Most didn't and it shows lol ..

But it's DJT day anyways

Honoring terrorists is normal in the US unfortunately, as long as they're white supremacists.

 

[nhbbear]

Lee was a piece of shit and should not be celebrated in any fashion

 

[jk7707]

Call it what it is. Traitor Day. Because that's what they're honoring. Lee was from either state.

 

[UberHere]

Alabama and Mississippi still not taking that L. Do they still not realized they lost the war?

Wowzers

Robert E. Lee Day is recognized in Alabama, but it's celebrated on a state level in certain years. Traditionally, Robert E. Lee Day was observed on the third Monday in January, the same day as Martin Luther King Jr. Day, but in 2019, Alabama moved the holiday to the second Saturday in October.


Alabama:
Robert E. Lee Day was first designated as a state holiday in 1889.

Mississippi:
Robert E. Lee Day was first established as a state holiday in 1884, several years before it was officially observed in Alabama.


Still should be cancelled though, there is no reason for the day. I think statues should stay up though as a symbol of went USA went through.

The U.S. is set to mark Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the federal holiday set aside to honor the life of the civil rights icon. But in two states, Monday is also Robert E.

stupid ass troll bait

did you miss this sentence from your own post? "Their state governments created holidays more than a century ago."

i have lived in both of those states and trust me nobody celebrates anyone other than MLK.

So if you fell for this stupid bullshit then you're a gullible moron and i have a bridge i'd like to sell to you.

Honestly, I prefer that rightoids and feckless centrists go back to talking about King the way they did when he was alive instead of pretending to respect him and his legacy.

 

[ColemanwastheGOAT]

Im done just protect yourselves and your family, if this country implodes then oh well, the only thing
i do take pleasure in is knowing that when its all over and if there is a God that Eternal Fire awaits ....

My only question tho is why?

And then got the nerve to say "sToP bRinGiNg RaCe iNtO it"

Cry more, pussy.

 

[ColemanwastheGOAT]

I don't get celebrating losers.

Lee won several key victories. He was a very accomplished military leader, often winning battles when seriously outnumbered. He was more accomplished and a more noteworthy historical figure than anyone in your entire bloodline, past, present or future.

Lee has had a holiday there for a long time for absolutely no reason. Man was a scum bag
