you could practically vandalize anything you wanted at this point, and just smear 'BLM' over it after you're done. reddit and twitter are sure to make the case for you, that whatever it is you vandalized is somehow racist
BLM vandalization could be the cornfield circles of the 21st century. just do it and let other people make sense of it
Except I know who did it because they told me about it the other 3-4 times they did it. Same statue, and the same paint splashed in the same place and each time they wrote the same thing
Iirc, Lee was less racist than most Southerners at the time. He detested slavery as a moral and religious evil, but he thought black people were below him (which was a belief held even by abolitionists at the time). He protested against immediate ending of slavery, but he also protested against slavery.
There's probably better characters to criticize of racism if that's what your into, especially in the south.
Eh fuck Robert E Lee and the treasonous Confederacy. It's trashy but monuments to supporters of treason and race based chattel slavery are trashy as well.
Agreed. The city council just recently decided to prohibit a giant Confederate flag that was flown right next to the major highway that runs through the city. It had been up for at least 10 years so I seriously doubt these statues are coming down any time soon.
What's kind of fucked is that the people who vandalized this statue aren't even members of BLM but BLM will bear the brunt of the criticism for it.

BLM isn't even responsible for it but they're getting blamed
1 d-amazo 2018-08-04
no kidding, it's like the graffiti says 'BLM' or something to indicate their group may somehow be the culprits

Imagine geniunely thinking painting a statue of a general who fought to preserve slavery is some how applicable to everything.

The existence of confederate statues is prima facie evidence that plenty of people actually don't think black lives matter.
1 headasplodes 2018-08-04
Lol there's not even any paint on the statue itself
