Not all heroes wear blue overalls.

I don’t think there are less wrong reasons when it comes to supporting slavery. And Lee himself was a slaveholder. 

Also, Lee didn’t even want the statue in the first place:

We already have that. It’s called the United States of America.

Agreed. This article was needlessly shitty and snarky. I imagine the editor took out the uses of “Di$ney” to stop it from being full-on petulant politicised teenager.

Respect for having the courage to ask for help. 

I will hunt a mother fucker down if they even think of messing with this guy! As a child of color I grew up in shit neighborhood with a shit school system that was just passing me on through the grades. I was in the 3rd grade and I could not read.

You mean a Noble?
