“Every MLK Day we are treated to a bevy of pieces about the actual scope and radicalism of King’s views, apparent in even his most celebrated speech. What I want to suggest is, what if we could just ignore all of that and celebrate the pretend King who makes me feel good?” — PolitiTweet.org

And as for the “Americans used to be able to revere Lee as a good man,” that’s just an example of how propaganda works. — PolitiTweet.org

Grant on Lee: “I felt like anything rather than rejoicing at the downfall of a foe who had fought so long and valiantly, & had suffered so much for a cause, though that cause was…one of the worst for which a people ever fought, & one for which there was the least excuse." — PolitiTweet.org

@timothypmurphy “Don’t hold slavery against Lee since, you see, he fought valiantly in this other war to expand and secure slavery.” — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

“Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.” — PolitiTweet.org

“It is ridiculous to seek to excuse Robert Lee as the most formidable agency this nation ever raised to make 4 million human beings goods instead of men.” — PolitiTweet.org

“Lee hesitated and hung his head in shame because he was asked to lead armies against human progress and Christian decency and did not dare refuse.” — PolitiTweet.org

“He followed Virginia not because he particularly loved slavery (although he certainly did not hate it), but because he did not have the moral courage to stand against his family and his clan.” — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

As always, worth reading Du Bois on Lee: “People do not go to war for abstract theories of government. They fight for property and privilege and that was what Virginia fought for in the Civil War. And Lee followed Virginia.” — PolitiTweet.org

Also, no one forced Lee to kidnap free Blacks to sell into slavery as he marched his army North. — PolitiTweet.org

1. Sometimes you make the one choice that defines your whole life. Tough shit. 2. No one forced Lee to resign his commission, and no one forced him join a slaver’s rebellion. He, like some of his peers, could have made a different choice. — PolitiTweet.org
