Confederate and assorted historical monuments including the Robert E. Lee statue were just removed in Charlottesville, Virginia. All the usual suspects are celebrating this.

WATCH: Stonewall Jackson's statue was also removed this morning in Charlottesville.
It was erected in the 1920s, on land stolen from Black owners seven years earlier.

Myself and others did our best to try and stop this but unfortunately it wasn’t enough.
I guess the plan is to replace these great monuments with statues of drug-addicted criminal niggers like George Floyd.
