I'm offended. I demand justice against George Washington's extreme racism! Who's with me!?

There's a very key difference: George Washington founded this country. Robert E. Lee tried to tear it down. That's why we took down Lee's statue and not Washington's.

Both men were rebels against the ruling authority. Both fought in an army that decided the government was getting too big for its britches.

*Deep sigh* You're really defending the guy who defended Slavers?

*Deep sigh* You're really defending the guy who founded America on slavery?

Wait, you're actually serious? I thought you were joking! I thought you were an alt-right troll XD Sorry

I still disagree, but I can reason with you.

I'm playing devil's advocate more than anything else. I believe the Washington Monument and Lee's statue should stay up, but I certainly understand your position.
