1861-1933. After the election of Abraham Lincoln, Southern Democratsled the charge to secede from the Union and establish the ConfederateStates. The United States Congress was dominated by Republicans, save for Andrew Johnson of Tennessee, the only senator from a state in rebellion to reject secession.
@Denver Hays You know exactly why. African-americans and native americans have all the right to be angry. Their ancestor suffered atrocities. And even now generations after the end of slavery they still suffer
@Denver Hays There is no reasoning with people like you! I never mention reparations once, its way to late for that. All they want is equality, nothing wrong with that. We scream everytime a black person gets killed by a white? You do realise that this has been happening since after the slaves were free, probably things alot worse thats being filmed. But you don't care do you? Kuz if its not happening or could not happen to you or your family or friends you don't care.
America has done many things that has shamed and blemished itself, But what makes america great is it's willingness to change towards "All men were created equal". Sometimes it was a means for end, but a change non the less, this year is finally the time to set the record straight for black people.

ROBERT E. LEE DID FREE SLAVES. AS MANY OTHER CONFEDERATE GENERALS AND SOLDIERS DID. THEY MADE DEALS WITH THEIR SLAVES THAT IF THEY FOUGHT AGAINST THE UNION THEY WOULD BE GRANTED THEIR FREEDOM. MANY BLACKS FOUGHT FOR THE CONFEDERATE ARMY AND WERE FREED BY THE CONFEDERACY FOR DOING SO. Don't be ignorant of history. That's pathetic.
@z ! Nothing said was degrading. But he is correct. Actually improving education, removal of common core, losing weight, etc. All would better use of time.
Luis Rosales it’s about what the statues represent. Not only were confederate soldiers traitors to the American constitution, they unapologetically committed crimes against humanity (aka terrorist). The 1,500+ monuments and statues were propaganda pushed by the Daughters of the Confederacy to try to paint slave owners as heroes / brave soldiers. They are trying to rewrite or “correct” history, this isn’t even a crazy conspiracy theory, it’s a legit cult with a specific agenda. Look up Daughters/ Sons of Confederacy.

He didn’t free them! They were supposed to be free upon the passing of his grandfather and Lee kept them enslaved inspire of what the will said. You need to learn more Connie.
There are multiple letters from Lee denouncing slavery as evil and immoral institution. He was clearly as anti slavery as one could be in the south at that time. Not really up for debate. You can read the letters online. However, he was a traitor to our nation and should not be held as a hero.
I loved how he addressed the people in the room directly by name. Holds them personally accountable for their actions. Also, every time he said "Connie," I felt a knife going in Connie's heart. That was some Grade A shaming. 😂
Not so sure about the intelligence since it seems he may not of done his research on Robert E Lee but whatever. Just fighting supposed racism within the US.
@@mandodelossantos2 he wasn't loud or obnoxious. He was informed and had researched his point. He had proof Connie was lying, shopping and disrespecting her fellow board members, the speakers and the concerns of the community. He had proof the General was a cruel slave master. He had proof of why the community had voted for the board members, who is in the community and possible renamings. I saw nothing obnoxious, I saw a good public speaker who knew and shared it.
I guess 1.5 thousand people understand nuance ,what history is and how to put it into its proper context. Oh and maybe because this guy's understanding of Robert e. Lee is misinformed. There's plenty of literature from Lee himself about how he felt about slavery ,the Yankees and fighting for the south. Also literature about Lincoln asking Lee to fight for and lead the union army . Lee turned this down because he didn't want to fight against his family . Whats worse is that almost no soldiers of the confederacy owned slaves. They simply fought because the north was trying to take over the south. Nor would the north let the south suscede from the union , which was perfectly within their right. And as you and all these uneducated people continue to be ignorant about history ....just remember one of the largest slave plantation and owner of slaves was a black man in Georgia or Tennessee, can't remember off the top of my head .I won't even touch on how the black Africans sold their own people. People who were slaves in Africa and if not for coming here ,to this day would still be slaves . Just ask the slaves that are still being sold out of Africa and ask those who have lived in generational slavery . Black people are only free in the western world thanks to those evil white people. If it weren't for white people putting an end to the practice, blacks around the world still would be slaves. I'm sure ,like this man in the video , that you don't want to have the real discussion about slavery because a real discussion involves being grateful to white people for making it possible for blacks to be anything other than slaves.
@@robertkleiman you probably think he was wronged with Arlington. Lee was a capital T traitor. And grateful to white people? Jesus h Christ as a white person this deeply disturbs me.

I wonder if it’s one of the many untrue statements of the daughters of the confederacy (pro-slavery) who wanted to preserve southern history. I grew up in the north being told sourthen schools had worse text books; I thought that’s crazy. Low behold; “lost caus”; these people really learned that slaves were happy, frolicking, and sing-singing
Breanna Lynn some where. They were still slaves. The lost cause isn’t a myth...states rights was actually the cause...course some of those rights pertained to slavery.
Until Americans figure out that they made a mistake in the past. It'll never move forward. People say it's just a statue. Well take it down then. No one was alive when he was born. So take it down.
Exactly this, we're not asking for statues to be torn down because we want to forget about history. It's actually the complete opposite, we want the statues torn down because we remembered our history and realized that the statue should have never been built in the first place.
@@artisticcannibalism1350 but that's status wasnt built because of there bad quality's. They were built because the person did something that no other person could manage to do.

That’s what they fundamentally don’t get. He is at a school board meeting; the “right place” or the “correct place” to have this discussion (per non-violent criticism) and yet, the people in power - as being pointed out - are not listening or even CARING about what the community wants.

@@streetcitystudio - When I was 22 and training to become an officer I went to Deepcut once and one of the guards looked at me oddly and plainly said - 'no white squaddie will follow a black officer in battle." Simple as that. I finished my training but never joined as an officer. Instead I went in as an ordinary squaddie. Did my 5 years and quit. I know that it's different here in the UK, outright racism is hidden and insidious. You won't find any black officers, ship captains or fighter pilots in the UK military forces but they exist in the USA. You won't find many black bosses / headmasters or heads of department in industry either. That would not be the case if all Americans were like the "Connie? in the video.

For all your obvious problems - you are better than us here in Europe.
I really don't understand how the US can call himself "land of the free" when there are so many problems with racism. My country learned from its mistakes. And that's good. But where is the self reflection about mistakes and crime in US History. It's a shame

1861-1933. After the election of Abraham Lincoln, Southern Democratsled the charge to secede from the Union and establish the ConfederateStates. The United States Congress was dominated by Republicans, save for Andrew Johnson of Tennessee, the only senator from a state in rebellion to reject secession.
Only in America will someone talk about patriotism while defending a traitor.

Revenge for what ? Are you a slave ? Were you a slave ? Was i a slave ?
America has done many things that has shamed and blemished itself, But what makes america great is it's willingness to change towards "All men were created equal". Sometimes it was a means for end, but a change non the less, this year is finally the time to set the record straight for black people.

You can always hope and pray they voted down because they didn’t like the racist lady... >,> but that’s probably wishful thinking.
I guess 1.5 thousand people understand nuance ,what history is and how to put it into its proper context. Oh and maybe because this guy's understanding of Robert e. Lee is misinformed. There's plenty of literature from Lee himself about how he felt about slavery ,the Yankees and fighting for the south. Also literature about Lincoln asking Lee to fight for and lead the union army . Lee turned this down because he didn't want to fight against his family . Whats worse is that almost no soldiers of the confederacy owned slaves. They simply fought because the north was trying to take over the south. Nor would the north let the south suscede from the union , which was perfectly within their right. And as you and all these uneducated people continue to be ignorant about history ....just remember one of the largest slave plantation and owner of slaves was a black man in Georgia or Tennessee, can't remember off the top of my head .I won't even touch on how the black Africans sold their own people. People who were slaves in Africa and if not for coming here ,to this day would still be slaves . Just ask the slaves that are still being sold out of Africa and ask those who have lived in generational slavery . Black people are only free in the western world thanks to those evil white people. If it weren't for white people putting an end to the practice, blacks around the world still would be slaves. I'm sure ,like this man in the video , that you don't want to have the real discussion about slavery because a real discussion involves being grateful to white people for making it possible for blacks to be anything other than slaves.
@@robertkleiman you probably think he was wronged with Arlington. Lee was a capital T traitor. And grateful to white people? Jesus h Christ as a white person this deeply disturbs me.

Maybe. We’ll see. Exactly what you said though, “we are a different country” meaning we do different things and have different standards, so tearing down a statue that showcases a no-good racist slave master needs to be done. Remember? We are a different country.
Not that difficult to deliver a speech like that when you are educated, know your history and dedicated to serving the community. I salute this gentleman. Thanks for your service.
He’s running for Congress now! Gary Chambers 2021
Awesome
YASSSSS
If I could vote for him, I would!
He's got my Vote!!!
He’s too much truth! America 🇺🇸 would rather swallow lies, than embrace truth! Because truth is unpopular and uncompromising!
There was a Robert E. Lee middle school here in Orlando FL. They changed the name about 4 years ago.
as they should
They changed my old middle school name too several years ago. Jefferson Davis Middle
We have a Robert E Lee and a Jefferson Davis High in Montgomery AL
Diva Libra well AL is bunch of incestuous hilbillies so I expect that.
Tyler, TX has a Robert E. Lee high school. Would love it to see that changed.
God this guy deserves a medal! What a powerful speech that was! I love how he didn’t hesitate to call out racists by their names sitting in front of him!!
RGAMING yes, for a speech cause I bet you don’t even have the guts to do and say what he just did
we need more people like this young man speaking, but sadly the mentality of millions of people has to change
Shopping Online while people fight for Justice!?
Tsk, Typical! 😏
@today is not yesterday At home right? In between while you're on your laptop at home. Not in a Courthouse or in a city hall while people are trying to talk to you and ask you to change the name of a school right? I mean you're not that councilwoman replying to me right because that would be weird.🤔😳
John Days wait ungrateful for what
Typical Karen
@John Days its her job as a board member to listen to the concerns of the community. She's not getting paid to shop online during her job. She should be fired
Shopping online because he's robbed and torn down the shops nowhere else to shop
I've seen some comments about people talking about the man's weight rather than his points... truly shows the extent of their reasoning skills
While iam learning from him and feeling the real history📚
Its a free country
I’m normally the person who calls out a persons weight but I was more interested in his words than his weight.
@@caddeeye Syress will put the pounds on. Once he is heard, it'll all roll off.
Michael Bracken You must have a boring life
We need this guy to go into politics.
He needs to be president.
He's now running for Congress in Louisiana 2nd. I've just seen his first campaign video. He's got good ideas, and he's so well articulated at putting those ideas out there with passion and conviction. I really hope he does well.
You got your wish!
Wow. The passion of this speaker comes from knowledge & truth. Only admiration for him.
“I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain.”
-James Baldwin
It's sad how many have been brainwashed into thinking people are racist because they're proud of their roots... One can condemn the evils of our past while celebrating the beauty of the culture
Peace and love
@@wulfkriger3356 and a great way to do that is not naming schools after people who fought for the right to own other human beings.
@@DoubleADwarf Or were literal traitors trying to overthrow the US government
This is America. A high percentage of them are like her.
Only the whites who haven't felt pain, some whites have and they want change but most don't. But don't for a second say that most Americans are like that.
Okay i understand your point and all, but completely unrelated i thought he was a man
@@edwardiancu7205 The person speaking was a man, the woman he was talking about was 'Connie'
@@streetcitystudio -
When I was 22 and training to become an officer I went to Deepcut once and one of the guards looked at me oddly and plainly said - 'no white squaddie will follow a black officer in battle."
Simple as that. I finished my training but never joined as an officer. Instead I went in as an ordinary squaddie. Did my 5 years and quit.
I know that it's different here in the UK, outright racism is hidden and insidious. You won't find any black officers, ship captains or fighter pilots in the UK military forces but they exist in the USA. You won't find many black bosses / headmasters or heads of department in industry either.
That would not be the case if all Americans were like the "Connie? in the video. I think you ARE right and that most white Americans are not like "Connie" or "Karen" that we saw. The USA has plenty of black officers and bosses - including in your military. For all your obvious problems - you are better than us here in Europe.
crazyken productions most of our fellow citizens are like Connie. It’s up to us to step up like this activist here.
I really don't understand how the US can call himself "land of the free" when there are so many problems with racism.
My country learned from its mistakes. And that's good. But where is the self reflection about mistakes and crime in US History.
It's a shame
US has for decades swept its problems under the rug and said they don't exist. Even today you can find people who dismiss these problems or devalue them. Eventually these problems will only become more blatant.
@@fredv7349 Maybe I am considered one of those people to you, for saying ALM. I suppose you are on the side of BLM, Black Lies Matter? They a Marxist group, and the co-founder has admitted to being a "trained Marxist". They told white people to kneel to them because they are racist (assuming that all white people are racist- is racist). If you'd like more examples of why the organization BLM is trash, please let me know!
@@thecowellie928 not here to defend BLM or ALM.
@Hi There it makes sense. Seems unreasonable for a government to openly admit to their flaws. Far more easier to dismiss theses shortcomings or avert attention. Pretty sure a lot of countries are similar in that regard.
Can I come to your country. Btw which country you live in.
😂 he made sure to squeeze in everyone’s name!! Good on you mate!! Half a world away yet I still feel the powerful soul resonating off this man 👍 👏
lmao Robert. E Lee freed the slaves, where did this girl get her education 😂
Robert only freed the slaves when the Confederacy lost, if the Confederacy won, he wouldn't freeing the slaves
@@citrusflame6847 he freed them because he had to. That was part of the inheritance. And he waited as long as possible to do so.
Where did she get her education? Pretty sure it was Louisiana. I was in school in LA the 90's still being taught the lost cause mythos.
Just clarifying. OP was repeating what Connie said about Lee freeing slaves here 1:38.
He was compelled by the US govt to let them go free. He didn't free them
** Finish her! ** (in Mortal Kombat voice)
👏👏👏😂😂😂
FLAWLESS VICTORY!!!
Karen's big sister Connie out here shopping for dresses since Karen is banned from the stores for not wearing a mask.
Jokes aside, why isn't Connie fired yet?
better yet, why hasn't she been arrested. I looked up the video of her choking a teenaged boy (he was a tall teenager, but a child nonetheless). That's assault of a minor.
scandal369 fr?!??!
@@pammccune1630 yep. Google her name. I found the video on reddit. She seemed ... off somehow. Violent.
@@pammccune1630 my sister joked that, "Connie is abt that life."🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@pammccune1630 yeap the guy mentioned that in the video also but they edited it out.
Months later and l still get chill bumps listening to this eloquent gentleman.
This gave me chills!!!! Thank you baby! You are appreciated for speaking out with so much power and poise.
Righteous anger gives clarity to mind and heart. Preach brahhh!!!
This MAN NEEDS to be heard
Funny, so does the hobo down the street saying the "end is nigh"
@Frank busvek diet or no diet he still spoke the truth. You seem a little superficial to be more concerned with his appearance and not his words.
@z ! you're one of those "safe space" people aren't you
This man needs to STFU
Alessandro Gambino
You need it read a book
"And we DONE begging you to do what's right!" His love shines like a powerful star, not because he feels sorry for the oppressors' ignorance, but because he articulately UNDERSTANDS the oppressors' CLEAR AND SELF-EVIDENT biases and feels sorry for the proper people to stand of the side of, the oppressed.
