I have absolutely no problem calling someone who was at the forefront of a bloody secessionist movement to preserve the institution of slavery an evil man.

There’s also the distinction that a whole lot of people during that time in history knew that slavery was messed up. So messed up, in fact, that a war started over it. Robert E. Lee was on the wrong side of that war, meaning that, in a time in which slavery was widely recognized as evil, he chose to defend it.

The crazy thing was w/this co. there were a handful of black people who teamed up w/the white people to bash the latinos...I had to remind them that it wasn’t long ago these same white people shared the same feelings about them. By long ago, I said I meant the last time they left the room.
