    Pastor who's a descendent of Robert E Lee forced to resign

    https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.was...to-vma-speech/


    He was the great-great-great-great-nephew of Confederate Army General Robert E. Lee, and he felt it was his moral duty to speak out against his ancestor, "an idol of white supremacy, racism and hate." He said as much when he took the microphone near the end of the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards, when he introduced himself by a familiar-sounding name: Robert Lee IV

    He should have known there would be a backlash....and maybe he did....he should not be portrayed as a victim now..

    That situation was a political sword and anyone who fell on one side or the other got CUT...and even if they saw this and refused to be divided one side or the other sifted the rhetoric and put them on one or the other...

    I think the story is probably misrepresenting what happened. One comment:
    Another commenter wrote that rather than appear on television, Lee should devote his time to ministering: “You have how many faithful members? Maybe if you spent more time around the church that number would increase.”
    seems to indicate perhaps he was not doing his job.
