However, one elderly NAACP leader had something to say about this that sparked a lot of attention:

“I think it’s all senseless. All senseless,” Esther Lee, president of the Bethlehem, Pennsylvania chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People said Tuesday, WFMZ reported.

Lee is appalled at the left for trying to destroy, vandalize, and remove the Confederate and historical monuments from the face of the nation.

“You know that’s history. That was at that point in time. You can’t eliminate what history is. So I disapprove with young people pulling down those statues,” she said.


NBA legend Charles Barkley “I’m not going to waste my time worrying about these Confederate statues — that’s wasted energy,” he said. “You know what I’m gonna do? I’m gonna keep doing great things, I’m gonna keep trying to make a difference — number one, in the black community because I’m black — but I’m also going to try to do good things in the world.”
