According to the Washington Examiner<\/a>, New York Congresspersons are upset because somewhere, out of sight of most New Yorkers, on Fort Hamilton, New York are two streets named for Robert E. Lee and Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson. The Army contends that renaming the streets would clash with the intended purpose – reconciliation. Of course, the perpetually outraged aren’t satisfied with the answer;<\/p>\n

Rep. Yvette Clarke, D-N.Y., mocked the decision as a victory for white supremacy. “That \u2018reconciliation’ was actually complicity by the North and the South to ignore the interests of African Americans and enforce white supremacy, effectively denying the result of the Civil War for generations,” she said Monday. “These monuments are deeply offensive to the hundreds of thousands of Brooklyn residents and members of the armed forces stationed at Fort Hamilton whose ancestors Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson fought to hold in slavery.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I will continue to call on @USArmy<\/a> to reckon with history & remove the names of Confederate generals from Fort Hamilton, Brooklyn. pic.twitter.com\/j6DzwWSJP3<\/a><\/p>\n
