  • For clarification: this isn't new, from what I can tell in the article, they started the Robert E Lee holiday following the civil war, and MLK day came after.

    Not that they shouldn't be absolutely clowned on for this.

  • I can't wait to watch the speech.

    "And along with freedom fighter, Martin Luther King, we would also like to honor the great general Lee, who fought hard to keep half of our population in servitude and went on to surrender valiantly. While he didn't win the war, he won our hearts."
