Al Sharpton to protest Brooklyn street named for Confederate army leader

[Jeff]

Wow give a inch and they want a mile, yes they won the battle back in 2000 and the flag was removed from a top the state house, it now sits on a confederate monument, now the Blacks want it removed altogether ( anyone else seeing a pattern here, all one sided I would say ) Now the Hero of the blacks wants street names named after Confederate generals changed, yup the same ass wipe that hasn't paid taxes in how long will dictate to America what we can and can't have. Man talk about brainless, and folks follow this idiot.

All this because some mental case killed people in Charleston SC, man these idiots are using a tragedy to get the flag taken away now street names changed, one has to wonder just how much the blacks even care about their own, as Charleston white and Black a like mourn these poor folks the blacks are looking for gains, class act.



The Rev. Al Sharpton wants a new name for General Lee Avenue in Brooklyn, New York.
The street, which runs through the center of Fort Hamilton, New York City's only US military base, was named in honor of Robert E. Lee (http://www.businessinsider.com/general-lee-avenue-in-brooklyn-2015-6), who led the Confederate troops during the Civil War.
Lee served at Fort Hamilton from 1841 to 1846 while in the US Army.

And the Military Facilities. We sometimes stay at http://www.militarycampgrounds.us/virginia/champs-camp-rv-park which is on Ft. A.P. Hill.

AP Hill was a Confederate General. This will be heresy to Rev. Al!

Lee was an amazing and fierce battlefield commander and tactician who served honorably and respected by both sides during the war. I don't see why we're concerned about changing a street named after him. We have more important matters to worry about.
