Dear Ms. Lunelle,
In reply to the news report you shared (here), I respond as follows:
God bless Representative Andrew Clyde of Georgia who led 192 Republican to vote to restore the Reconciliation Cenotaph in Arlington National Cemetery as part of an Amendment to the 2024 National Defense Authorization. Shame on those Republicans who did not.
The rape, plunder, murder, burning of property is what the Army of the Potomac heaped upon the defenseless old men women and children of the South. And it was why President McKinley begged the women of the South to put aside the memory of and build a Reconciliation Memorial in Arlington.
What DNA Traitor Don Byers and damn Yankee Hakeem Jeffries don't understand is that for loyal Southern Blacks it is disheartening to see a bigoted, White Supremacist Cemetery that turned down two petitions by its so called US Colored Troops to be buried alongside its Yankee peers. The same Colored Troops whose wives were used as concubine, the same ones with bayonets at their backs as they were forced to the front of battle lines. And not to forget the infamous Battle of the Crater and the Battle of Olustee where they were cannon fodder.
Nor should we forget the signage in Arlington of the 1st Yankee Colored Officer (a surgeon) who received the same pay as a private; deemed just another Colored soldier.
And for Jeffries’ and Beyers’ information, the only integrated entity in that unholy place was the Reconciliation Cenotaph designed by Jewish Sculptor Moses Ezekiel that rightfully depicted the most powerful and trusted Black woman on any Southern Plantation..."a Mammy!"
And not to forget the trusted, loyal, and fearless Black Confederate soldier who like the Honorable General Nathan Bedford Forest said of..."No better Confederate ever lived!"
We loyal Southern Blacks ask of President Joe Biden to stand up like President Obama and so many of his Presidential peers have done with a wreath placed on this Memorial that he should order to be put back as the Commander In Chief of these rogue soldiers and the criminal Democrats who have no respect for law as they continue to act in violation of the Bill of Attainder to justify their slander and sacrilege. God bless you!
Your brother,
