Gov. Andrew Cuomo will yank the busts of two Confederate generals from CUNY’s Hall of Fame for Great Americans in the Bronx, he announced Wednesday night.

“Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson will be removed from the CUNY hall of great Americans because New York stands against racism,” Cuomo tweeted. “There are many great Americans, many of them New Yorkers worthy of a spot in this great hall. These two confederates are not among them.”

Busts of Lee and Jackson — best known for leading a seditious war against the Union — are featured in the hall alongside prominent black Americans such as inventor George Washington Carver and baseball great Jackie Robinson. Lee was inducted in 1900 and Jackson in 1955.

Cuomo’s announcement comes as municipalities across the country are removing statues dedicated to the Confederacy in response to the violent Virginia white power rally last week where a neo-Nazi rammed his car into a crowd of anti-racism protesters, killing one and injuring 19 others.

Once again Cuomo demonstrates That His ignorance and arrogance is without boundaries.



So far from engaging in a war to perpetuate slavery, I am rejoiced that Slavery is abolished. I believe it will be greatly for the interest of the South. So fully am I satisfied of this that I would have cheerfully lost all that I have lost by the war, and have suffered all that I have suffered to have this object attained. -Robert E. Lee

There is a terrible war coming, and these young men who have never seen war cannot wait for it to happen, but I tell you, I wish that I owned every slave in the South, for I would free them all to avoid this war.
Robert E. Lee

There are few, I believe, in this enlightened age, who will not acknowledge that slavery as an institution is a moral and political evil.
Robert E. Lee

A land without memories is a people without liberty.
Robert E. Lee

So far from engaging in a war to perpetuate slavery,I am rejoiced that slavery is abolished.


I am of the opinion that all who can should vote for the most intelligent, honest, and conscientious men eligible to office, irrespective of former party opinions, who will endeavour to make the new constitutions and the laws passed under them as beneficial as possible to the true interests, prosperity, and liberty of all classes and conditions of the people.
Robert E. Lee

I did only what my duty demanded. I could have taken no other course without dishonor.
Robert E. Lee

While we see the Course of the final abolition of human Slavery is onward, & we give it the aid of our prayers & all justifiable means in our power, we must leave the progress as well as the result in his hands who sees the end; who Chooses to work by slow influences; & with whom two thousand years are but as a Single day.

I will only accept it if it is replaced with bust of Andy and Mario with a double headed dildo in each of their mouths.

The left isn't concerned with the truth or real knowledge. It is all about virtue signaling and pretending like you know something. Given the iq of many americans, even an idiot seems like Einstein to them.

On a side note, in the 4th grade, Catholic school, I had to do a biographical book report. I chose to do it on Robert E Lee. Even then, as a 4th grader in the late 70's , I knew what a true American, leader, soldier and good hearted person torn by his love for his country and homeland General Lee was. Andy can never comprehend such great qualities nor achieve even a fraction of that.

Is utterly disgusting... These ball washing politicians submitting to the knee jerking of frothing foaming mouths spewing garbage that they little understand!

General R. E. Lee was well respected in the North as much as the South, he was not a racist! He was Superintendent of West Point, was offered top level command in the North prior to resigning and going home to defend his State or Virginia. All these morons as associating the people who fought that war with the racists/lunatics of contemporary times... It's all apples and oranges and laughably ridiculous except for the fever these Progressive Liberal tree hugging criminal migrant we need a new cause this week morons apply to it all. It has to stop! It won't though... It's a welcomed distraction that these politicians recognize will keep people's minds off the real problems as long as they can keep the flames stoked!

But, but, but the war wasn't about slavery! Right?

And yes, anyone slightly paying attention can see Cuomo's obvious angle as he tries to puff himself up in the national spotlight. He is a joke.

Wasn't Stonewall a hero of the war of 1812 ?? As Trump said...what about ALL the other slave owners prominent in US history. Soon George and others will be gone and supplanted by LGBT forefounders.
