Robert E. Lee statue on historic Virginia street r

"Lawrence West, founder of BLM RVA, told CNN Tuesday it is "very satisfying, gratifying" that the statue was being removed. His group has occupied the space surrounding the Lee monument -- unofficially dubbed by protesters the Marcus-David Peters Circle in honor of a Black teacher who was killed by police while experiencing a "mental health crisis" -- since June 2020 amid protests over Floyd's death."

And so I am wondering why Virginia takes down a so called "racist statue" for a obviously racist group? Also wondering what Robert E. Lee had to do with a police shooting???? Ignorance can be the only answer.
Or is it Confederate descendants won't stand up to these idiots???
