As if people today even know who the hell Robert E Lee was. But a white guy telling a black guy he ain't black? Lol let's see how this plays out for Joe.
If you want to visit a true story of shame and degradation that should outrage every Africa American - visit the true definitions of racist - Rwanda. During the Rwandan genocide of 1994, members of the Hutu ethnic majority in the east-central African nation of Rwanda murdered as many as 800,000 people, mostly of the Tutsi minority. Started by Hutu nationalists in the capital of Kigali, the genocide spread throughout the country with shocking speed and brutality, as ordinary citizens were incited by local officials and the Hutu Power government to take up arms against their neighbors. By the time the Tutsi-led Rwandese Patriotic Front gained control of the country through a military offensive in early July, hundreds of thousands of Rwandans were dead and 2 million refugees (mainly Hutus) fled Rwanda, exacerbating what had already become a full-blown humanitarian crisis. This is the true sense of racism. Killing another group for no other reason than they are different. Remember Rwanda - Few more shameful acts in all of human history. This was black on black. I suspect you know very little about the personalities of The Civil War. Any knowing individual would honor and respect - Robert E Lee - as not an outstanding Southern but an outstanding American. More shame should be bestowed on the carpetbaggers from the North who raped and pillaged settlements in the South. Being especially stern to African Americans. Lincolns plan at one time was to send all blacks back to Africa. There is not an African America today who regrets that his ancestors freed him from the oppression of one tribe over another that was and still is a way of life in Africa. Have never heard an African America say - "Sure would like to go back to Africa and try a little shuck and jive." REMEMBER RWANDA - 1994. Somehow they left this out of Black History Month.
