Robert E. Lee Can Suck My Whole Ass
By I’ve seen a lot of beautiful things in my life. I’ve been in the Sagrada Familia and The Louvre. I’ve seen Vienna and I’ve seen Bangkok. I’ve been at Copan and I’ve been at Ayutthaya. I’ve been in the deserts of New Mexico and I’ve been in the deserts of Bolivia. I’ve walked through Times Square at 3 AM on January 1 after a New Year’s Eve Drive By Truckers show and I’ve seen the last show Chet Atkins ever played. I’ve seen grizzly bears and moose. I’ve seen poison dart frogs and I’ve seen orangutans feeding. I’ve see the resplendent quetzal and I’ve climbed a mountain in Bolivia to view a waterfall where Andean condors from 100 miles or more around come to bathe. I’ve seen the food stalls of Oaxaca and I’ve seen the food stalls of Singapore. Even today, I saw a pair of bald eagles fishing. But I’ve never in my entire life seen something as beautiful as what is in Richmond right now, which I visited this morning.
Seeing the Lee statue right now is incredibly powerful and beautiful. Just an amazing time and place. And I am sure all the super rich whites who live on Monument Avenue are just thrilled…..The Davis and Stuart states are already gone. I don’t know what the plans are for the Lee statue at this time, but I assume it is coming down soon. Insulting the statue through direct action though, this is something to see.
