    Are you making up this stuff or what? I never said it's racist to be proud of any history. The question is why you aren't proud of history without thinking of color first.

    For the same reason other people use insults and slurs to their own race, ethnicity or religion. I'm sure you've heard of Poles, Hispanics, Chinese etc. referring to their own as "that dumb Polack," "chink," "spic" etc. If you're not one of them, you don't culturally appropriate their insults.

    The Shenandoah County School Board changed Stonewall Jackson High School to Mountain View High School and Ashby-Lee Elementary School to Honey Run Elementary School in Quicksburg, following a board vote in July 2020 and final approval in January 2021.

    But less than two years later, a petition was launched to gauge the strength of feeling on reverting the schools back to their original names.

    Vocal opposition came from community members and alumni with more than 4,000 people signing the petition to switch the names back.

    You want to talk about Robert E. Lee? Well these are his words:

    Robert E. Lee opposed Confederate monuments

    At the center of the “Unite the Right” rally that turned deadly in Charlottesville last weekend was a protest of the city’s plan to remove a statue of Robert E. Lee. White supremacists, neo-Nazis and others have made monuments to the Confederate commanding general a flashpoint — at times marching to keep them standing.

    But Lee himself never wanted such monuments built.

    “I think it wiser,” the retired military leader wrote about a proposed Gettysburg memorial in 1869, “…not to keep open the sores of war but to follow the examples of those nations who endeavored to obliterate the marks of civil strife, to commit to oblivion the feelings engendered.”

    WATCH:The shifting history of Confederate monuments

    Lee died in 1870, just five years after the Civil War ended, contributing to his rise as a romantic symbol of the “lost cause” for some white southerners.

    But while he was alive, Lee stressed his belief that the country should move past the war. He swore allegiance to the Union and publicly decried southern separatism, whether militant or symbolic."

    Indeed, even if Marty was bright enough to understand that, he wouldn't admit it.

    I'm certainly brighter than you. But if you're "seeing" you were right in the context of this exchange: 1) It begs the question to say states had a right under the Constitution to secede. There was no right, merely the claim that since they joined on their own volition they retained an implicit right to leave. The question is why did they secede. 2) Virtually every Civil War historian will tell you that issues surrounding slavery were the primary cause of secession, the South's sense of grievance on the issue having become acerbated by Lincoln's election following the admissions of new states as free states from territory taken from Mexico in 1849 war which completely upset the balance in Congress between free and slave states. If you think the South wasn't morally comfortable about slavery read the Declaration of Secession issued by the legislature of South Carolina, the state that led the bandwagon.

    I don't believe he's a racist. You both have a war of words going and that is how he gets to you.
