In Charlottesville, Virginia, the city is preparing for a white nationalist rally on Saturday protesting against the planned removal of a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee from a downtown park. The "Unite the Right" event is expected to draw several thousands of people, including counterprotesters. White nationalist Richard Spencer has organized similar protests earlier this year. City officials are reportedly scrambling to find ways to halt the event. At least 60 publicly funded Confederacy symbols have been removed or renamed since the 2015 massacre of nine black parishioners in a Charleston, South Carolina, church by a self-described white supremacist, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center. We speak with Wes Bellamy, vice-mayor of Charlottesville, Virginia. He is the youngest person to ever be elected to the Charlottesville City Council and has been leading the opposition to a Robert E. Lee statue in the city.

SELL it?!? They need to let black folks take weapons and have a go at it until that B@st@rd is DESTROYED!

Just finished watching the interview and the interviewee is coming across as a bit c**nish. Yes, I understand he is an elected representative but he took it a bit too far by saying that "He personally has no problem with Robert E. Lee." ALL black people should have a problem with Robert E. Lee! If white folks want that statue, they need to put it somewhere tucked away from the public's eyes.

I don't like Robert Lee but I respect him, he never cared for slavery and he was apathetic towards Blacks for the most part. He was a general who was loyal to his State and he was gonna fight for his State, and from what I know he didn't care if they joined the Union or the Confederacy. If people were educated about him they would know he was loyal Virginian more than anything else, he deserves a statute, just like Nate Turner.

The ONLY people that deserve equestrian statues are those who fought for the rights of ALL humanity, like Frederick Douglass or John Brown. Whites use this excuse of "Southern Pride" to defend the practices of the South but they were anti-human and straight up EVIL.

wtf you 'respect' Robert E Lee?

I'm not sure about Wes Bellamy, we have some mutual friends but I can't really read him. I know that him and his wife and two daughters have had their lives threatened NUMEROUS times and he didn't back down on removing the statue. He get's a lot of hate for not showing up to some of the counter protests and etc, but these men literally have a noose around his neck and a gun to his head.

Reparations can take many forms from cash payments to concessions at colleges, employment etc. Other, less conventional reparations are possible such as taxing whites at higher rates and burdizzo therapy.

They knew what they was doing. All white people do is start stuff. Then the president have the audacity to say many sides are at fault. NO! White people are at fault cause they knew some sh!t would pop off if they rallied and walked through neighborhoods.White people always starting stuff then play as victim.

Agreed.

Black people love to major in the minors. Money in your pocket brings a lot of pull. Yelling with empty pockets brings laughter.
This kind of stuff basically takes you no where.

He's probably been getting death threats for his efforts to remove the statue, so maybe that's why he said it. That statue belongs in a landfill.

Well
Fredrick Douglass fought for other than black ppl and like idc about him or the issue that much so u got it

I hope you're not black. Because you would be up in someone's fields picking cotton right now and being whipped by the overseer if it wasn't for people like Frederick Douglass and the other abolitionists who fought for the freedom of blacks.

Oh sh!t, so they're getting rid of it? YASSSS!

Those protesters are such fµck!ng losers. How pathetic is your college life where protesting for WHITE SUPREMACY on a Saturday night is a thing for you?

And the people that really need a statues are the people who you lynched, abolitionist, and enslaved Africans. Not no damn Robert E. Lee. White people STAY using the excuse of southern pride as a why to mask their racism. fµck them. Take it down.

Alotta ppl talk and don't even know anything except he fought for the Confederacy. He truly fought only for the state of Virginia, and he would've been on the side of whoever side the Governor of VA, whether the Union or Confederacy. He was a very capable General, more capable than the Union Generals. The only thing that helped the Union win was numbers and nothing else. So yeah I respect, not like, him, the way he held his ground winning battle after battle with so few men (in comparison to the Union) he deserves a statute in the state of Virginia, just like Nat Turner deserves one.
