Germany doesn't need memorials of Hitler to remember what happened and Nazi soldiers aren't worthy of honor.

Pentagon is reinstalling portrait of Confederate General Robert E. Lee that includes a slave​


A portrait of Confederate general Robert E Lee that includes a slave guiding his horse is set to be reinstated in the Pentagon.

The 20-foot-tall painting, which was on display at the United States Military Academy for 70 years, will be hung in the West Point library under President Trump’s instruction despite a congressionally mandated commission that ordered its removal back in 2020.

This is COMPLETELY inappropriate and ABSOLUTELY and COMPLETELY racist.

Memorials to the victims, not those ones who committed the crimes. The Confederate traitors committed the crimes, and they ABSOLUTELY DO NOT deserve statues or memorials.

We know that you have no issue with the enslavement of black people.

What, did you think that you were surprising us somehow?

From google AI:

During the Civil War, the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York, was under the control of the Union government, but its graduates fought for both sides. The academy itself continued its mission to train army officers for the United States, but a significant number of its alumni joined the Confederate army, leading to anger in Congress and even a proposal to close West Point.

Let go of the good guy/bad guy decisive ideology. These a huge historical significance to Robert E Lee. Far more than some pretend accomplishment of some obscure woke nobody.

So please tell me WHERE in Germany there is a painting of Hitler and a Jewish concentration camp victim beside him?
If you can find one, please let us know, deal?

Well, at least this thread will be helpful in identifying the pro-human-slavery crowd. We now know two of our local MAGA are fine with the physical enslavement of black people and would not lift a finger to prevent it. Let's see whom else throws in with them.

I agree West Point should be closed.
