One of the big current issues in Virginia is the controversy as to where to more the Confedarate museum. It is currently in Richmond, but they are considering moving the museum to Lexingtion, V.A. Alot of blacks are complaining that the museum is a symbol of rascicim, and do not want the museum to exsist at all, claiming that it is offending to them. For me, the museum is a symbol of our heritage, and if it bothers other people, that's just too bad. And I mean, really, why should this bother them, and why should we not be able to have the museum there? There really is no reason that we should have to bend our wills and be walking on glass just so we don't offend anyone.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not a rascist, and I know slavery was a terrible thing, but this museum isn't pro- slavery.
