to the Lee monument,” allowing for it to be torn down.

The statue, erected in 1890, will be placed in storage until a decision has been made on what to do with it as well as the protest graffiti which has gathered over the base in the past year.

“We are taking an important step this week to embrace the righteous cause and put the ‘Lost Cause’ behind us,” Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney said, according to UPI.

Back in '12 when I was at PhillyPhreedom we thought we'd check out the Liberty Bell. It was inside of a high security building. To enter, you had to remove your shoes, be searched by government agents, even the kids had to lift their shirts up to the necks.
.
To this day I don't know what the inside of that 4th Amendment Land of the Free Home of the Brave building looks like.

That was the beginning of my trek toward Individualism.

Concerning this statue removal, I'm against it...

Nature has endowed the various races of man with widely different qualities, bodily and mental, much in the same way as it has done with several closely allied species of the lower animals. When the qualities of different races of man are equal, no detriment results from their union. The mongrel French and English are equal to the pure breeds of Germany and Scandinavia. When, on the other hand, they are unequal, deterioration of the higher race is the inevitable result." John Crawford. Anthropological Review, Vol. I., page 405.

Ya got a 16 ft statue of Lenin in Seattle . You got house rep's drafting legislation for women to be drafted . Ya live in a society where half oppose pot but half support abortion . If you think this is salvageable I'm here to tell you that is most likely wrong .

Pretty much thinking along your lines.

You just never stop, do you troll?

This is not that sewer stormfront and we do not appreciate the pipeline to that sewage. How many time will you have to be banned, Floral Scent, before you get that through your head?

Don't even try to argue relevance. Lee was descended from the very people who further "diversified" this continent, and by force.

You're the one whom is trolling I.

Quite a bit lately, for some reason.
If you think I'm going to be banned here for posting a quote from Archaeological Review, you have another thing coming.

Using the language incorrectly in an attempt to sound highbrow cannot disguise the fact that this site is about Ron Paul and his movement. Which, in turn, is about individuals and their freedom, not about eugenics. If you want to talk eugenics, go see if Bill Gates has a forum.

Stop trolling me. I have never endorsed EUGENICS, nor did I mention it in ANY CONTEXT in this thread.

So you suppose that if I quoted Josef Mengele for some reason, I would be banned here? That's interesting.
Any mods want to chip in on that prospect?

Good idea, FloralScent. And while he's here, we can discuss this:

Having your previous account banned is not a valid reason for an additional account.

They pd pretty good money for all that fancy painting . Pretty sure they got what they wanted or they wouldnt have hired an Italian painter.

Oh yes, a painting of the apotheosis of Washington was certainly what they wanted, that the dwellers on the earth might be deceived into worshiping the image of the beast.

Virginia cuts Confederate Gen. Robert Lee statue into pieces

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — A crowd erupted in cheers and song Wednesday as work crews hoisted an enormous statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee off the pedestal where it has towered over Virginia’s capital city for more than a century.

One of America’s largest monuments to the Confederacy, the equestrian statue was lowered to the ground just before 9 a.m., after a construction worker who strapped harnesses around Lee and his horse lifted his arms in the air and counted, “Three, two, one!” to jubilant shouts from a crowd of hundreds. A work crew then began cutting it into pieces.

“Any remnant like this that glorifies the Lost Cause of the Civil War, it needs to come down, said Gov. BLACKFACE Ralph Northam, who called it “hopefully a new day, a new era in Virginia.” The Democrat said it represents “more than 400 years of history that we should not be proud of.”

“This is a historic moment for the city of Richmond. The city, the community at large is saying that we’re not going to stand for these symbols of hate in our city anymore,” said Rachel Smucker, 28, a white woman who moved to Richmond three years ago. “I’ve always found it to be offensive, as a symbol of protecting slavery and the racism that people of color still face today.”

Ironic that this was done to the man who refused to be king.

If George had been resurrected even that long ago, he'd have probably demanded that the city be renamed something else. Now he'd do the same about the state.

I was just thinking that RE Lee probably wouldn't want his likeness displayed in this country as it has become.

My regular readers are familiar with my concept of “Critical Mass Unsalvageables.” It’s never a matter of an entire community being unsalvageable—there will always be people in any community who are decent and productive—but rather whether a community has reached peak unsalvageables, making the harm done by that community so great as to nullify the presence of the decent and productive. L.A.’s blacks long ago reached Critical Mass Unsalvageables. Individually, there are a lot of great blacks out here, some of whom are my lifelong friends. But the city’s better off without the community. Secular American Jews (as opposed to the Orthodox and Persians) are politically unsalvageable. Most will never stop waging war against Western civilization. The destroyers nullify the polio curers.

So, our Mexicans are untested, and our rapidly decreasing blacks, our gradually increasing Asians, and our moneyed and influential secular Jews are a lost cause. What about our non-Jewish non-Hispanic whites?

Ay yi yi, they’re the woist of all. The leftist ones represent the bottom of the barrel of self-hating “please genocide me before I enslave again,” “I hope my son goes tranny so that my foul DNA might dead-end with my progeny’s amputated penis” wastes of space. The mostly non-Jewish white upscale deep-blue city of Manhattan Beach, for example, is filled with self-flagellating WASPs who spend their time trying to make their safe city less safe by “giving land back” to blacks who were supposedly racisted out of town in the 1920s.

And now Manhattan Beach is regularly visited by black criminals, from serial rapists to boardwalk thieves to a home-invasion attempted murder just a week ago. I’m sure the guilt-ridden Robin DiAngelos of Manhattan Beach excuse these crimes as justified reparations owed to noble negroes.

There are plenty of sane white folks in California; we still have some strongly red areas (sorry to disappoint those who want to paint the entire state as a dystopia). But L.A. County? As with our blacks, there are some fine whites here, but not nearly enough to make a difference. Our whites are at peak unsalvageables.

The Lenin statue was meant to be ironic when the guy bought it and put it up there in Fremont. I don't think it was the greatest execution of humor, but it is what it is. What's crazy, is that in the decades since, it's become accepted as a full tribute. Seattle used to be very libertarian even though they didn't realize it. Now that Marxist thinking has completely taken it over, it's a lost cause.

All that does is inspire pro-Confederate types like myself to more vehemently take up the cause of the South in fighting for more decentralized government.

It's interesting that you think that considering that the CSA's government was more centralized than the USA's.
